Winter Increases Destruction By Rats and Mice .T-,n a rmiMiiwiTV PnnnT.FM. hnth rural and urban and winter is the time they Btrike in greatest numbers.

Contam ination of grain by rodent drop pings, hairs and urine has cost the farmer thousands of dollars through down-grading from grain suitable for human food to that usable only as animal feed. Mouse contamination of grain is increasingly becoming important in many areas where rat popula tions have been drastically re duced and the mouse population is growing. Such are the alarm ing, but true statistics furnished by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service and compiled in a brochure published by the Wis consin Alumni Research Founda tion of Madison, Wisconsin. It is obvious in the face of facts available that some constructive action must be taken to fight an enemy that last year alone de stroyed the production of more than 100,000 farms enough to feed 1 person out of every 15! Clean grain means money in the fanner's pocket. Today the farmer is not as helpless in the face of rat menace as he was ton years ago. In ad dition to the traditional defensive measures, he can now actively fight this menace with the proven, easy-to-u;? rat and mouo ltil'er. warfarin. Discovered in the !;:',(,- ratories of Professor Karl Paul Link of the University of Wiscon sin, warfarin was patented by the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation. Warfarin kills rodents by thin ning their blood until they die of internal hemorrhage, over a peri od of 5 to 14 days. It is not a "quick kill" poison and there is no bait shyness. The rodents sim ply eat warfarin containing baits until they die. Warfarin is comparatively safe when there are children about, because it is slow acting and usually mixed with unappetizing cereal baits to be fed to the rats and mice. The entire community, work ing together, can win the war against rodents, a campaign that is bound to add up to a cleaner neighborhood, a safer community and the prevention of waste. A few basic steps to remember in personally fighting this enemy are to keep garbage and refuse containers tightly covered, rat proof buildings by closing all holes in exterior walls, and make use of any of the rodenticides containing warfarin, available under various trade names in stores throughout the country. A:!.'iiti::'wl information may be seeded by calling your county aHtni!tural nent or local health IN THE SADDLE With The Wranglers by John Newman Tuesday evening, Feb 4 if you weren't there you will never know what a good suggestion' let's have a potluck and it start-1 nrl at C'lfi in linn )! would. By 7:15 everything was cleared away except the large table full of food that made your mouth water even when the1 stomach was so full you felt like 1 sleeping. For the next 15 minutes the secretary was busy taking ' clues and it is only half as hard to part with a five when the, stomach is full. We should try' potluck more often! I As the money taking slowed! down and the benches became' harder, the meeting took up. Jim Farley with the aid of Bud Springer and an assist from Turn-! A-Lum delivered to the club grounds from the mill 3000 feet of 2 by 10s for calf, cow and bucking chutes. Papineau Bros set up the A frames, Howard and Bruce pulled out short posts, put In long ones and hung two of the chute gates. The auction sale committee has set the date of the sale for April 26 at the fair grounds. The requested delivery date would start two weeks prior for every thing but livestock or poultry. If you can make out a listing of the things you plan to get rid of and give it to Herman Green, Roioe Fulleton, Archie or Johnnie Eubanks, they could get together and make out a list of leaders for advertising. The club felt due to the size of the grounds and the large num ber of participants that it would be unwise to invite more than one club at a time. It was also approved that any member whose dues was not received by April 1 would have to be voted on for reinstatement. To those who are using or mis using the barn and corrals and haven't some place else to take your stock in a hurry, it would be very wise to quit abusing the priviledge you now have, for this day the fair board has not ified the club that unless the barn is kept clean and the litter piled out by the trees so it can be hauled, and feeding stopped along the fence which creates a fire hazard when dry, the barn will be taken back and padlock-. ed. This was no idle threat so I pass it on to you. If it wouldn't inconvenience you too much, give the other fellow some con sideration. When we play as vvlien we work, we like to feel at home, and the more you put into a home the more pleasure we get out of it. In short, if you want Hobby Show to Be State Fair Event SALEM (Special): Del Finley, owner of the Toy & Hobby Shop in Salem has been named Super intendent of the Hobby Show at the 1958 Oregon State Fair.
