Rats Cost Farmers Money
And Trouble

Rats real racketeers on farms, in the opinion
of T. H. Parks, extension specialist, Ohio State
University, who says these rodents cost the aver
age farmer $40 annually in damage done besides
being carrier of diseases.
1t is almost impossible for farmers to use the
best method of riddng premises of rats which is
to prevent the rats from gaining access to food.
Since this is impractical on most farms, some way
of killing the rats must be used to keep their
numbers within bounds
Poison bats are the most practical method of
wholesale destruction Red squill which kills rats
but does not affect other animals is difficult to OBJ
tain Arsenic and phosphorus deadly to
rats but they just deadly to any other ami
mails which eat these bats containing the poisons.
Traps can be used to catch the few rats that
escape poison bait campaign if the farmer
members the rats habits. The rodents seldom
travel in the open if this can be avoided so traps
should be set walls, preferably in runway
between some object and wall Several traps
should be used and their location shifted fire.
quently.
Cyanide gas or the exhaust from automobile
will kill rats in burrows under concrete floors
in other locations where the gases be confined
to the holes Both these gases poisonous and
should not be used where they will escape into
places occupied by domestic animals or human
beings.
Community campaigns to rid premises of rats
most effective because the rodents travel from
farm to farm Poison bats can be prepared cheap
er per unit in large quantities than in smaller
amounts. County agricultural agents will give
directions on mixing and of several types of
poison bats

Storage Pits Keep Vegetables
Safely

Most Ohio vegetables be held over winter in
good condition by placing them in pits outdoors
j. ii. Boyd, specialist in vegetable gardening, Ohio
State University says drainage and protection
against freezing are the important factors in this
storage method.
Pits should be six to eight inches deep in soil
that is sandy enough to drain naturally or that
has adequate drainage provided. The pit is filled
with straw hay, dried leaves and the vegetables
are placed this material
The pile of vegetables should not be more than
four feet deep, and varieties which must be kept
clean can be covered with burlap, carpeting, or
heavy paper. Six or eight inches of the same ma
terial used to line the pit should be placed over
the vegetables
layer of soil thick enough to shed water then
should be added. Ventilation can be provided by
placing a perforated wooden fue in the pit and
extending through the covering of SOIL
When the temperature of the vegetables in the
pit drops to around 35 degrees, soil should be
used to make the one foot thick. Another
layer of straw and more soil placed on the pit
after the first soil layer has frozen.
Vegetables be placed in boxes in the pit so
that supply be removed when needed with
out disturbing the rest of the pit Apples keep
well in pits but should not be stored with vege-
tables because apples readily absorb odors.
