Food Waste From Rata.

In all parts Of the country there 10
a serious economic drain In the de-
struction by rats and mice of mer-
chandise held for sale by dealers. Not
only foodstuffs and forage, but tex
tiles, clothing and leather goods are
often ruined. This loss Is due mainly
to the faulty buildings in which the
stores are kept. Often it would be a
measure Of economy to tear down the
old structures and replace them by
new ones. However, even the old
buildings may often be repaired 30 as
to make them practically rat-proof;
and foodstuffs. as -four, seeds, and
meats, may always be protected in
wire cages at slight expense. The
public should be protected from in
sanitary stores by a system of rigid
inspection.
Similar care should be exercised in
the home to protect household sup
plies from mice and rats. Little prog
ress in Kidding the premises Of these
animals can be made 30 long as they
have access to supplies Of food. Gel
lars. Kitchens and pantries often fur
nish subsistence not only to rats that
inhabit the dwelling. but to many that
come from outside. Food supplies
may always be kept from rats and
mice II placed in inexpensive rat-proof
containers covered with wire netting.
Sometimes all that IL needed to pre-
vent serious waste IL the application
Of concrete to holes In the basement
wall or the slight repair Of a defective
part Of the building.
The necessity Of cooperation and
organization in the work of rat de-
struction Is Of the utmost importance.
To destroy all the animals ON the
premises Of single farmer in a COM
munity has little permanent value,
since they are soon replaced from
nearby farms. II, however, the farm
ers Of an entire township or, county
unite in efforts to get rid Of rats, much
more lasting results may be attained
II continued from year to year, such
organized efforts are very effective.

A trip through the Nelson and Che

convince any one that the grain crop
is not going to be as short as was

fields are going to yield up to the

| better than half a crop. 1t is true
in some places the grain is nearly a
failure, and in others the grasshop-
pers have robbed the farmer of the
| fruits of his labor, but those fields are
exceptions to the rule. From pres
ent appearances the hill country is
going to put big tonnage of wheat
on the market this fall.

During a trip to the hill country

portunity to note what a farmer in
the high lands can accomplish who
has the energy and staying qualities.

four or five hundred acres a few miles
south of Chesaw. Mr.. Witfong has
been farming in that locality for many
years and has gradually accumulated
land by staying with it. He has
