PRE- THANKSGIVING
 DINNER FOR RATS
Campaign to Clean up County Starts
 November 21 to Save Waste

On Friday. November 2lst, com- munity campaign against the de- structive rats all over Windham County will be conducted by the Windham County Farmers associa- tion.
 Since rats are very migratory, everyone must work together. No real progress is made when destruc- ton is left to the individual for re- infestation Is continuous. Thus the campaign will be countrywide.
 The rat Is the most destructive mammalian pest known to man. They have no place in Windham County. On many a farm, if the grain, eaten and wasted could be used. it's value would be more than the farmers E taxes. If everyone harboring rats ! in Windham County will cooperate 1, in the campaign on November Fist the untold damage by rats will soon end.
 The "big feedr will be prepared under the supervision of the Chef. Ernest Nj. Mills of the II. S. Rio logical Survey. Three kinds of temp ting baits will be used with a new FbfrbH Itu HHufhtf AANtas thtH poison is specifically for rats and mice but has not been known to kill humans. dogs. cats. poultry. or other domestic animals.
 Each complete package of bait will be sufficient for the average set of buildings The bait is easy to use being distributed in small pieces about the infested places. This new rat poison will be mixed with three kinds of bait and distributed at ac- tual cost of ingredients. fifty cents, from every town in the county.
 Orders must be placed in advance and package. enough for the av- craze farm. can be reserved by writing the Windham County Farm CTS association, at Putnam.
 Make the campaign a l00% clean upi
