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

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agriculture.)
Rats cause losses amounting 10 not
less than $200,000,O00 each year In the
United States. according to the biolog-
ical survey of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. This enOr-
nous damage occurs in homes, stores
and factories, and to a 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 a 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-breeding 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. Oranges 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 squilI has an advantage
in being relatively harmless to ami
mails other than rats. II taken acct
dentally by cats or dogs it acts as a
powerful emetic and is thus eiminat-
ed A small quantity of red squill
will kill 4 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 a buster or blow
er. When tie dust comes IN contact
with air it forms poisonous gas.
Calcium cyanide is deadly poison
and should be KEEP. out of reach of
children, irresponsible persons, and
live stock.

judging by the conduct of the steers

can tell red from green. or white from
blue. 1t is even possible that the ami.

Tests have shown that even when soy
