MERA SUREME0 N HNTS SHOW0NN FL1I1ES - TRA VEL, LO NG DI1STAN CES - That the house fly not uncommonly e makes a journey of 5 to 6 miles in the Space of 24 hours, is shown by ex 1, periments conducted by the Bureau of .' Entomology, United States Depart - ment of Agriculture. The ease with t which flies travel many miles shows the importance of general sanitary measures to destroy hreeding places. Fly flights were conducted in nor thern Texas, where approximately 234,000 flies of many different species were trapped, then dusted with finely e powdered red chalk, and liberated. e Fly traps baited with food highly re lished by the flies were placed at measured intervals in all directions fro mnthe points of release. By means of these secondary traps, it was pos sible to determine the directiou and flight of different species of flies. The tests showed that 0E flie, at ter regaining their freedeen, weld travel distances up to I?,O q ft in a few minutes.

The maximum Iistance traveled by the house fly ii bese cxperiments was 13.11 miles.
