H. fSnvnnOn. extension entomologist att Slate, college. "The maggot- pro-; duced from these flies attack mostly; the pork hams ami shoulders which ha ve Keen cured and smoked. The J ;'i-. . hci meat, the more rapid the injury. Ok! pieces of meat which have become hard and dry and which, are sometimes covered with n co3li?v>i ?>t*' blue mold or a saIveiikc*layjer of iat,1 seem to be immune from attack, j ! Very fat meat, like bacon, is not ex-j iensrvely injured. The insect hppar-J emly prefers' lean moat." The best control method k to pro-J vent The adult flies from entering the storage room, states Mr. Bran- j ; non. This can be done by screening] with a 30-mech wire cloth and by I seeing that flies, do not enter the' room when the door is opened.;. Where the flies can enter this room. . the usual method of preventing in- ; testation, is to wrap each piece, of \ meat with paper and then enclose*, it ] in a tight sack. If^ the screen mesh wire is used, wrapping is not jveeded. Mr. Brannon states that the smokehouse shoukl need no iavAlcr protection. Where infested meat ' cannot be reconditioned by trim- : ming. the moat should be destroyed. Bones should not be allowed near 1 the meat as the- skippers breed, wuh- J; in these old bones. . .. ?.-* .....V ?.| wAvvnciii 'il.lTKei.

Jan. -V?In Oii printed pages totaling more than 30,000 words, Governor Alfred E. Smith yesterday laid before the Icgishit i;? e?and, incidentally at least, before the country?a summary of his political platform. By many of his friends and opponents it was jn cepted as a fairly complete exposition of the platform upon which he might bo considered a candidate for the Democratic presidential no mi nation . Among points he covered which might be deemed to have national scope, Governor Smith urged state development and control of public water power sites; restoration of the direct primary; extension, of basde home rule taws to towns and villages, and control by municipalities of pub lie utilities within their juvisdieton. j With reference to the broad ques tion of prohibition, the governor; urged ndopton of an amcsnk-m to the State constitution to provide that fit) amendment to the federal ccnstitu ion he raified by future legislatures1 until it had been approve;) by .1 referendum. The message aisi- vontainod a declaration for strict observance and enforcement of the! prohibition laws. XTo legislation af- j fecting prohibition was suggested. j ill. : of the governor's 2!) recom-i mendations for legislation were re- i petition of policies which have been; advocated by him for several years, t and which have repeatedly been defeated by Republican majorities in the legislature. Besides those men-, tioned they included requests for abolition of the motion picture cfip sorship; four-year term for governor with gubernatorial elections l>e-, tween presidential elections. and biennial sessions of the legislature. | VALLE CRUCIS Valie Cruris. .Tan.
