Flies Multiply Fast
A female housefly may become
a great-grandmother in 60 days.
One housefly may lay as many as
2.700 eggs during a lifetime of
three months, says F. C. Bishopp,
entomologist of the United States
Department of Agriculture. Pre
ventive measures against this pest,
says Bishopp, include safe dis
posal of manure, garbage* sewage,
decaying grass clippings and other
vegetable matter, and use of fly
sprays and traps. Flies may travel
several miles, so a flyless commu
nity calls for neighborhood cooper
ation.

The Bushwhackers were too hot
for the Soumercos to handle in a
double-header on Thursday, taking
the first by a 3-2 score, and the
second by a 8 to 3 score. H. Ness
mith was probably responsible for
the first wrin with a circuit blow
with a mate aboard. Ruppy
Capps hit for the circuit with one
on in the second game. Chas.
Nessmith and Ralph Swaffer pitch
ed good ball for their teams, with
•‘Charlie” taking the edge in the
performance.

the high school teams are in for
a hot, tight race for this evening
at 6:30. Landrum has won five
and lost one to the High School’s
four wins to one away.
