The boys and girls in these districts will be given 50 per rat tail, and in addition a 350, prize for the one collecting the .largest number of tails by September 22nd, Everyone he the community Is asked le give every assistance to the boys emit girls. Rate mnintoin their numbers against great odds, for they reproduce with .alarming rapidity where abundant food, water and good shelter are provided. They frequently have. from 10 to 12 littera a year. An average litter is 10 young, and may number es high as 20. The rat is so canning that several methods of trapping or poisoning have to be used. We will endeavour to discuss some of the methods most successfully used. Take the experience of B111 Patience of. Massachusetts for example. One morning Bill: opened his barn door to find 350 dead rats strewn about on the floor. This is not an everyday oeomrence, nor was it an accident. Bill had planned carefully 'for that kill. For two whole weeks 1,e had fed them each night with tempting pans brimful of milk, fresh and warm from milking, set them right out on the barn floor. The suspicious ruts refused to drink until the fourth night. In a week they were clearing up nonny n gallon and a half, Tho fourteenth night they consumed two and one half gallons of milk. The fif- teenth igteenth night they came as usual Thls time strychnine had been added to the milk and that Is how Bin came to pick up 360 fifth columnists with one trick. Give Them Plenty of What They Want Bill had learned the most Important single feature to assure a successful -.kill of rats by Poison. Find out what they want, then give them plenty of it to make certain every rat on the premises partaken of the feast.

Each morning pie up the old baits, destroy and replace with new ones in exactly the same locations that evening. In puler to protect chickens and other animals from poisoned baits, place under boxes or behind boards leaned length- wise against the wall.. Eliminate All Other Food On uny premises where poisoning is to be done, all food sources should be covered or placed where the rats cannotget at them. You want the pests to eat only the prebait you put out each night and be so hungry that they dive right into the poisoned food when You anally expose that. For this reason, 'one of the hardest places to poison rats is In the granary. Other controls may have to be used there. Manufacturers of the more reliable rat poisons have studied carefully bestmethods of applying their products, and the directions should be followed. Few of them recommend prebsuting as this suggestion might make the product seem difficult to use. However, pre - baiting is worthwhile as Bill Patience dis- covered, Visiting rats before they become familiar with aitd established on the prbmteos, may be caught by the use of traps. Use plenty of traps, the common woodenbase snap trap is good, Get a dozen or so, age them, then cut a small corrugated cardboard about two inches on a side, force tine metal trigger of the trip between the layers of cardboard to make a higgee trigger. Now, set the. trap. carefully, place it against the wail at right angles with the trigger and touching the wall. Now move up that old box and place It about .two inches from the same wall and touching the trap. See what you have? A runway for the un- suspecting rat -wMcle comes sneaking along the wall. The .piece of cardboard looks harm- less and doesn'tsmell of food, so he stens on it—for the last time, No, you don't putbait on the trigger. One clever trap trick is to half fill a steel drum with mash or grain and let the rats feed to it for II week or so. Then some even- ing, dump the groin out,-repince with water and sprinkle n little of tate feed carefully on the water surface.

Commercial Gas Products using chemicals such as cyanide ala also very effective. One enterprising poultryman whom we heard of,rigged a heavy block of wood hinged to the floor over a -rat ]tole,so that pulling a long .string, the block dropped and prevented the escape of the rats from one of his poultry pens. He claimed he actually killed' R5 rats' in one evening. He'd closed several other holes the rats used and let them get .accustomed to using the one hole. The rest wee simple and very effective, That's called blocking. Just pull the' string and start killing. 011,. you'd better tie your pant lege before trying this!
