Irreelstable Bait for Rats in Washington News
A Washington dispatch to the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette notes Captain Weodin reports no major discovery in eradicating rats. Rats once gnawed through a storeroom drawer containing seeds used to feed birds, prompting a trapless method turning six to eight rats into weasels and minks cages for quick kills.

Marvel Seed to Fetch Record Price in South Georgia
A Georgia farmer, Jackson, cultivates a rare leafless cotton with stalks eight to twelve feet high. South Georgia farmers offer up to $18,000 for twenty bushels of seed, with plans to plant nationwide and potentially ruin cotton markets. The seed came from Africa via an explorer, and Jackson aims to prove the crop’s vast value while facing offers from many buyers. Potential production could double farmer income, though some buyers intend to destroy the seed rather than plant it. The seed’s uniqueness and high demand spark nationwide interest and bold price quotes.
