"If at first you don't succeed, swat swat again!" A mild winter and spring pres age the early arrival of our bit terest enemies flies in vastly increased numbers, Immediate, well directed efforts must be put forth if the threatening dangers are to be minimized. The time' to fight flies is before they be come flies when in the egg or when they are magnot3. The problem of elimination of filth. No filth, no flies. Flies breed in filth, play on filth, eat filth and distribute filth the filthiest kind of filth, too. If we do away with the breeding places of flies there will be no flies. Therefore the way to swat flies now is to clean up the fly-breeding filth. - Clean up, keep clean and see that 'your neighbors keep like wise, and you will have few, if any, flies to contend with. Of course have your swatter ready for the first arrivals. Notice I
