MANY PROTECT
MEATS FROM .
SKIPPER FLIES
Raleigh, Jan. 23. —Much meat on
the farm is subject to the attacks of
the ham skipper which is a small fly
resembling a winged ant. Maggots
from eggs laid by this fly (Bay cause
considerable damage and it is a wise
plan to wrap the meat or screen
the smokehouse so that the fly cannot
enter.
This skipper smaller than
the common house fly. The maggot *
produced from these flies attack most
ly the pork hams and shoulders which
have been cured or smoked. Th«
fresher the meat, the more rapid the
injury. Old pieces of meat which
have hard and dry -and which
are sometimes covered with a coating
of blue mold or a salvelike layer of
fat ,secm to be immune from attack.
Very fat meat, like bacon, is not ex
tensively injured. The insect apparent
ly prefers lean meat.
, The best control method is to pre
vent the adult flies from entering the
storage room. This can be done by
screening with a 3l>-mcsh wire cloth
and by 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
festation, is to wrap each piece of
meat with paper and then enclose
it in a tight sack. If the screen mesh
C wire is used, wrapping is not needed.
Meats stored in a well screened
smokehouse should need no further
protection. Where infested meat can
not be re-conditioned by trimming, the
meat should be destroyed. Hones
should not be allowed near the meat
as the skippers breed within: these
old bones.
There is an excellent market for
well-cured hams ami such meat is too
valuable to permit it to be ruined by
the attacks of these flies.

Measles Cases Total
3,443 for Past Week
L) •«
* lialeigh, Jan. 24Again the week's
, total of measles in North Carolina ran
above 3;l)00, it was learned from the
Buerau of Epidemiology of the State
Hoard of Health yesterday. The total
for the week just passed fti»s 3,443, as
compared to 3,689 for the week be
fore and over 6,000 for the week -be
fore that.
Since November there has been a
definite epidemic of measles all over
North Carolina, said Dr. Charles O'H.
Laughinghouse, State health officer,
but medical science is yet to learn
an adequate means of coping with this
disease. Dr. Laughinghouse also said
that measles was a much more serious
disease than ;fs generally believed.
The death rate among children is'
high and after effects are severe.
There, were over 32,000 cases of
measles in North Carolina last, year,
the greatest total s nee the epidemic
of 1924 when there were over 34,000
cases.
State Ne&t to Last in
Per Capita Tax in 1926
Raleigh, Jan. 22.—With but one ex
ception, North Carolina in 1926 had
the. lowest per capita cost of mainte
nance of State government of any ol
the forty-eight. This fact is pointed
out in the analysis of State taxes and
debts made by the Division of Com
merce and Industry of the Depart
ment of Conservation und Develop
- ment, which is expected to be avail
able for distribution at an early date
"North Carolina," says the an
alysis, "in 1926 paid only $5.76 pei
inhabitant toward the maintenance
of the State government, excfusivi
of capital outlay and interest charges
according to the Federal Departmen
of Commerce. Only one State, Ala
bama, paid less, $5.66, and the othei
40 States paid more.

CONCRETE ON THE FARM
Here is a simple method of testing
J sand to find out whether it has too
' much clay with it to make a desirable
( concrete. I'ut 4 inches of the uand
! into a pint preserving jar. Fill the jar
1 with clear water to within an inch
of the top. Fasten the ltd. Shake the
jar thoroughly until the whole is well
mixed. Set the jar aside and allow the
contents to settle. The sand will go
to the bottom. The clay and loam will
form a layer pit top of the sand. If
more than three-eights of an inch of
clay or loam shows, the sand is not
clean enough for making concrete.
Either a new source of sand must be
found or the sand must be washed
to rid it of the surplus of clay and ,
loam.

Attention to Tires
Means Much Saving
Many motorists now realize that
just putting,a tire on a car and not
j paying any further attention to it is
j much the same as operating an auto
without a thought for grease or oil
j until serious trouble develops,
j According to J I). Woolard, of the
; Williamston Motor Co., Firestone deal
ers in Williamston. the way, to get the
j most mileage mid best service from I
tires is to haVe them looked over rcg-1
ularly and frequently.
Like the old .adage about a stitch in j
time, a little care will often prevent!
serious loss of tire mileage.
The tresis should be inspected for
cuts and bruises, and any small re
pairs needed should be made iinmedi-1
atcly."
I.t is important to have the wheels
aligned and the proper air pressure
j maintained, if the motorist is to get
all the service he is entitled to from
his tires. t '.s
\lways use valve caps. Screw each
our dowji tightly by hand. This wilt
prevent ari leakage and underinflation
difficulties. '■
