Judging from what these fair students tell us, the aprlnx fir is a sprendlng-er thing than liin'rirkltts and anything thnt ran spread faster than that Is some sprender. The enormous summer crop of flics develops from the few survivors which live over winter In our houses. Inesc (lies are just now waking up nnd buz zing n round the windows. Given the proper living conditions, a pair of these can produce a new brood every ten days. This rate, kept up in geometric ratio, means that this one pair would be responsible for the pro duction of 140,00(1 bushels of flies by the first of August. This Is about bev enty freight car loads. If the same rote continues through August nnd September the figure is n thousand nnd ninety-six septillions, plus especially plus. They sny that that is enough flies to spoil every plate of soup since soup was Invented. Not only should every surviving fly seen be "swatted." but we should see to It thnt any that mayhave passed the winter under cover out of doors cannot get Into the garbage can to get their first meal. So the girls got up a llm'rick contest among themselves nud are using the two winning llm'ricks In their campaign.
