another 150 to 200 pounds practic-
ally worthless, according to esti-
mates of the U. S. Department of
Agriculture, Secretary Horst pointed
out.
Other sources estimate each rat
working on stored grain will destroy
enough to keep a laying hen in
good grain rations for more than
two years since the average hen
consumes about 75 pounds of grain
per year.
Insects and moles are even more
destructive than rats in grain stor-
age bins, Secretary Horst declared.
Pennsylvania farmers continually
are fighting half a dozen different
kinds of grain moths, about the
same number of varieties of beetles
and various grain mites. Their an-
nual “board bill” in Pennsylvania is
estimated at approximately $8,-
750,000. ; :
Federal experts have declared in-
sects destroy about 5 per cent of
stored ‘grains and rats and other
vermin account for a 4 per cent
loss. Pennsylvania corn, wheat
oats, barley, rye and buckwheat
crops of 1946 were valued at nearly
$175,600,000.
Secretary Horst
against rat damage include rat-
tight bins, careful use of poison
baits, the keeping of active cats and
dogs and destruction of ‘rat breed-
