Vx/ "OUR Store is YOU R Store"
This warfarin bait is the safest
and yet the most effective method
of controlling rats and mice on the
farm or in the home.
Since this is a county-wide rat
and mouse campaign, every farmer
is urged to attend the demonstration
whether or not he intends to buy
any bait. When you come to the
j demonstration place, stop by for
your neighbor. Every demonstration
will start at 9:00 in the morning
and will be over in an hour so you
won’t lose much time from field
work.
Rats and mice destroy much
grain and feed and also carry dis-
ease so lets all get busy and see if
we can control therfi as much as
possible.
The rat control demonstration
in the Kelton community will be at
j the Buster Walser farm which is
at the intersection of Highway 152
and the Kelton farm to market
road.
Farm Bureau Membership
There will be a county-wide Farm
Bureau membership drive in Wheel-
er County starting on November 12
and lasting all that week. The
Wheeler County Farm Bureau is
going to work on the crow problem
again among other things. This
organization needs your membr-ship
and cooperation so remember them
and join the Wheeler County Farm
Bureau between November 12-17.
The Wheeler County Bureau
will also open its service office In
Wheeler on November 1. George
Richardson will be service agent
| and the office is located south of
the bank in Wheeler. This office
will offer the following services now: j
car insurance, fire insurance, and
health and accident insurance to
its members. Later on this office I
will try to help its members on in- |
come tax returns and other pro- l
blems. Drop by this office for a '
friendly visit.
