AUSTIN, Tex. June 13.-Never be-
fore in Texas have the farms and
ranches been so overrun with rats
and mice. 1t is estimated that hun
dreds OF thousands of dollars worth
of grain have been destroyed by
them. The field rats began appear
ing by myriads more than a year ago.
and they have been constantly in
creasing in numbers ever since.
Rats and mice have invaded the
homes and premises of townspeople
too. The plains region of west Texas
is dotted with nests of the big field
rats; in south Texas the wood rats
have almost obliterated the ever
present cactus or prickly pear plants
by burrowing under the roots, caus-
ing the plants to die.
