' i TO SWAT THE FLY
. Uncle Sam is waging a relentless
war on the deadly housefly and in a
late bulletin prepared by the Depart-
ment of Agriculture; able, J
mation is given on the best means’
combating this deadly pest. The most
effective way of exterminating the
fly, according to the bulletin, is to
eradicate his breeding places. The
breeding season of the fly begins ear-
ly in March and continues throughout
the spring and summer months. All
dirt should be removed from the
premises, stables cleaned and decay-
ing vegetables destroyed.
The fly has rightly been called the
undertaker’s traveling salesman. and
in addition to his regular line of “ty-
phoid bugs” he carries a side line
of tuberculosis, Asiatic cholera and
other disease germs. NOW IS THE
TIME TO SWAT THE FLY. :
