Nation's war on rats shows results across U.S.
The United States Department of Agriculture reports a decline in rat numbers as sanitary standards building improvements and waste reduction curb food and shelter sources. The Farmers Bulletin 153%-F on Rat Control by James Silver outlines methods including rat-proofing, removal of shelter, food restriction, poisoning, fumigation, and deterrents. A community-wide effort is urged with support from the Biological Survey to plan organize and publicize antirat campaigns. Franklin County note about long-married couples appears as a local aside.
