Lists 5 Ways Farmers Can Battle Rats Each year rats and mice de stroy many million bushels of grain and feed that are needed badly to help meet the increas ed national demand for meat, milk, and other livestock prod ucts. These pests are also the source of several diseases that are deadly to humans, pets, livestock, and poultry. Rats and mice on your property mean money out of your pocket, ac cording to L C. Whitehead, ro dent control specialist for State College Extension service. Permanent control of these devastating pests is a five-fold job. First of all, don't give them any shelter! Rats and mice are difficult to get rid of if they have places to hide. Get rid of rubbish, stacks of old lumber, and other materials that pro vide places of refuge for these rodents; Second, don't feed them! A "hungry" rodent is easily trap jped and killed. Store food and feeds properly and keep scraps and garbage in rat-proof con tainers. Third, kill them! Rats and mice that are hungry and lack shelter are easily killed by pois i onlng. fumigating, and trap I ping. Red Squill and Warfarin are inexpensive chemicals that I are effective against rodents. Red Squill is the least hazard - . ous, but it is ineffective against mice. Warfarin is effective against both rats and mice, but ' requires a week or more ex posure to get satisfactory con trol. Stronger chemicals such as | zinc phosphide, or arsenic may be used, but can be dangerous : to other animals. I Fourth, organize community rat-control projects! Commun ity action is the most effective , 1 way to fight rats. Community , i campaigns should include not , | only farms, but dumps, feed mills, and other sources in I towns and villages. Finally, follow a year-round ? program! Rats never take vaca tions. They raise four or more I I litters r year averaging from i 1 six to tea in a litter.- Rat con trol must be a continuous job. I "Rat-Control Weeks" are tnef ; fective unless they are followed I by a year-round program V The top photo shows Waynesville's James Robert Moore returning a Franklin punt from the Waynesville 27 to the 42 during the third period of Friday night's game here. In the lower pic ture Waynesville picks up a needed first down. With the ball deep in Franklin's territory, this first down made a touchdown possible seconds later? one of the two scored by the Haywood team in the last four minutes of the game.

Mendenhall, county agent. The principal causes involve falling from, or being thrown off the tractor, overturning, unguarded power take-off shafts and violation of traffic rules when operating on the highway. The National Safety council points out that safe operation of the 3 million tractors now used on farms could save hun dreds of lives and thousands of serious injuries annually. You cannot afford, says Mr. Mendenhall, to gamble the loss of a limb or life by operating without the power take-off shield in place. Carelessness in handling tractors around ditches can start a trip to the hospital. Jumping off a trac tor or making adjustments while in motion is another way to invite an accident. You can easily lose a child by permit ting children to operate or hitch a ride on tractors. Never refuel a Tractor while the motor is running or ex tremely hot. Avoid leaky fuel lines and accumulations of com bustible materials near hot manifolds or exhausts^ Store ! tractor fuels cafely and always have a fire extinguisher avail able for an accidental fire. When operating on the high .SEEK DRAFT REGISTRANT The local draft board this week asked that anyone know ing the whereabouts of Howard Jacob Mincey, whose last known address was Ellijay, communi cate with the board. It was ex plained the board has impor tant mail for Mr. Mincey. Freeze Applesauce For Winter's Use Urges Specialist Why not make enough apple sauce so that you can freeze some to have this winter, Miss Nita Orr, State college exten sion frozen foods specialist, rec ( ommends that, when freezing , applesauce, you add one table spoon of an ascorbic acid solu tion to one pint of sauce. You make the solution by adding I one teaspoon of ascorbic acid to one half cup of water. Pack the applesauce in a frozen foods container that is I good for other fruits and veg- | etables, making certain to leave one-half inch headspace. And if you have any extra [ space in your freezer, you may want to make up an apple pie or two and freeze them. If un expected company drops in, you can pop a frozen pie into the oven and come up with a tempting dessert. way, always obey traffic rules and avoid excessive speeds. Stop before entering main highways and use a red flag high up on the tractor to warn motorists of slow moving equip ment. Use headlights and tail lights- after dark. The Weather Th? ?.*?. ar?

No. 2 the highly-regarded Waynesville powerhouse for almost the en- j tire game. And as the game slipped out of the Franklin's grasp, those same fans, though disappointed, were smiling ? Coach Ralph Mc Connell's Panthers had proved they had what it takes and had turned the predicted runaway game into one of the best high ! school games of the season. In the statistics department, j the Panthers were the head* liners, chalking up 11 first j downs to Waynesville's 7 and I rushing 124 yards to the Moun taineers' 120. Hard, clean football ruled most of the game with both teams threatening once up to the last four minutes. After that the Panthers lost a key lineman to injuries and the Mountaineers lived up to their press clippings. Guard Gearge Brown, a 48 minute man in the Panther line, was shaken up while making a tackle about midway in the fourth quarter and stayed out for the remainder of the game. Because of Franklin's shallow depth in the line, the spunky I guard's position was a hard one for the coach to fill. On the opening kickoff the Panthers drove to the Waynes ville six before stalling. In the third, quarter, penalties and a concerted hold-that-line by the Panthers stopped the Mountain eers on the Franklin three. In the dying minutes of the game, the Panthers, deep in Waynesville territory, took to the air in an attempt to win the game, but the attack back fired to the tune of two touch downs for the Mountaineers. ?Moore snared a pass on the | Franklin 20, and as the Panth ers closed in to tackle him he lobbed the ball in desperation to a teammate, who rolled over for the score. The extra was good. After taking the kickoff, the Panthers again took to the air and Waynesville intercepted for a repeat performance in the scoring department. Farmer tucked away the ball on the Franklin 34 and lateralled to Owens, who went over for the score. Tomorrow (Friday) night the Panthers close their 1952-53 season here in a game ,with Clyde High. The game will get under way at 8 o'clock.
