appropriately, a look inside The L,
ID. Caulk Company of this city is

Rats On Poultry
Farms Cost Money

With the low price of broiIers
and eggs prevailing at the present
time, and with farmers doing all
they can to cut costs of produc-
ton, no time could be more appro-a
pirate than now to make a drive
on rats around the poultry farm.
Rats do considerable damage on
the poultry farm and cost poultry
men the county over, many mill
lions of dollars each year.
Every poultryman is urged to
join in the Statewide Rat Cam
paign to rid their farms of rats,
says Ray Lloyd, Asst. County Ag-
ent This campaign runs during
the month of November with
farmers putting poison during
Thanksgiving Week.
Many losses occur on the poul-
try farm due to rats, says Mr..
Lloyd They eat and destroy tons
of feed. Three rats in a year eat
and destroy the amount of feed
that four broilers or two hens will
eat Would you rather keep three
rats or four broilers or two hens2
When the feed efficiency is not too
favorable on lot of hroilers may
be some of the feed is going down
the rat hole. Rats also carry poul-
try diseases AID cause considerable
damage tc poultry buildings.
Many poultry farmers have lots
of rat harbors around their farms
that sLould be cleaned up during
the campaign to destroy the homes
and hiding places of rats. This
would also improve the appearance
of the farm. Feed should be stock
ed on platforms high enough for
cats and dogs to get under and
around the bags of feed to kill the
rats.
Feeding stations should also be
set up at several locations on the
poultry farm, including the feed
room, and should be supplied con-
tinuously with poison of one type
or another until no more is con-
sumed If stomach poisons are
used it pays to. pre-bait the sta
tions for a few days with food
without the poison. The anti-coagu-
lants may be purchased ready to
use, dS COilCSiiIi deSs VI 40 q oOAu-
able concentrate to mix with wa
ter AS q poison drink.
Whatever system or material is
used the important things to re-
member are to do the job thor
oughly, follow directions and use
care with the poison SO that rats
and rats only are killed. Poultry
men can save money by getting
rid of rats but only thinking of it
won't do the job. You must get out
and do the job in earnest if you
want results. Let's help rid Del
aware of rats this year.

More Improved
Fertilizers

Fertilizers are lot better than
they used to De, but more improved
fertilizer materials can be expected
in the future, reports county agent
George X. Vapaa.
Higher analysis fertilizers con-
tanning more nutrients and less
bulky inert matter, and soluble or
liquid fertilizers-all now on the
market-have reduced weight and
bulk and made both storage and
application of fertilizer materials
cheaper and easier for farmers and
home gardeners.
Industrial and State-Federal re-
search now being carried out will
undoubtedly lead to further i'm
provements, says Vapaa.
One of these improvements will
be the development of slower act
ing or less soluble forms of chem
ical fertilizer that viii not leach
iout of the soil so rapidly. This will
peated applications throughout the
applied in one operation to meet
the demands of a long-season crop
thus eliminating the need for re-
peaaed applications throughout the
season 1t will reduce present
heavy losses of nitrogen through
teaching. 1t will also prevent ex
cessive potash consumption, nov
a problem in alfalfa and certain
other crops in many parts of tn
country.
Other improvements will chang,
the physical makeup of fertilize
materials, making them easier d
store and to apply. A start in thi
direction has been made with TIL
development of some granular pro
ducts that have less tendency thar
older materials to cake and hard
en- during storage and that distrib
ute more easily and uniformly in
the field.
A lot more work needs to be done
in developing these better ferti-
lizers. says yapaa. But farmers
would do we'll to be alert for new
developments in this field because
they will omen opportunities fol
/ increased efficiency of production
and greater farm profits.
