and a general shortage of agri-
cultural labor, enhanced the nor
NAL seriousness of the problem,
which tends to recur in intervals
of about ten years.
AS a result all newspapers in
Israel are constantly warning
farmers not to neglect the
spreading on their fields of pois-
oned grain, although poison in
all forms has to be imported and
must be used in the most econ
omical manner possible. Ten re-
gional supervisors instruct far
mers and hand out poisons at the
expense of the Ministry of Agri-
culture, which also pays for some
hired labor spreading poison in
sparsely settled areas. Land
owners are responsible for COM
batting the pest on their land
and villagers are entitled to do
so on behalf, and at the expense
of, absentee land owners.
The standard poison-wheat
spreading gadget in the war
against mice was invented by an
American Chalutz living in a
settlement, who put the idea at
the disposal of all concerned
The mice (voles) can be COM
batted from the air in uninhabit-
ed areas in several places along
our borders, but the new spray
ing service unfortunately lost its
plane and an American pilot in
crash shortly after the opera
tons started.
