All this ^lk about providing
starving rats with more than 200
million bushels of grain this com
ing year, set me thinkin'^ about
“The Case of the Farmer Whose
Poultry Industry Was Wijp^ Out
By Rats.” ^
If you want to knoiw something
about the destructive potential of
the little animal that causes so
miich ruckus on Tar Heel farms,
stop off in the Gumberry Com
munity of Northampton County
County and talk over it with Edra
Buffaloe.

GREYHOUN
Edd’s a Negro farmer who built
a brooder house early last Spring.
And, with no hint of the' disaster
that was to befall him, he pur
chased 160 baby chicks. IntcT the
brootier house they went.
“Four days later,” the would-
be poultryman relates, “all . the
chicks were doing nicely except
15 weak ones that I considered a
normal loss.”
“And then what happ^ned^”
I ask.
“Well,” says Edd, “on the fifth
morning I went out to the brood
er to stir the fire—and there was
n’t a chick to be found.”
■When I asked him what in the
world could have happened to the
bLddiies, the tired Negro farmer
stopped and thought i^hit before
going oh:
“At first we thought it was
thieves—figured somebody stole
’em-^but late that same afternoon,
while I was takin’ a friend to see
the brooder house, I changed my
mind—”
Anxious to hear what hadi hjip-
pened, I urged the man to hurry
along to the point.
“I heard a little chreep! chreep!

—real weak, you understand—
coming from under the floor of
the building. We got down there
and found—”
“Yes? What did you find—”
says I impatiently.
“One hundred and five dead
chicks!”
“Is that a fact!” ^
Then he went on to' tell \ me
how rats had' carried every^^ne
of the chicks through a small
hole in the concrete floor where
it had not settled properly. Just
to see what would happen, Edd
poured some hot lye water down
the rat run. The net result of
this operation was one large rat,
very much in a hurry.
If this was the only rat in
volved in the loss of the chicks,
he was responsible for more than
$25 damage.
Right now, Edd’s of the firm
belief that every farmer should
inspect his out-^buildings for rats
each year!

monstrations.
Also winning a free trip to the
Congress will be State winners
in Sweet potatoes, corn, cotton,
tobacco, and peanuts. Theie will
be announced at an early date,
tent that every high school in the
State will participate.
The contest is sponsored by the
N. C. Bankers Association and
this year, for the first’ time, is
open to high school students in
every county of the State.
In 1945, when the first contest
was held, contestants from only
12 counties were permitted to
compete. This move on the part
of the State Bankers Association
met with such success and, be
came so popular that in 1946, the
contest was extended to permit
entries from 45 counties.
Mr. Johnson, in a letter today
to J. Frank Doggett, in charge of
Soil Conservation for the State
College Extension Service, said,
“I know of no other movement of
greater importance to our agri
culture than'* soil ednservation.
Particularly is this true at pre-
7
sent when the reduction in acre
age of tobacco, peanuts and other
money crops will have a direct
effect on the farmers income. Im
provement of the soil, thereby in
creasing production per acre, is
in my opinion the most logical
method for keeping the farmers
income up;”
“I purpose, as president of the
Bankers Association, to present
this matter at each group meeting
to be held between now and the
date of our convention and im
press upon them the necessity of
supporting this soil conservation
program,” Mr. Johnson said.
The contest is open to all high
school students, boys and girls,
rural and urban. Each contestant
must write his or her speech, but
may receive help from anyone or
any source. The subject of the
speech will be “Soil Conservation
And Its Relation to the Economy
of North Carolina”; however, the
words “Soil Copservation” may
be replaced with a practice more
important in the contestants com
munity.
