Rat Proof ing Vill
Save Grain, Agetlt Says
If all the rats in Perquimans Coun
ty, were destroyed within the next SO
days, this would probably save more
grain than any other attempt, says
I. C. Yagel, county agent for the
State College Extension Service.
Farmers in this county-are losing
hundreds of dollars each year through
the amount of grain and f eedstuffs
destroyed or made unusable by the
common rat, Mr. Yagel said. Be
cause of this and the fact that they
stand to lose even more another year,
every farmer in the county should
try to rid their premises of rats.
In most cases the use of poison
baits is the best method for destroy
ing rats, he pointed out, although
traps bring good resultswhen skill
fully used. Killing a Jew rats is only
a temporary riddance,- however, and
usually should be accompanied by the
elimination of rat harborage and the
rat proofing of buildings. Any one
of a number of poisons can be suc
cessfully used, but bait prepared with
red squill is primarily to be recom
mended, not only because it kills the
rats but because it is relatively harm
less to humans and domestic animals.
The cost of rat proofing the entire
premises of many Perquimans Coun
ty farms would amount to less than
the loss caused by rats on the same
farms during a single-year, Mr. Yagel
said. In no other place is rat proof
ing more badly needed or less often
accomplished than on the farm.
A rat proof farm is not necessarily
one in which the entire farmstead is
absolutely proofed, but rather one
where conditions are so unfavorable
for any invading rats that they either
will desert the premises of their own
accord or may be easily routed by
jnan or dogs.

Farmers who cure their sweet po
tatoes carefully and store them at
the proper temperature and humidity
are finding their losses from rot to
be reduced appreciably, says H. M.
Covington, Extension Horticulture
specialist at State College.
Sweet potatoes have for years been
"cured" before storage kept for
about 10 days immediately after har
vest at a temperature of 85 degrees
and a relative humidity of about 85
per cent. The explanation for the
success of this process is that when
the skin of a sweet potato tuber is
broken in the harvesting process, the
tuber forms a layer of corky cells
which heals the wound. This heal
ing takes place most rapidly in fair
ly high temperature and moisture
conditions". Z ' .
Even with the greatest possible
care in handling, there are at least
two small wounds on almost every
sweet potato, where the ends are
broken in harvesting. Until com
pletely healed by the formation of
new1 cells, these breaks are entrances
for disease-producing organisms. U.
S. Department of Agriculture spec
ialists working in cooperation with
the Southeastern States have found
that wound-cork layers formed be
neath the dried and hardened wound
surface greatly retard infection and
to a large degree actually prevent it.
. At a temperature of 85 degrees
and a relative humidity of 85 per
cent this healing process begins by
the third day and proceeds rapidly.
- The potatoes should be placed in
the curing house within a few hours
after digging, and in no case should
thev be allowed to remain ontaide
over-night. After curing, storage
house temperatures should drop to
about 65 degrees, but humidity should
be maintained at 80 to 85 per cent.
Storage temperatures should not be
allowed to go below 50 degrees, or
cold damage may result. A
