John w. Lee, who lives at the
Coleman Mill place, Seneca r. +. D.,
tells us the champion rat story Of
the season for this section Last
Thursday he and others about the
place began the moving of q guam
tity Of corn that had been housed in
the fall. and in moving it they dis
covered that the pile was alive with
rats. Chinking up every place they
could see through viii eh rat could
escape, they turned their corn-mov-
ing operations into a rat-killing ex-
petition. and when the war was
over" they had two hundred and
eleven dead rats to their credit with
nary a fatality" chalked up from
the ranks Of the attackers. Mr.. Lee
says that a conservative estimate Of
the corn destroyed by the rats is
fifteen ushels-thirty dollars in its
commercial value. And this sort Of
thing has been going on for years,
entailing enough loss each year to
cover the cost Of rat-proofing corn
crib. The loss from destruction by
rats in Oconee, If it could be fully
tabulated, would show such large fig
ures that we would get busy and do
what ought to have been done long
ago-build ratproof cribs. Figure
on your own losses from rats and see
If 1t wouldn't be better to spend
little money this fall for rat-proofing
than to continue feeding rats. You
know rat won't stay where he is
not regularly and we'll fed.
