Farmer Uses
Electric Fence To
Keep Out Varmits

VarmintS everywhere might
find it difficult to mooch
meal if the idea of an Eastern
North Carolina farmer catches
on.
A bit of ingenuity and
small electric shock provided
an inexpensive solution to a
vexing problem on the John
Tinga farm near Wilmington.
Pack rats, raccoons and 9TH
er varmints with a taste for
sweet potatoes helped them
selves rather frequently from
plant beds on the Tinga farm.
While these noctural feasts
undoubtedly simplified the
struggle for survival among
the small animal population,
they left the potato plant beds
in ShambleS.
Tinga dared to think small
as he sought to save his seed
lings from destruction. A pint
size electric fence proved to
be an effective barrier to the
unwelcome guests. The bottom
strand of the miniature fence
is only three inches from the
ground, and the topmost strand
is seven inches high. Height
and spacing of the wire was
determined after a period of
trial and error.
Use of the "varmint fince"
is one contribution of the Tin
ga farm to the current ALL
Practice Demonstration Pro-
gram staged by the N. c. Agri-
cultural Extension Service
with the aid of electric power
companies, equipment manu-
facturers, and other organiza-
tionS and agencies.
r. L. Thompson, district ag-
ricultural development engin-
eer for Carolina Power &;
Light Company in Wilmington,
reports that the programs
purpose is to weld these vari-
Gus interests into a working
effort to produce high yields
and top quality in farm COM
modities. He is a member of
the programs sweet potato
committee.
"The Tinga application is a
small contribution to be sure"
Thompson said, but the in
genuity applied to solve the
problem is typical of results
we hope to achieve"

In q f~inty-four page study made by Commonwealth
