RATS BY MILLIONS

The U. S. Department of Agricul-
tural has recently issued bulletin on
House Rats and Mice" The brown
rat, which was brought to America
just before the Revolution, is the most
destructive and most prolific. 1t
breeds six or more times year and
ter. Females breed when only three
or four months old. Thus a pair,
breeding un-interruptedly and with
out deaths. could in three years lS
generations) produce posterity of
359, ,709,4S0 individuals
Rats and mice are practically omni-
verous, feeding upon all kinds of ami
NAL and vegetable matter. The brown
rat makes its home in the open field,
the hedge row and the river bank, as
we'll as in stone walls, piers and all
kinds of buildings. 1t destroys grains
when newly planted, while growing,
and in the shock, stack, NOW, crib,
granary. mill, elevator, or ships hold,
and also in the bin feed trough. 1t
invades store and warehouse and de-
stroys furs, laces, silks, carpets, leath-
er goods and groceries. 1t attacks
fruits vegetables, and meats in the
markets, and destroys by pollution
ten times as much as it actually eats.
1t destroys eggs and young poultry,
and eats the eggs and young of song
and game birds. 1t carrys disease
germs from house to house and bu-
bonic plague from city to city. 1t
causes disastrous conflagrations
floods house by gnawing lead water
pips; ruins artificial ponds and em-
bankments by burrowing and dam
ages foundations, floors, doors and
furnishings of dwellings,"
Extensive experiments are being un-
dertaken in Colorado in trapping and
poisoning of predatory animals. If
the Anti -Vivisection Bill, No. 5. should
pass at the November elections, all
these experiments would cease, accord,

MOST POPULAR CROP IN
COLORADO IS CORN

Com still is the most popular crop
in Colorado, more farmers raising
corn ,nan any other single crop
grown in the state. Reports OF coun-
" assessors 10 the state immigration
department show 2s,2l3 farmers
growing corn, compared with 2o,O9l
last year.
Wheat ranks second in popularity,
there being 26,275 farmers reported as
growing the crop. The number grow
ing winter wheat WAS 1902, while
l4.9ll reported spring wheat. Since
a good many farmers grow both WIN
ter and spring wheat, the total num-
Der growing wheat is considerably
less than the sum Of those reporting
winter and spring wheat.
Wheat Acreage Larger
While more farmers raise corn than
any other crop, the total acreage de-
voted to wheat is much larger than
tina: devoted to corn, being 27.l6 per
cent of the total acreage under culti-
vation. Assessors this year reported
,9Sl $50 acres of wheat, of which l.
i29, 1927 acres spring wheat. The
acreage of corn reported is 1,lOO,-
97S. These are the largest acreages
ever reported for these crops.
Alfalfa ranks next TO corn in popu-
larity, being reported on 20 $50 farms
this year. compared with p ,0s7 farms
last year. The census bureau report
ed alfalfa on 24,s70 farms In the state
in 1919, so il is evident that there has
been some decrease in the number OF
farms growing alfalfa, due probably
TO extremely low prices that have pre-
vailed for hay in the past two years.
Alfalfa Acreage Grows
The decreace. however. is not SO
large as the figures indicate as re-
ports from corn counties this year
were not so complete as were the
census reports. The acreage of al
1alfa reported this year is slightly
larger than that for last year. tho
considerably below the average re-
ported by the census bureau for 1919.
More farmers reported potatoes IN
Colorado this year than any previous
year, the number being lS, So, COM
pared with 1903 reported by the
census bureau for 1919. The increase
IS larger than the figures here given
Indicate, as few counties where po-
tatoes are grown extensively did not
report fully this year. The acreage
of potatoes grown in Colorado this
year was the largest on record, as
SCISSORS having reported 142, II acres
cmpared with l0l,l59 acres reported
