Usually flies are not sufficiently numerous to be aggravating until the latter part of the summer months. This year, however, their early ap pearance would indicate that the campaign of eradication should begin at once If southern Oregon folks are to enjoy the part'fl Immunity of flies, characteristic of this section. Immediate steps should be taken by everyone to get rid of the files before they have a chance to multi ply. During the cool mornings and evenings the files are more or less stupid, and with but a slight effort all may be killed before they have a chance to lay millions of eggs. With the many fly sprays and the equipment for applying them, a few cents and a little effort at this time will odd greatly to the comfort and convenience of everybody later In the season.
