Time to Destroy Muskrats which are
Great Pests to Rice Planters.

To the editor of the Rice Belt Journal:
Wish to call the attention OF every
rice farmer and canal owner in the
rice belt, to the fact that now is the
best time to DESTROY the muSkratS. The
grass being dead, the holes can easily
be found, and the skins will sell, | am
told, for about fifteen cents each.
The pest is becoming very numerous
and are doing great deal of damage
to the levees and canals, which no
d ,nbt most Of you discovered last
wear. When we started pumping it
was over two weeks before we could
run right along, on account of leak
inc, perforated leyees, made so by
the muskrats. This meant a loss OF
time, a loss Of water and a great deal
of hard work. This, | think, is the
fruit of the bad judgment Of some peo-
pie who killed all the alligat0rs, which
are sworn enemies of the muskra!S.
If you want to know how fast thew
multiply, just figure the old problem
of the horseshoe nail and then YOU
will see the necessity for killing them,
or making new levees every year.
