|Cotton Is Just s Fly Barrier, Entomologist Says

university said today that idea of putting cotton en screen doors to keep flies away is just a fad. He said he could find no basis for the use of cotton as a fly repellent. The whole idea of the cotton scarecrow started when Edward Bruck of Indianapolis passed through Connersville on a business trip. He noticed the wads of cotton on the doors and passed the information on to The Times, In Times Column On Aug. 4 the new fad was mentioned In the Inside Indianapolis column in The Times, Since then about every town in Indiana. has tried it out.

Doubt Method's Value
The chief, Dr. P, N. Annand, replied to Mr, Davis’ query: “We have heard of this method of repelling flies and. doubt its value, even though the pieces of cotton were treated with an effec tive insect repellent.” ; Stories of the cotton's magic charm are varied. Some say a G. I. brought home the idea from a foreign land, Another theory is that the white cotton reminds the housefly woe? ‘fully of a fungus disease they have learned to fvold. Still another notion is that the vagrant fly is duped into believing the white scarecrow is some kind of spider web.
