Show COUNTY AGENTS NOTES I don't know of anything that has been more annoying the past week than those pesky house flies. They seem to bo everywhere, especially on the food. If every family In the county would kill a bushel of flics this week our problem would be solved for a while. How can you kill a bushel of flies? Here is one method which works real well. Find a few gallon cans with tho bottom in. Purchase a can of sugar bait. Diptrex has worked very well in our area. Find a spot where the flies are thick. This is usually near your garbage can and pig pen. Pick a spot where it is in tho sun most of the day. Tip the cans bottom up so you have a flat surface. Pour on a little water and then sprinkle on a good covering of that sugar bait. Put one inside the garbage can also. Brush the flies off each day and replenish the bait. The results are astounding. Just a little reminder on the survey sheets we sent out a couple of weeks ago. I would sure appreciate getting a few more back as soon as possible. Thanks to those who were so prompt in returning yours. You who have' not filed for your State and Federal gasoline refund should do immediately. You hav until September 30 to do this. Those who did not file last year may get blanks at our office. By taking advantage of this refund you can reduce your fuel bill by 15 to 20 percent. |
