Fly trouble in bonfires
A half-burned bonfire, which leaves partly-cooked material to rot, is a potential breeding place for flies, along with fly-blown grass heaps, garbage and incinerator drums and badly-tended fowl runs, says the president of the Clean Air Society (Mr P. V. Neary) in a statement. Even the simplest of compost heaps, turned over regularly or whenever a strong odour is noticed, would not breed many flies, he says. . The society was unable to issue its free pamphlets on composting this year. The Soil Association publishes a pamphlet, “How to Make and Use Compost,” Mr Neary says.
Wadding.—The All Black, G. S. Thorne, confirmed yesterday that he will marry a Johannesburg girl, Miss Jenny-Lynn Busby, today.
