ORE-CAL- Operated Personally Licensed and Insured over timber areas has been de layed because of early fall snows. It is estimated that within 48 hours after the area is spread with wheat containing "10-80", one of the most lethal poisons known, the ground is clear of rodents and seed spotting can begin.

This method of seed ing is less costly than planting trees, and results in more hardy young growth according to Mat- toon.
