! Rats Cause Huge
Losses To Farmers
Rats would probably take great
pride in boasting that each year
they destroy more than 200,000 farmers
can produce if they could talk,
says James T. Conner, in charge of
Entomology for the State College
Extension Service
Most likely they would also like
to mention their "city slickers" since
their population in cities is approximately
Ipial to one-half the human
poplation in such areas.
Where the human population is
troubled with the housing shortage,"
rats could boast that they have no '
housing shortage and easily say
that, "you provide us with plenty of
food and shelter."
A carefifl search on every farm
and in or around city dwellings will
show the presence of rats, Mr. Conner
said. It isn't a disgrace to have
them, but it is a disgrace to keep
them.
If you have riot already taken an
active part to rid your premises of
rats and mice, then Mr. Conner suggests
that you get in touch with
lyourcounty agent or health official
and join with thousands of other
Tar Heel families in their war against
the destrlctive pests. I the
anti-rat campaign has not been held
In your county recently or is not In
progres now, it will be conducted
soon.
Grain is too precious now for it
to be fed to rats, Mr. Conner said.
The state of Maine produces a
large potato crop, with hay in second
place in its agricultural list.
The state's main manufacturing is
cotton and wool textiles, worsteds,
hoots and shoes.

Many Farms Don't
Have Electricity
j According to survey results recer
iy announced by the Rural Elect:
fication Administration, 129,8.':
farms in North Carolina, or 45 pe
| cent of all the farms in the State, c
1 not have electric service.
The study, which analyzes th
; Nation's rural electrification pn
gress up to June 30, 1947, shows th;
2 1-4 million farms ? or 39 [tercet
i of all farms in the U. S.?were ni
'electrified at that time
1 The survey ranks North Carolin
19th on its State-bv-State M?t!rte
unelelctrified farm totals. Compare
| with other States, therefore. Nort
'Carolina is faced with the challenj
ling job of catching up with the re
'of the Nation's progress in rural <
, lectrification.
j The report carries with it the a:
|surance that a minimum of S6.393
