dients that kill flies by contact. Many different 

 fypes of materials ond formulae were tested tn 

 Illinois dairy barns by cooperating farmers in our 

 search to determine the most effective killing 

 agencies and formulae. We have them now in 

 Blue Seal Fly Spray. 



IT REPELS. These barn tests prove also that Blue 

 Seal Fly Spray has powerful knock-down and 

 repellent property. By spraying the cows at night 

 ond in the morning a half hour before milking 

 time, its effectiveness will last through the day. 



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

 to animals and humans. Its highly refined petro- 

 leum oil base assures easy spraying, prevents dirt 

 collection, will not mat the hoir nor irritate the skin.
