The Vault
Slate has a history blog called the Vault. Here are a very cool group of WWI posters which have a lot to say about the rural character of US soldiers bitd.

Its interesting to me that a lot of rural volunteers today would not recognize those smells since they are probably more likely to have come from a rural trailer park than a functioning farm.

Flypaper? How many will know what the fuck it is, much less how it smells.
 Definitely out of date.

Sigh. I also must confess to being out of date. I definitely know what flypaper is and what it smells like.
Wait, do people really not know what flypaper is???

No one spends time in horse stables anymore? Or in farmhouses, or dairy barns (the old-fashioned type), or ...
damn. If this is out of date we're in trouble.

It's gross. Back before we had indoor plumbing at the family lake cottage, we had half a dozen rolls of fly paper hanging down from the rafters, and flyswatters everywhere. Tons of flies. I also remember at least a few times being really sick there when I was a lad. Now with a septic system, the flies have vanished.

You can still buy "fly paper"... Home Depot and other stores have it for about $2.50
