Rodent Control
Save* Food
College Station. — Bodent
control is an effective means
of saving substantial amounts
of food and feed yearly in
Texas, according to R. B. Hick-
erson. He is the district field
assistant of the state Bodent
Control Service working in co-
operation with the A. and M.
College Extension Service.
Wild creatures which feed
, upon field crops include
gophers, rats and jack rabbits.
In the same category are coy-
otes and mountain lions which
harm poultry and livestock.
Destruction of these animals
reduces the amount of grain,
peanuts, riee and other food
and feed they steal yearly,
and at the same time makes
more pasture for livestock.
Listing some results of con-
trol work, Hickerson says that
in 1938 forty sections of the
Means ranch near Valentine
was practically worthless for
grazing because of prairie dog
infestation. An intensive con-
trol campaign resulted in an
estimated 99 per cent kill.
Clean up was conducted in
1938, 1939 and 1940. A check
in January of~this year show-
ed less than 10 acres infested.
Hickerson says that the ranch
now carries 1,000 more cattle
and 4,000 more sheep than
was possible prior to the con-
trol campaign.
Illustrating the depreda-
tions'of pocket gophers, Hick-
erson says that Chester Lath-
am, county commissioner of
Mrion County, estimates he
lost 500 bushels of his 1942
peanut crop to these rodents.
A bushel of peanuts was found
in one gopher store room. But
before planting his 1948 crop,
Latham treated the area with
poised maize for control of the
pest.
Coyotes were responsible
for the loss of 100 sheep and
85 hens and turkeys in Jim
Wells County this year. Hunt-
ers employed by the county
have taken 101 bobcats and
681 coyotes in the past
months, Hickerson say3. A_
male mountain lion weighingi
151 pounds caught by dogs in
southern Kinney County is
credited with destroying 150
sheep and goats estimated;
worth $900.
In The Good Old
Summer Time
You’ve heard it before but you may change the tune
on hot summer days if your tires have been neg-
lected.
Unless the tires on ycur car are extra good they will
require speeial attention to survive the hot days
ahead.
Check tire pressure regularly; pressure builds up
after driving several miles on hot roads.
Inspect tires carefully for tiny dry-crack3 inside
walls. Apply rubber preservative paint for protec-
tion.
Have your tires recapped before ail the tresd de-
sign is worn off.

CULL THE FLOCKS
AND SAVE FEED
i !
College Station.—Cull the
low producers from the laying
flocks nnd save feed. Normally
a hen will consume at least six
pounds of feed a month.
George P. McCarthy, poul-
tryman for the A. and M. Col-
lege Extension Service, esti-
mates that about 20 per eent
of the 30,000,000 birds now
on Texas farms could be cull-
ed and thereby save about 32,-
000,000 pounds of feed in the
next 30 days. A hen which
cannot produce more than her
keep is a burden on the
dwindling feed supply.
By culling now, McCarthy
explains, r. l-.r-e quantity of
poultry meat would be releas-
ed to the market. In addition
