PACKING FRUIT FOR MARKET

The Commercial grower knows that

Fruit coming from the Pacific coast
where. good packages and professional
packers arc appreciated, finds ready

have learned many . lesson In fruit

No Open House fe- Rats.

Do not keep "open house" for rats
by leaving basement doors ajar for
ventilation without proper safeguards.
The management Of q large depart
ment store In an eastern city recently
had 4 very expensive lesson in this
regard. Rats had been doing damage
to the extent of nearly 81 900 q month.
but by persistent trapping were finally
exterminated. The building was then
made "rat-pfoof." But after a time
rats were again at their work Of de-
structiCn.
Puzzled to know how the pests had
gained entrance, the management
learned that In summer the night
watchman was accustomed to leave a
basement door open for ventilation.
Naturally the rats entered and an
other campaign Of determination had
to be waged. This expense could cas-
lily have been prevented, says the bu-
reau Of biological survey Of the depart
ment of agriculture, II a piece of sheet
iron three feet high had been placed
across the doorway and the sides Of
the doorway sheeted with metal
or otherwise made smooth 80 that rats
could not gain a foothold. Rats can
not climb over such barriers, as they
do over mesh or crossed wires.
