DECEMBER 11, 1947 MATTERS ot INTEREST to FARMERS Rats Are Causing Extensive Damage On Tar Heel Farms The loss caused by rats on man North Carolina farms in a sluKlo year is hiKher than the cost of rat proofinK the entire i)reniisos, say extension specialists at State College. A rat-proof farm, iliey say. is not necessarily one in which the entire farmstead is absolutely proofed, but jathor one wlioro conditions are so unfavorable for any invading rats that they either will de.ssort the pro mises of their own accord or may ho easily routed by mau or dogs. Permanent froedoni from rats should be the goal of everyone troubled with these posts, but before tackling this problem, the reasons why rats exist on the preml.se .should first be determined. Rats redttliT food, water, and shel ter, and they cannot exist where these are lacking; tlterofore, theii source of food and water should bo protected or removed, and all pla( es of shelter eliminated as far as practi cable. Food is ovor-abuiulant on most farms and is the prime reason why ntore '-ats are probtibly found on fttrms than any other place, the spe cialists point out. Feed In solf-feod- ers in the poultry lionso and tlto left over feed in cattle and hog troughs are almost impossible to protect: lowever, l)y carrying out llte follow ing practices, the situation can bo improved, they say, l\cep surplus feed in tight contalnois sucli ns rat- proof lilns and steel (trunis.
