CLEAN-UP TIME. Filthy Accumulations of the Winter Must Go Now The Destruction of a Single Fly or Mosquito Now May Mean Millions Less During the Sum mer. The season has arrived for the health boards and civic bodies to or ganize their clean-up days. The fiil thy accumulations of the winter must now go. These are not only unsight. ly, but breed flies and other insects which are carriers of disease. The myriads of flies seen in the summer time all come from a few which have survived the winter in cellars or oth er protected places. The female may lay 150 eggs at a time. These develop into adult flies in about ten days and pass through seven to ten generations annually, so that the progeny of an over-wintering female may amount to several billion in a single season. Al though preferring horse manure, they will breed in any decaying organic matter. If flies find nothing to feed on and no convenient breeding place, they will go , to your more careless or filthy neighbor. Mosquitoes, like flies come from the few that have survived the winter. They breed with the same rapidity in any quiet pool of water. The rain water in an old tomato can or broken piece of crockery on the rubbish heaps will serve as a conven ient breeding place and produce enough jnosquitoes to infest a neigh borhood These facts show that the destruction, now, of a single fly or mosquito may mean millions less dur ing the summer ROBESON.
