14—Lancaster Fanning* Saturday, April 11. 1959 One Pair of Rats One pair of rats could have 1,500 dscendants in a single year if they all lived, according to Extension En tomogist Harold Gunderson of lowa State College. And in three years, he says, that one pair could have a total of 350-miliion descendants The average rat lives about 18 months, but it is conceivable that the or iginal pair could still be liv ing at the end of three years Although no estimates have been made of the world’srat population, Gundeson says there is reason to believe that the rat population now exceeds the human popula tion of the world which is estimated at 2,734,000,000.
