THE DESTRUCTIVE RAT

Public health authorities estimate that the actual
loss caused by rats in the United States amounts to
$400O0O000 year of which about one-haf is in food
stus and the rest in the destruction of other prop
erty.
The number of rats engaged in these depreda-
lions is estimated at 120O000O0 about equal to
the countrys human population.
Besides the destructiveness of the rat is its
slant menace to health through the transmission of
disease, especially bubonic plague which is spread
entirely by winch Infest infected rats. While
the has been held in check in countries
ploying preventive measures, bubonic plague killed
more tnan IL 100000 people in India during a 20year
period.
The Public Health Service declares that if the
extraordinary prolific breeding of rats not par
TALLY controlled by natural enemies, disease and the
cannibaistic tendencies of the animal itself, they
would overrun the world and exterminate man
by depriving him of mis- sources of food.
Like many other ever-present menaces to prop
erty and health the rat appears TO be taken for
granted, and seldom is any concerted effort made
with a view to it's determination.
