RED SQUILL IS
BEST RAT POISON
Red Squill is considered by far
the best rat poison known, but its
success depends upon how and
where it is distributed.
Two of its main advantages are
that it is relatively harmless to do
mestic animals and that it is com
paratively slow to take effect on
Humphries, an original poem by
Elisa Wehrenberg and one of our
greatest American poets by Nellie
Gravely.
The English Club adjourned to
meet again Friday, November the
thirteenth.

rats, said George B. Lay, rodent
control leader of the U. S. Biologi
cal Survey, with headquarters at
N. C. State College.
When a fast-acting bait kills the
first rats that nibble it, he explain
ed, the other rats are frightened
away and are, therefore, not likely
to be poisoned.
Although Red Squill will not kill
domestic animals, it may make
them sick, and for this reason it
should be placed where they can
not get at it very easily, Lay point
ed out.
On farm premises, the bait should
be spread late in the afternoon,
after chickens and livestock have
more or less settled down. Put out
plenty of bait so that all rats will
have a chance to eat it freely.
Look for runways, burrows, and
other places where rats may be,

Lay continued, and place bait in and
around tHqse places. Many small
bits of bait, about the size of marbles
are better than a few bigger pieces
Rats run along beams and raft
ers Ynd in other high plades, but
they return to the floor or ground
to seek feed and water. So the bait
should be put out in low places
rsfther than in those higher up
Red Squill causes a gradual pa
ralysis. When the rats feel the ef
fects coming on, they seek burrows
and other out of tHa way places to
die. Few if any dead rats are found
in the open, and there are seldom
any serious unpleasant odors.
However, if any dead rats are
found in the open, Lay continued
they should be buried or otherwise
destroyed.
