Kill Rats To Save Grain, Schaub Urges Tar Heels Unless a concerted effort is made by North Carolina farm ers to destroy rats and mice on their farms, they stand to lose 250,000 bushels of corn during the coming year, says Director X. O. Schaub of the State col lege extension service. Since corn and other grains are so vitally needed, Director Schaub says that the citizens of this state, both rural and urban, should make a concerted effort to rid their premises of these damaging pests. "Not only should these wast ers of food and feed be killed now," he said, "but definite measures should be taken to prevent later infestations." While 100 per cent control isn't prac tical, certain steps can be taken to materially decrease the losses," he declared. Realizing the untold losses which rats and mice are caus ing in this state, the State col lege extension service, in coop eration with the State Board of Health and the predator and rodent control division of the U. S. Department of Interior fish and wildlife service, is launching a state-wide rat control campaign. The exten sion service will sponsor the program in the rural areas, while the State Board of Health supervises the work in urban centers. Oregon's 1947 tourist business brought an estimated 105 mil lion dollars into the Beaver state. While the south comprises only 17 </2 per cent of the total land area of the United States, it has 30 per cent of the total forest area and nearly 40 per cent of the commercial forest lands.

WANTED TO KEEP BUST Patrick Mulligan noticed that old Col. Waterford was adver tising for a man-servant, and decided to apply for the job. "What I want is a useful man," the colonel explained, "one who can cook, drive a car, look after my horses, clean boots and windows, feed the poultry, milk the cow, and do a little painting and paper hanging." "Excuse me, sor," said Pat, "but what kind o' soli have ye here?" "Soil?" barked the colonel, "What has that got to do with it?" "Well," exclaimed Patrick, with an obviously bogus humil ity, "I thought if it was clay, I might make a few bricks in my spare time." TEMPTING, HOWEVER Business was a bit dull In town, so the carpet sweepei salesman thought he'd try a rural neighborhood. When he began his customary sales talk the farmer Inter rupted with, "Don't waste your breath. I got a carpet sweeper." The salesman was ready for his reply. "Oood," he said "Then I can make you a generous al lowance on your old sweeper In part payment on a splendid new model." The farmer seemed tempted, then shook his head. "No," he said, "I can't make that kind of a deal. After all, I took her for Loiter or wuss.'
