A report from Anderson, Indiana,
says: The eastern part of the county
has been overrun with rats during the
past six months. Thousands Of them
have colonized over radius OF six
or seven miles. The farmers have
been fighting them in every way pos
sible but they continue to multiply
and are taking everything in sight.
The stories of the numbers that go in
droyes have been discredited by An
derson and Muncie people and, in or
der to prove their assertions, the
farmers took several out to one OF
their "rat drives recently. One OF
the records that was made was TWEEN
ty-four rats by Superintendent Heaggy
of the poor farm, who only discharged
his gun four times. Several other
records have been made at other times,
They are costing the farmers many
hundred dollars by underminglnA
wheat bins and burrowing into build
ings of all kinds. No theory has been
advanced which will satisfactorily ex-
plain where they came from, as thin

rats in previous years.
