At a full Directors' meeting held op, Saturday' evening, the society in- augurated a rat killitJg •campaign, op- en to boys and girls in Seaforth, Tuckersihith, McKillop and Hullett. ' Five cents will be paid for every rat tail, and in addition a ; $50.00. prize will be given, the person eel - looting the largest number of tails before September 22nd. Always plentiful, rats have become so prevalent and destructive in recent montha and years that the situation in many parts of the country, and even in , towns- "has become so serious that some drastic action will have to be taken in the im- mediate future. -Farmers usually take rats about their places as a part of a farmer's' lot andaccept the damage they de in eating poultry ' and ° eggs or spoiling livestock feed. , Now, however, farmers are begin- ning to take notice. Possibly the rats are not much worse than usual in some places, but food, . especially livestock food, is getting;. more ex; pensive all the , tipne, and an average rat eats or `destroys $45 worth of food a year. One rat will consume 100 pounds of chicken feed a year t which is as mach as a chicken eats. No holds will be barred in this rat catupaign. Kids can poison them, thap them,' hunt them down with dogs or cats, or club them; and when they get them ,their •tails can be 'easily and eanitarily kept if packed in salt until 1 u thefinal co t. o tin. for the5 0.00 -te4trf revery, .kid $ ,poJll-beM a=•�winher,: rdless etre ne npatn• prize, :beccauee �is v'ffl b '•paiidefarea ' tat - tail co ented, -The. following letters have been re- ceived by the Seaforth Overseas' Com- mittee: "How is everything on the Main Street of Seaforth'' Spring is well under way I imagine, and tennis, golf, etc.,. the order, of the day-: Thanks .first of all to you and the committee for a really grand box of chocolates, They arrived a week or so ago, . and •certainly fill a vacancy over here.
