Warfarin re duces the normal .clotting ability of the blood and causes the ro dents to die by internal bleeding. It is equally effective on rats and mice, but takes a little longer baiting period to control mice. The rodents are not killed imme diately. Warfarin must be eaten by a rat or mouse over a period of days, usually five to 14. No> difficulty whatever is en countered i?l getting rodehts to cat warfarin. No pre-hatting is necessary, and no bait shyness develops. For best results, shal low containers should be used.

Timber Owners Warned Of Post The Southern pine beetle, a real threat to pine timber in east ern North Carolina, has been temporarily stopped in its tracks. Although the. beetle .has caus ed extensive damage to at least 1,000 acres of pine timber In 10 counties, jecent rains along the coast and control measures by many lanU /wners have checked .the insect's activities. However, John E. Ford, aslst ant extension forester at State College, warns that the pine beet le, like other insect pests, never knows when it is licked and has not yet given up the fight. It's very posible, he says that if the beetles now found In the trees are not destroyed through the winter, enough beetles may be present next spring to start a sizeable epidemic ? especially if the weather is dry next spring. Ford says the beetles probably will remain in the trees where they are until spring. This per iod of inactivity is an excellent time for any landowner who has patches of recently killed pines to destroy the brood trees with the beetles in them. Since the pest works between the wood an dthe bark and Just inside the bark, destruction of the bark will kill the Insect. This can be accomplished, says Ford, by peeling the bark off and burning it. If infested trees are large e nough for sawtimber, they can be worked up into lumber, arid the slabs should then be burned. In the woods all "laps'* and tops of ,tree3 over two inches in diam eter should also be piled and burned. Counties affected by the beetle include Carteret, Craven Pamlico Beaufort, Hyde Washington, Bertie, Martin, Pitt, and Nash. Snow Is Attending Air Traffic School TINKER AFB, OKLA: Capt.
