Ant Control
We have received a number
of calls the past few days on
ants being a pest in lawns.
Well, for most pomplete and
long-lasting control, use the
broadcast method and then wet
down the treated area thor
oughly with water. This will
carry the chemical into the
soil. Apply either 1 pound of
10 percent chlordane granules
or 1 pound of 5 percent diel-
drin granules per 1000 square
feet. Either 5 or 10 percent
chlordane or one and a half
percent dieldrin dust may also
be used to control ants out
doors. Heptachlor may also be
used. Either of these chemicals
in a dust form and particularly
useful in treating rock walls,
ledges, trash piles, and othei
areas.
Why Control Roaches?
Weil, roaches destroy fooc 1
and damage fabrics, book bind
ing and other materials. When
roaches run over food they
leave filth and spread disease
germs. Some roaches, particul
arly the Germen, have develop
ed resistance to insecticides
such as chlordane and dieldrin
which have been in use for sev
eral years. In this case it is
necessary to use one of the
newer organic phosphate com
pounds such as Diazinon, Mala-
thion or Korlan. Where roaches
have not become resistant how
ever, chlordane and dieldren are
still preferred because these
materials have longer residual
action.
Sprays are usually preferred
for use inside homes. And oil-
base, ready-prepared, house
hold-type solution should be
purchased. Dusts are satisfac
tory for use in basements, gar
ages, under houses and in other
areas where the residue is not
objectionable.
Housefly
Did you know under favor
able coiditions a generation of
house flies may develop in less
than two weeks? Well, a fem
ale may lay as many as 600
eggs and at least 10 genera
tions are easily produced in
South Carolina annually. This
means that a SINGLE FEM
ALE might begin a cycle, in
mid-April and by -September
its progeny would number
ONE and ONE-HALF MILL
ION, under .favorable .condit
ions, fortunately for mankind
thesefavorable conditions never
exist.
CONTROL—Screening is the
i ;ost important single control
measure to be directed against
house flies.
.Elimination of breeding places
is important. But from a prac
tical farm viewpoint, .accom
plishment is somewhat difficult.
Stables should be cleaned as
often as possible. Stables, in
cities should be cleaned about
twice a week.
Open outhouses create a
menace as flies breed in human
feces. They may crawl over
human food and scatter germs
of serious diseases of the ail-
men tary tract. Waste water
should not be allowed to accu
mulate at one spot on account
of breeding flies.
CHEMICALS—used around
farm buildings can be most im
portant in fly control. Residual
sprays are more effective where
applied to outbuildings. But
with the insecticides recom
mended today, there is little op
portunity for using them in the
home. In some instances, Kor
lan and Malathion may be used
on the outside of the home to
give better fly control.
Remebber—Flies are disease
carriers, and the FORMULA
for fly control is: Sanitation
plus screening plus use of
chemicals equal fly control.

Look Alike As Two Peas, But...
Any difference between a cut-rate policy and
one issued by an old, established company
shows up only after a loss. A harsh settle
ment usually falls upon those least able to
afford it.
When you buy insurance, buy the best. That's
the kind of treatment you want in case of
misfortune.
