ORGANIZE AGAINST TRE FLY. ' Home Demonutfation Aifent Adviaen 'Quick Action in Fly-Swaftin*: : — V ' RoalizinK the necessity cl the people to a realization of Rees lurking in the apparently,'''no- cent house-fly, Miss Nellie R.\Kay, County Agent Home Demonstration Work, has prepared the following a' tide for the readers of- The People:' “The early fl^’s the one to swat, * It comes, before the Weather’s hot, , And sits around and fries its legs, And lays at least tern million eggs. And every egg' will bring a fly To, drive us crazy by and by,” a - ' -v And because it is now time to be gin an active campaign against the too common “house-fly,” I am writing to draw this fact to the attention of our people. This subject is not very nice from an ethical standpoint, but since it af fects us so vitally, it behooves us t° stop and consider it very carefully. Nor must w*- stop’at that point, 1'Ut put the knowledge gained to some use, or in other words, begin our war fare against “Mr. Fly.” ^ . 1 For many years this common pest was known as the “house-fly,” but in later years scientists changed his name to “typhoid fly s ” for they found that jie carried these germs on his feet. “A little fly played in a dusty street And typhoid germs got on his feet, Next day he walked on sugar and bread— . . ^ , The fsiy who ate it is now'in bed. If folks learn to read, but d<vnot rare, What’s the use of school-house there. If the fly that plays in the gutter Wipes his feet on the hrrad and but ter?” • Not only doe* he carry typhoid ^germ* no his feet, fait He also <ar- r ries other diseases. Many disease* affecting •mall children have l»een traced |o his door. The fly then i* our enemy and as- such we must fight him. Ami he is not so strong but that he may t>e over come. “Fare" and "perseverance" are the weapons with which to fight him. Now flies do not travel very fag, hence it follows that tlie flies that troulde you, Mrs. Housewife, were raised on your own premises, unless you live in t°*n and your neat *|oor neighUir is careless —or shsll we say “lazy?” Realizing the danger coming from the fly, let’s l>egin now to exterminate him. First destroy the breeding places in the stables. Sunlight ia death to many germs -likewise it des troys the larvae of tho fly. Use plen ty of Time around the premises. In spite of these precaution*, we may have flies. Then place fly-traps near the stable*. These may easily lie made from.iwtrel hoops and wire screen*. The Farm I *emon>t ration Agent or Home Demonstration Agent will Ih’ glad to assist you m giving di rections for making these traps. The trap is especially effective in its work in the town on the street and is a g«Msl object lesson for other folks, for many seeing the t r i*P at w *k, will go home and make owe for use on their own premises. The fly—or shall we gi\e his full name?—the “typhoid fly” is on the ' exterior of our homes. We lock or bar our doors to prevent the thief’s entrance; therefore, we must bar this greater enemy from entering our home*. So we find screens very ef fective. If you cannot afford wire screens—and they are not expensive —then use “mosquito petting.—,.Y*S the cloth. It will not last but one sea son, but is cheap and far better than no screen. And just a word to the large land owner who has many tenants on his farms. Can’t you assist these people to make their homes more sanitary by putting in screens ? Humanity de mands that we must “help one anoth er.” •In spite of these precautions, flies will slip in. Then use the “fly swat-, ter,” “tanglefoot,” “Daisy fly killer” and other devices. , There are Several towns entirely , free from flies. They offered the boys a certain sum of money for ^very quart of flies killed. Members of the Civic League, can’t you try some such plan in your town ? Let’s begin now and work unceasingly, using as our weap ons, “Care and Perseverance.” We can’t give up the fight, for twelve gen erations of flies may develop in one summer. “Napoleon was a conqueror and had the world aghast, But still he met his Waterloo and was exiled at last. For many years old General Fly to victory led his hosts, From “garbage can to careless folk he spread disease.
