FX-RANCHFR'S TACTICS ARE
GOOD RAT EXTERMINATORS
Fx-remcher Cappy Kaplan, at
Florin. keeps right on corralling
four legged animals, but his eastern
methods differ from the west. He's
concocted a better rat trap and the
rodents heat a path to his door.
As proof we saw several night's
catches, one thirty-six and one
twenty-two.
His method is simple in the ex-
treme, vet it works night 4fter
night. In the bottom of an empty
50-gal. oil drum, he puts several
inches of corn. Then the barrel is
placed against the wall of the
chicken house, just where an en-
clined rafter makes an easy walk-
up for the rats. When they reach
the barrel top they jump in to eat
corn and the height of the barrel
prevents their exit.
Execution of the squirming, fight-
ing mass is carried out by Cappy
and Tom Bronson, his capable part-
ner, who “lasso” the individuals
with a loop of wire, attached to a
broom stick, thereby giving a quick
pull and choking the erifters.
