ON CONTROLLING RATS

Clemson College, Jan. 1O.-In the
control of rats, the most injurious
anima lof the American farm and
home, there are two conditions that
must be observed: first, we must stop
feeding them and providing hiding
places for them; secondly, what
ever method Of control we under
take must be put into operation over
the entire premises at the same
time. Rats "get wise," and if we
begin method at one place with a
view of continuing it from place to
place as time goes on, we will never
control rats.
We build seed houses, barns and
other structures in which rats find
accommodations, without thought
of rat -proofing. Around the home
we store up boxes, cans, and other
materials, furnishing excellent hiding
places. Our feed for the livestock,
including poultry, is kept in sacks or
boxes that have no rat protection.
We allow the space between the
ground and floors of buildings to be-
come packed with chaff, refuse feed,
cotton seed and seed cotton, etc. And
yet we blame the rat for being a
constant visitor.
Whatever method Of control be
adopted, whether it be trapping or
poisoning, it should be undertaken
intelligently after careful plan has

tion. The native grasses, however,
will not stand close grazing and
carry sufficient number Of cattle to
enable the industry to develop as it
should. We have undertaken, there
fore, to determine the best grasses
and pasture plants to use and the
best methods of developing perma-
nent pastures in this section.
The three hundred ccres Of land
purchased for this work last year
have been fenced and subdivided into
twenty-five acre and fifty acre pas
lures Tor these experiments. Fifty
acres were sown to carpet grass and
lespcdeza. Where the land was
burned over before seeding and the
pasture grazed closely and the seed
sown broadcast, satisfactory stands
seem to be developing.
Tests Of methods of seeding car
pet grass and lespedeza were begun
on fifteen acres. The stumps were
removed from this area so that parts
OF it could be plowed and the OBJ
Jectionablc weeds that develop on it
could cut with mower. The fol-
lowing five methods of seeding ar.
being used i npreparation of the land
for the seed: burning over, blowing,
disking, cutting over, and no treat
mcnt. On the areas which are
dIsked and plowcd, Il seems that we
have secured Il better stand of grass
and clover. 1t may be, however, that
this is only apparent and that we are
able to see the new grass better on
the land on which the sedgcs have
been partly killed out by cultivation.
In other tests several seeding mix
lures were tried on land that had
been plowed and diskcd These tests
have not been completed at the pres
cnt time. In still other tests with
carpet grass and lespedeza seeded on
plowed land, lime and fertilizer were
applied before planting. 1t appears
that we have secured much better
stands and certainly better growth
where some fertilizer was applied
before planting. The fertilizer used
in this work was nitrate of soda and
acid phosphat, different rates of ap-
plication being made. In some of the
plots of this series we have secured
very satisfactory stand Of lespedeza
and carpet grass.

Mr.. Frear Of Wisconsin is Re-
publican Congressman; on page 832
of the Congressional Record, Jan. 3,
he said. Congress is repeatedly
charged with unsoaking the rich while
preparing to skin those least able to
pay. Is that charge true? * In
this session Of Congress it is propos-
ed to pass consumption or sales tax
that will lay n new tax burden and
increased prices on necessaries of
life consumed by four to five millions
of idle laborers and their families, on
millions of farmers and other labor
ers and their families who are now
fighting for bare existence, and on
over three millions of ex-soldiers and
their families, who are told the price
of any compensation bill is con-
sumption tax" And yet the Con-
gress has send 20 millions to Russia
to feed people no more starving than
millions here in the United States.

been made covering the promises, adj
vises Prof. A. f. Conradi, entomol-
ogist. On the farm one or two rat
terriers or several good cats are
among the most effective methods
of rat control. Cats are useful in
rat control about city and village
premises. 1t is true that mnay cats
are runious to birds, and when cat
has formed the bird killing habit it
should be destroyed and replaced by
q better one.
In some sections systematic rat
campaigns have produced splendid
results, and similar campaigns should
be of the greatest benefit in all sec
tions of our State.

the price of cotton the past year and
the invasion of the boil weevil," said
Mr.. Scarborough. "It takes time
like this to find who are real men and
who are not. The real men does not
not give up but fights for the better
day which must come. We need more
of the spirit of "carry on" which our
people displayed during the war. AL
SO we should think Of the gloomy
days of te sixties and remember
what our fathers and grandfathers
and mothers and grandmothers lived
through. They did not give up.
II am glad to say that there are
not many of those people who would
give up in this state but there should
be none. We are going to come out
OF this situation all right The boil
.weevil has hit us hard this year but
other states have survived his raw
ages and we can do it in South Caro-
lima.
"Personally I believe the organiza-
ton of the South Carolina Cotton
Growers Cooperative Association
the greatest forward step that the
farmers of the state have ever taken.
The successful formation of this as
sociation will, believe, open the
doors of opportunity to the growers of
the state.
ut will give them opportunity to
free themselves from the shacklcs of
poverty and debt, and privation put
upon them by an outlaw marketing
system.
"It will give them opportunity to
break the bonds of enforced obedien-
ce to the demands of perpetual credi-
tors who own them body and soul
even to the very clothes they wear
and the food they eat.
ut will give them opportunity to
take their little children out of the
cotton fields, away from the back
breaking toll of other years and
place them where they have every
right to be-in school and colleges
that they may be moulded into cap
able, intelligent men and women.
"1t will give them opportunity to
give their wives and children a home
fitted as every American home should
be with modern conveniences; good
clothes to wear and wholesome food
to eat. 1t will give them opportunity
to step out of the poverty of the past
into the prosperity which is sure to
result in the future from stabilized
cotton market and elimination of
waste and speculation between farm
and mill.
"That the plan upon which the
South Carolina Cotton Growers Co.
operative Association is being formed
and will operate is sound has been
proved repeatedly in actual practice.
The Association is making it possible
for every farmer in the state to be-
come member on terms that all can
meet. Are they going to turn their
backs on this opportunity to go with
their brother farmers who have al
ready banded themselves together
for their mutual profit, or are they
going to join the association saying
We're with you, boys, let's all pull
together for prosperity"

of which Secretary Mellon is d Direc-
tori This doesn't seem to have hurt
the gentle Secretary greatly with the
Administration, for he is still handling
the. peoples money and has been of
great aid to the big rich fellows in
getting them "unsoaked" in the mat
ter of income and excess profits taxes.
but it suggests that Republican edi-
tors might find it less embarrassing
at times to be better informed.
Secretary Mellon is not very we'll
known to the general public, a fact
due largely to his peculiar reticence.
With him secrec yis foible. He is
connected in a large way with some
of the worst predatory corporations
in America, such as the Aluminium
Company of America, one Of the
greediest of the monopolies, but it is
practically impossible, after search
ling through all sorts of manuals, to
learn anything worth while of these
companies, their income or their pro-
fits; they are all we'll concealed So
it was in the days Of John Barley
corn, when Mellon was making huge
fortune out of whiskey and beer. Few
are aware that the Mellon family
wealth RIVALS that of the Rockefellers.
In fact, it is believed that the family
controls about two billions of capital
twice the amount of the national
debt at the beginning of the war
and also controlled the Republican
machine of Pennsylvania through the
late Senator Penrose. Secretary Mel
lon is an officer and director in
banks and insurance companies with
resources of $860,193,541. He is an
officer and director of other compan-
les having known assets Of $753,4s0,-
923. He is head of family having
controlling voice in banks with re-
sources of $18,845,310 more, ,and cor
porations with assest of $1O6,7O2,265
additional, making grand total Of
$1,739,2 ,222039. 1t is small wonder
that he is satisfactory to the big in
forests.
Mr.. Tincher Of Kansas, in the exu-
herance of his soul, cried out in the
House for tariff tax of one thou
sand per cent on importations from
Germany. Mr.. Mann Of Illinois, who
tries to keep his feet on the ground,
said in reply: "Let there be a few
more statements. on this side of the
House that the Republicans are in
favor of tariff DUTY of one thousand
