destroyed or damaged 200 mil
lion bushels of grain, besides be
ing carriers of many deadly dis
eases. They may raise six or
more litters per year with from
six to twenty-two in a litter. The
progeny from one pair of rats
could exceed 350,000,000 in three
years.
From this you can see that rat
control is a big job and should
be a continuous job for every
one. First, rats cannot be elim
inated if they have a place to
hide. Clean up piles of rubbish,
stacks of lumber, and replace
wooden floors close to the ground
with concrete or metal floors.
Make food difficult for rats to
find by storing feeds properly
and keeping garbage and scraps
in rat-proof containers.
In poisoning rats, red squill is
is the safest bait for use by the
general public. Antu is also
good, but must be kept away
from dogs and other domestic
animals. All poisons are only as
effective as the bait with which
they are mixed. Use fresh bait;
bread crumbs, back fat, ham
burger and fish are good baits.
Pick up uneaten bait each morn
ing. Use the same bait, poison
ed, when rats come regularly to
baited places.
Red squill poison is available
at this office.
The Oregon State college nu
tritionists report that less irri
tation of digestive organs is suf
fered if sweets are accompanied
by generous drafts of water or
similar beverages. The custom
of overeating sweets for Christ
mas sometimes dampens the
holiday season by producing an
"out of sorts" feeling. If sweets
are eaten, taking a moderate
amount at the end of each meal
is recommended. If sweets are
eaten between meals, thy are
less irritating if diluted in the
digestive system by drinking
water with them.

Club
Breeding livestock projects are
becoming more popular with 4-H
club members and are being en
couraged by the county agent.
A short time ago a news item
listed the 4-H club members who
are carrying breeding projects.
Added to this list recently is
Eddie Brosnan and Sally Pal
mer who have each purchased
two registered Hampshire ewes
from the C. M. Hubbard & Sons
Hampshire flock at Monroe.
These were selected by the coun
ty agent last week while attend
ing annual conference in Cor
vallis. The Hubbard flock is one
of the outstanding Hampshire
flocks in the country and Eddie
and Sally are off to a good start
in the project they have chosen.
Two 4-H clubs, one a health
club, the other a hobby club, or
ganized last month at the Hard
man school, with Mrs. Cleo Rob
inson and Mrs. Walter Wright as
leaders, have received their lit
erature and began the project
work.
Both of these leaders led clubs
with 100 per cent completion the
past year and have this goal in
mind with these clubs.
The annual extension confer
ence held at Oregon State col
lege, attended by the county ag
ent, was devoted largely to 4-H
club work. Four-H club discus
sions were held continuously
through the week. With the ad
dition of two new assistant lead
ers, the 4-H state club staff is
now five persons. They will be
able to carry on a better pro
gram by giving more assistance
to agents in counties.
Of particular interest was the
two-day school for agents, on
4-Hshowmanship and judging.
Swine, sheep, dairy, beef and
saddle horse practice judging as
well as proper showmanship of
these animals were studied.

Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Everett and
their son and daughter-in-law,
Lt. and Mrs. Jack Everettt left
tree, can be a real, ever-present
fire hazard in the home, warns
Charles R. Ross, O.S.C. extension
service forester, who adds some
safety tips.
Christmas, the time for sleigh
bells, neighborly visits and good
cheer, is also a time of many
home fires, Ross states. During
past years a good many homes
have been burned to the ground
due to fires which started in the
Christmas tree, spread to near
by curtains or furniture, then
enveloped the home.
Here are a few timely sugges
tions from Ross for persons who
will have Christmas trees in their
homes this year:
1. Make certain your Christ
mas tree light electrical system
is in good forking order.
2. Do not use combustible tree
decorations.
3. Choose a spot in the room
to place the tree where it will
not ignite nearby curtains or fur
niture if it should catch fire.
4. Place the tree where its ac
cidental burning cannot trap oc
cupants of a room. This is es
pecially important in churches
or schools where large crowds
will be gathering.
5. Do not use lighted wax can
dles on the tree.
6. Take care that presents
placed under the tree which are
combustible or are wrapped in
Inflammable wrappings are free
from lighted tree decorations and
electrical circuits.
A simple home formula is av
ailable for fireproofing fabric
materials, Ross adds. Mix seven
ounces of borax with three oun
ces of boric acid In two quarts
of water until the solid material
is dissolved. Fireproofing can
then be done by dipping or
sprinkling fabrics. The best job,
Ross says, is accomplished hy
thorough saturation. After dry
ing, fabrics may be ironed.
