HOUSEFLY: The appear
ance of the housefly is too well
known to require an extensive
description.
Life History and Habits:
There are four stages in che
development of the housefly—
eggs, larva, pupa and adult.
Eggs are laid on various kinds
of organic matter, particularly
moist manures. Eggs are hatch
ed in less than a day and mag
gots complete their growth and
pupate in less than a week. Un-
-der favorable conditions a gen
eration may develop in less
than 2 weeks. A female may
lay as many as 600 eggs and at
least 10 generations are easily
produced in South Carolina an
nually. This means, that a single
female might begin a cycle in
mid-April and by September its
progeny would number ope and
one-half trillion under favor
able conditions. Fortunately for
mankind these favorable con
ditions never exist.
- Nature of Damage: House
flies are disease carriers. Such
diseases as typhoid fever and
dysentery are spread by these
pests.
Control: Screening is the most
single control measure to be
directed against houseflies.
Complete screening of all open
ings, including doors, windows,
and cracks, is essential.
Elimination of breeding
places is important. But from
a practical farm viewpoint, ac
complishment is somewhat dif
ficult. Stables should be clean
ed as often as practicable and
manures from all animals
should be spread thinly on
fields. Some improvement would
result in hauling manure to
fields in the summer during
“layby” time as well as during
the winter. Stables in cities

should be cleaned twice a week.
Open outhouses cieate a
menace, as flies breed in human
feces. They may crawl over
human food and scatter germs
of serious diseases of the ali
mentary tract. Waste matter
should not be allowed to ac
cumulate at one spot on account
of breeding flies.
Formulas for Fly Control:
Sanitation plus screening plus
use of chemicals equal fly con
trol.
Sanitation means that fly
breeding will be reduced to a
minimum by good management
practices.
Chemicals used around farm
buildings can be most import
ant in fly control. Clemson Ex
tension Information Card No.
94—Control of Houseflies in
farm Buildings gives details on
use of chemicals. This card may
' be obtained from the County
Agent’s office.
) Residual sprays are more ef
fective where applied in out
buildings. But with the insecti
cides recommended today, there
is little opportunity for using
them in the home. In some
instances, Korlan and Malath-
ion may be used on the outside
of the home to give better fly
control.
Liquid and dry baits have
much value. Dry baits are much
more widely used around steps
and similar places of farm
homes. They require no special
application equipment. They
must be applied daily until the
fly population is reduced. Many
I dry baits are commercially
j available. Space sprays, as
from aerosol cans or mist spray,
are widely used in homes to
kill flies and other insects.
Using a fly swatter is the sim
plest way to dispose of a few
flies in a room.
There are a number of other
household insects that are sure
to give some trouble during the
spring and summer months.
Therefore let’s be on the guard
against them. Just to name a
few are the cockroaches, ants,
bedbugs, fleas, termites, spi
ders, red bugs, sandflies, and
ticks. For more information on
Household Insects and their
Control, you may get a copy of
Clemson Extension Information
Bulletin No. 101, “Household
Insects” from the County Ag
ent’s office.
Garden Notes: After early
spring, gardeners usually slow
down a great deal. The spring
fever declines as temperatures
soar. Don’t let earlier efforts to
include new plantings suffer as
the result of your heat prostra
tion—they need adequate water
to survive in case moisture is
not available. A sprinkling will
not do any good Remember,
when watering, soak rather
than sprinkle. Disregard your
urge to be a stingy sprinkler.
Afew dead plants cost more
to replace than the water. Mul
ches applied now will save on
the water bill. Apply mulches
one to two inches thick. Mat
erials for mulches include pine
straw, ground corn cobs, ground,
or rough pine bark, and well-
rotted saw duet.

Income Tax
information
Q—What are some of the
things that could delay a re
fund ?
A—There are several major
reasons for refund delays. One
is that the return might be sel
ected for examination before
the refund is issued. A second
is that insufficient or inaccur
ate information is supplied with
the return by the taxpayer.
Typical examples of this are
missing W-2 forms, schedules,
signatures and omitted or in
correct Social Security num
bers.
While it may be little conso
lation to any one who has a
refund delayed for any of these
reasons, most of the properly
prepared claims for refnnds
are processed and the refund
checks are mailed within six
to eight weeks after the return
is received. Delays occur in a
very small percentage of the
total refunds requested.
Q—Last year our garden
club had a card party to raise
funds and had to collect a 10
per cent admission tax on the
tickets. Do we have to collect
this tax again for this year’s
party ?
A—No. This tax was repealed
at the end of last year and is
no longer applicable.
Q—We just moved here from
out of state. I want to ask about
my refund which hasn’t arriv
ed. Where should I write, to
my old district where I filed
my return or to the one that
serves me now?
A—Please wait until the end
of June for your refund before
writing. It is most likely that
you will have received it by
| then. A letter now will only add
to the workload of our people
who are trying to get the re
funds out.
If your refund has not ar
rived by then, write to the of
fice where you filed your re
turn. Include your Social Sec
urity number in the letter.
In the meantime, be sure to
file a change of address form
with the postmaster at your old
address.
Q—We are selling our house.
What records should we keep
for tax purposes?
A—Records showing the price
you receive for the house, as
well 'as the expenses you in
curred in making the sale
should be kept. Records of ad
vertising costs, brokers’ com
missions apd legal fees that
were incurred because of the
sale should be kept to verify
the “selling expenses” that
will be deducted from the sales
price.
Records of the original cost
of the property to you, includ
ing commissions and the cost
of improvements^ should be
kept so that you will be able
to verify your cost basis of the
sold property. If you buy ano
ther house, similar records on
that purchase should be kept.
There is a complete discussion
of this subject in IRS Docu
ment No. 5017, “Selling Your
Home,” available by writing to
the District Director.
Q—I filed an estimated tax
declaration in April and I now
find the new withholding rates
will take care of my tax liabil
ity. What do I do about the
second instilment of estimated
{tax due June 15 ?
A—File an amended declara
tion by Junev 15. You can use
the reverse side of the June 15
bill to amend your estimate.
No payment will be necessary
if withholding is now sufficient
to satisfy your tax obligations.
Q—I just took a part-time
job. Is there anyway to keep
them from withholding Social
Security ? They will take out
enough to satisfy my year’s
requirements on my first job.
A—No. The law requires em
ployers to withhold for Social
Security on the first $6,600 of
wages, paid by them, to each
employee. Accordingly, your
employer is required by law to
withhold Social Security from
your pay. However, if as a re
sult of working for more than
one employer, more than $277,-
20 has been withheld for Social
Security, you may claim the
evcess as a credit on your 1966
income tax return, thereby eith
er reducing the amount of tax
due or increasing the amount
of your refund check.
