I was just asking mr. google about this. IIRC a member here said years ago it was to try to prevent Spanish flu? But mr. google is showing me results from 1912 and also 1918 from community bulletins. The bulletins mention all the methods to eradicate flies, even prosecuting horse owners who didn't improve their manure deposing methods, but they don't mention WHY!
