HEALTH HINT
Now that chicks
are about to ar-
rive, It’s a good
idea to completely
sanitize the brood-
er house, the hov-
ers, feeders, wa-
terers a n d all
equpmenl with a solution of
Purina Disinfectant.
Use Purina Chek-R-Tabs
to sanitize baby chicks' drink-
ing water. Complete direc-
tions on the label. Ask for
Purina Disinfectant and
Chek-R-Tabs before you get
your chicks.
EARLY FRESHENING,
EXTRA PROFIT
Does the extra income of one
complete lactation interest you
Of course, it does.
Many dairymen are now get-
ting an extra lactation on the
Purina Calf and Heifer Program
Faster growth makes freshening
possible and practical at 22-24
months.
Holstein heifers in D. H. I. a.
herds of one state that calved at
22 to 25 months of age produced
an average of 1,920 lbs. of fat to
7 years of age. Those that calved
first at 28 to 30 months produced
1,760 pounds while those calving
from 30 to 31 months produced
only 1,720 pounds.
Ask for Purina Nursing Chow
and Calf Startena. Feed from 3
days of age. The Purlnn Calf Pro-
gram will help you grow calves
weighing up to 70 lbs. more than
the U. S. average at 4 months as'
it has hundreds of times at the
Research Farm.
At 4 months switch to one cf
Purlna's famous Heifer Growing

Effort To Curb
Rats Launched
Methods Suggested
For County Farmers
d-H Club To Hold Valentine Party
A program for destruction of rats
and mice has been launched by (he
county agent's office in line with
a government campaign against
contaminated wheat.
The announcement came today
from County Agent Riley Tarver
along with general information on
control, as preparations were mode
to emphasize the problem at the
annual farm clinic Feb. 3.
Long Use Needed
The county agent advised use of
pival or warfarin, which cause
hemorrhages in rats and mice,
but stressed that both must be
eaten every day for at least five
days or every other day for 10
days before becoming effective.
Prepared bait using the chemicals
is blended in a cereal mixture.
About five pounds of the bait is
needed for an average farm set of
buildings he said, with the bait
kept exposed for at least two weeks
and enough on hand to replenish
the supply in each bait spot as it
is eaten.
Members of the Center Grove
4-H club will bold a Valentine Day
party Monday, Feb. 14, it was de-
cided at the club's regular month-
ly meeting.
Patty Stroud, president, conduct-
ed the meeting at which Shirley
Reichert, secretary, called the roll
and Jerry Moore, vice president,
led the ritual,
Shirley and Sharon Reichert pre-
sented a demonstration on meat,
and Sharon, song leader, led the
group in singing. George Kennedy
led in a game.
In separate sessions girls met j
with Miss Gladys Kaiser, assist-
ant home demonstration agent, to I
select patterns and material for j
their clothing project, and boys
met with Dave Williams,
farm agent, to work
projects.
Visitors were Mrs. T. /
and Mrs. J. M. Stroud.

Poison Dangerous
He warned that dogs and cats,
as well as other animals may be
affected by the poisons if allowed
to eat the bait daily for several
days, but added that one or two
small feedings are rarely harmful.
Chickens seems to be resistant
to both poisons, Tarver said, and
there is no positive proof that ani-
mals eating dead rats will be
poisoned. Cats have been killed by
eating too many rats, lie said, and
cats also may be killed by tape-
worm from eating rats.
Additional advice on bait sta-
tions may be obtained from the
county agent's office.
