What Do Rats Cost.
The damage caused by rats
s>nd their role as carriers of dis-
ease are well known. They are
active agents in the distribution
of bubonic plague. The presence
Of this disease ir^cities of Mexico
and its occurrence in Texas sea-
ports last summer prompted the
health authorities -in these- sea*
ports to institute in August meas-
ures for the destruction of rats.
Occasional new.£flS£S—of—plague-
in cities shows the menace still
and that their annual cost is
$72,000,000. This is exclusive of
fire loss and "other damage due
to them. ■ *
With such facts staring us in
the face, the Extension Service,
A. & M. College of Texas feels
that strenuous efforts should be
made to encouroge rat extermi-
nation campaigns and is jjrejjar-
ed to render some valuable co-
operative effort and assistance.
