WILL SWAT THE RAT.
Rodents Receiving Marked Attention
From the Government

Washington, May 29.-Rats are re-
ceiving continued attention from the
agricultural department; the campaign
started against them may result some
day in the determination of the pest in
this country.
A recent bulletin issued by the agri-
cultural department has it figured out
that a single rat can eat sixty cents
worth of grain a year and that If all
the rats in the country were fed on
grain alone it would cost more than
100000 a year to board them.
Tt has been estimated that a single
pair of rats and thier progeny breeding
without interruption and suffering no
losses would in three years increase to
more than twenty millions. While
praising the persistent use of traps and
poisons, the experts think the most
promising lines of determination effort
lie in rat proof construction of build
ings, especially the use of concrete in
foundations and in reducing the food
supply of rats by the disposal of gar
bage and the protection of food sup
plies,
