Another round Of conferences with
farm leaders today closes Herbert
Hoover's three-day visit to the great
mid-western grain country.
Aided by his personal contact with
men who profess to interpret the
viewpoint Of the grain growers, the
Republican presidential candidate
leaves late today for Washington
There on Saturday in newly estab-
lished headquarters he will take per-
sonal charge Of his campaign.
Both in his public and private
talks here Hoover has emphasized
his belief that in seeking to relieve
the agricultural industry, each Of
the dozen or more component parts
must be tried separately. He has
likewise stated his own purpose to
have the federal farm board he has
proposed, approach the problem
from that basis.
Hoover has reiterated his state.
ment in his notification speech that
the board should have power to deal
with all phases in the situation, pres
ent and future, and that it also
should have such detailed informa-
ton as could be obtained only in
frequent conferences with leaders in
each industry.
Between the time Of exchanging
views with farm leaders, the Repub-
lican candidate has received varied
reports a. to the outlook in the sew.
eral grain growing states. He has
been heartened by information from
Kansas and Iowa, but . note Of
pessimism has run through that
from the northwestern states. Pro-
ducers in that section who just now
are beginning to market their wheat
crop, are faced with sharply declin.
ing prices and political leaders say
this unquestionably has had an ef-
feet. However, they have expressed
to the nominee their belief that
these states will be found in the Re-
publican column in November.

How to Control
Rats Is Problem
Temporary Measures Include
Use of Poisons, Traps
and Gases.

prepared by the United states Department
of Agriculture.l
Rats cause losses amounting to not
less than S2O0,OOO.O0O each year in the
United States, according to the biolog-
ical survey of the United States De-
partmentl of Agriculture. This en0r-
nous damage occurs in homes, stores
and factories. and to large extent
on farms
= Temporary Measures.
Temporary measures of rat control
include the use of poisons, traps and
deadly gases. These devices merely
eliminate the animals for short time
and do not in any way prevent others
from reinfesting premises. Neverthe
less, temporary measures are the first
consideration in dealing with the rat
problem. Permanent control consists
primarily in depriving rats of one or
both their necessities of life-fOOd and
shelter. Attention to such community
rat-breediRg places as garbage dumps
and city abattoirs will keep down the
rat population. Every community in
terested in preventing disease epidem-
les that may possibly be spread by
rats should make it point to pro-
vide for proper maintenance of dumps
and similar places for garbage and
refuse disposal. Changes in the con-
struction of buildings can be effected
to make them rat proof, and build
ing codes of cities and towns can re-
quire rat-proof construction.
Effective Poisons.
Barium carbonate and red squill are
effective poisons for the temporary
eradication OF rats. Barium carbonate
has neither taste nor odor 1t is
mixed with various foods and, if pre-
pared as recommended, is usually eff
fective. Red squill has an advantage
in being relatively harmless to ami
mails other than rats. If taken acct,
dentally BY cats or dogs it acts as a
powerful emetic and is thus eliminat-
ed. A small quantity Of red squill
will kill = rat, however, and it, is
therefore an ideal poison for use on
farms and in many places in towns
or cities where there may be dam
ger of poisoning beneficial animals.
Calcium-cyanide fumigant has been
widely and effectively used to kill rats
that live in burrows in the ground.
under concrete, or in other inacces-
sible places. 1t comes in powder form
and is applied with buster or blow
er. When tie dust comes IN contact
with air it forms poisonous gas.
Calcium cyanide is a deadly poison
and should be KEEP. out of reach of
children, irresponsible persons, and
live stock.

Feeding Milk to Laying
Stock Increases Yield

Liberal feeding of milk to laying
stock will help to increase the egg
yield and improve the quality and
size of the eggs. Fertility and hatch
ability of the eggs will likewise be
improved.
Milk feeding helps to keep fowls
healthy and to prevent disease In
1904-05 DR.. Louis Dechmann demon
strated that the mineral content of
eggs could be increased, and made
more desirable from a medical view
point by feeding the desired minerals
in finely triturated form, mixed with
milk curd, to the laying fowls. w.
McA. johnson, chemist and metallur-
gist, has also pointed out that the rare
mineral content of eggs may be en-
HANGED by feeding the fowls finely
powdered minerals rubbed up in warm
fresh milk and in milk curd. Also,
he states, as Doctor Dechmann
claimed, that ''medicated eggs" are
possible and that we may expect them
soon.
In experimental work in feeding
minerals to growing chicks. milk,
milk cufd, and milk powder have
proved the best mediums for feeding
the powdered minerals. So milk and
milk products not only help keep poul-
try healthy and productive, but may
be the means of introducing medicinal
elements into eggs which, in very
agreeable manner of administration,
may help to prevent or cure disease,
and keep human beings in good health.
