Evening Republican, Volume 15, Number 233, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 3 October 1911 — Killing One Fly. [ARTICLE]

Killing One Fly.

! Every fly begins as an egg deposited In some kind of organic filth. It hatches into a tiny maggot within a few hours, begins to feed and grow, completes its growth and comes out as a perfect fly in possibly ten days. It then requires at least fourteen days to mature its first batch of eggs, and it may live to mature and deposit at least six layings, of from 120 to 150 eggs each. This means that in killing one fly we may be preventing the hatching of nearly a thousand others.—Youth’s Companion.
