 ident in 1940, was local club leader for 

 seven years and leader for two years.

 merous awards.

 les Thompson, Minooka, Grundy county,

FLY SPRAY

ingre- 

 dients thai kill flies by contact. Many different 

 types of materials and formulae were tested in 

 Illinois dairy bams by cooperating farmers in our 

 search to determine the most effective killing 

 agencies and formulae. We hove titem now in 

 Blue Seal Fly Spray. 



IT REPELS. These bam tests prove also that Blue 

 Seal Fly Spray has powerful knock-down and 

 repellent property. By spraying tiie cows at night 

 and in the morning a half hour before milking 

 time, its effectiveness will last through the day. 



IT'S SAFE. Blue Seal kills flies, but it is harmless 

 to animals and humans. Its highly refined petro- 

 leum oil base assures easy spraying, prevents dirt 

 collection, will not mot the hair nor irritate the skin.
