ERADICATION OF
RATS EASIER IN
COLD WEATHER
Better If Campaign Is Put
On As Community
Effort
—•_«
In cold weather the marauding rat j
congregates with his fellows in rub
bish heaps, dumps, cellars, and other!
protected places. From these he may I
be dislodged hy a well-planned cam-1
paign of eradication,
"Rats are not so scattered in cold
weather," says, C. I). Schwartz. junior
biologist at State College "A cam
paign of eradication may be made very
'effective in winter because «t (Ins gr-
garious habit, and. too, the offensive j
odor of dead rats is not so noticeable, i
The rat population may be reduced or
eradicated by. a definite schedule of
systematic |>oisoniug. trapping, and
starving It is better, however, if the I
campaign is undertaken iti a large way
as by community effort."
Mr Schwartz says that the wharf
fill, as Ik is rojiimonly known, lias
lieen increasing his numbers this sum
mer by leaps and bounds. Food has
been plentiful, and farm owners have
been too busy to notice his depreda
tions. In winter is the time to note
this damage and to cherts it.
What the pest has not eaten, he has
carried off or spoiled for human con
sumption. In addition to being aVob
•-ber.-thf ral tKit- i-r- a -rnrrrrr- -of-dr**
ease. One of the most fatal of these
is the "Black I'lague" or bubonic
plague This disease may he con
trolled onl\ by the most rigid of quar
antines.
How comniunitiesmay cooperate to i
control the rat or to conduct cam
paigns "lor his eradication has been j
made an especial study by Mr.
Schwartz. He will be glad to render
such assistance as he can, free of
charge, anywhere witliin the State.
Those who wish to reduce rodent i
damage 011 their farms or in their |
neighborhoods should write Mr.

COW NEEDS CARE
DURING WINTER
6" j ]
Comfortable Cow Is Profit
able Cow; Shelter Is
Needed
♦ '• 1 1
Kxtra feed can not be substituted I 1
for shelter, for the comfortable cow is i
the profitable cow. When the animals |
are exposed to.wintry winds and rains,' '
much ol tin iced goes to keep the j
bodies warm instead of to produce'
milk.
"Therefore, some effort should be
ade to keep the dairy cow .condor*
e during the period sof disagree-1
able w.eather." says John A. Arey,;]
dairy extension specialist at State
College. "Their stalls should lie well
lighted and properly ventilated, but
fret from air rurreutSss. Ventilation is 1
important hut should he so arranged
as to prevent the air currents from
striking the cow's liody. I bis is .ac
complished hy making the sides of the j
bam or cow-died tight and admitting'
ftesli air through properly arranged
windows."
Mr. Arey states that the practice ol
requiring the cow to wade through
mud and ice fur some distance to get
drinking water is too common in the
Stale and too expensive 011 the dairy
industry. Such needless exposure
chills the animals and prevents lier
from drinking the amount of water 1
that she normally would consume.
Normal milk, says Mr Arey, sou
tains By' l per cent water, and a cow j
producing JO pounds of milk daily

The dairy cow: of high-producing
breeds is a creature of habit. Unusu

she is accustomed to a regular routine

this system will make lief nervous and |

GOOD PASTURE
ON POOR LAND

Surry Farmer Converts Old
Run-Down Farm Into
Fine Fall Pasture
An old run-down farm has been
I renovated, excellent pastures have
] been built, and clover will now grow )•
oi' laud that was once tod poor for
this crop is the interesting story that |
conies from B. A.'Booker, a farmer of
the- Mount Airfc- "•ectH.m of Surry
County.' "
j "Mr: Itortker has been building sonic !
i good pasture on bis laud during the !
If st few years," says H. K. While,
county agent of Surry County. "He j
started with laud"of 1 low fertility and ,
, lit the addition of- limestone, manure, j
i intl soil building crops, he now has
one of the finest fall pastures to be
found iu the county, lie is also suc
cessful with sweet clover."
Mr. White states that when Mr.
Hooker began with his sweet clover,
lie took 2 1-2 acres of land to which
he applied 8,600 of ground limestone. 1
He sowed seed at the rate of 20 pounds
jiei acre, being careful to inoculate J
his seed. *"1 his was iu April of 1V27, !

This past season he mowed his sweet
clover apd rut over 2,500 pounds of
fine hay per acre. The sweet clover
lia> been followed by a volunteer
stand of white, dutch clover, and this
is now furnishing excellent fall graz
ing. Later this field will go into al
falfa.
As a result of his soil-building prac
tice. with iiiiK' and Icsunu >. Mr.
Hooker recently said that he could I
produce tell times the yield of hay or
grain as when he bought the farm. He
i. gradually preparing additional lattd j
i in this way, and then he intends to
' go into the dairy business. This, he
| states, will be more profitable than
| tobacco growing. He knows that he j
can improve his land, for he lias
found the method to use. Lime and
legumes will do wonders in soil build
ing, lie told Mr. White.
