BARIUM POISONOUS TO RATS
MAKES SATISFACTORY BAIT
A study of barium carbonate a;: a
y rat poison, made by the United States
Department of Agriculture , indicates
that a 20 per cent mixture with food
makes a satisfactory bait. With the
percentage a rat ordinal ly needs to
eat only one-third or three-eie'hths of
a meal of overage size to '-get a fatal
dose. It was found that with this dose
many of the rats poisoned died with¬
in 24 hours, though an occasional rat
was found which survived an cvi a
larger amount, thus indicating that
100 per cent mortality is not to be
expected in any case.
A summary of results of ■ xp ri
ments conducted by various persons
with u view to determining the di ad
liness of barium to different animals
shows the fallacy of the assumption
that barium is poisonous only to rats.
It is pointed out that the fatal dose
of barium per pound tends to de¬
crease relatively as the size of th<
animal increases, and that, a bait cal¬
culated to be fatal to rats may be as¬
sumed to be more or less dangerous
to small domestic animals also.

CUT COTTON COST
BY .MAKING FOOD
Southern Farm Prosperity Absolutely
Dependent on Cutting Produc¬
tion Cost Through Food
Making and Saving.
Atlanta, Ga.—(Special.)—"A right-,
about-face movement In 1921 is neces¬
sary It the farmers of the South are
to get on safe, firm ground again,”
said H. G. Hastings, President of the
great Southeastern Fair.
“It looks as if we all went cotton
crasy last spring, despite all the dan¬
ger signals flying and the disregard
of plain facts as to costs of cotton
production. We have repeated our fol¬
lies of 19X1 and 1914 and piled up
debts based on costly food ami-grain
to be puid for by cotton that is now
below cost of production. those’
<« With few exceptions items
of food and grain could and should
have been produced on home acres
at one-third to one-half what the sup¬
ply merchant charges for them.
“Cotton is the oue best money crop
for the South, and probably always
will be. The time of war prices is
over and the problem from now on is
to lower cost of production and at the
same time afford the cotton grower a
fair profit. primarily
"Cost of making cotton is
the cost of food, grain and forage
for the farmer, his family, his labor¬
ers or tenants, and his work stock.
Cutting food, grain ami forage costs
by home, production will reduce cot¬
ton costa from one-third to one-half.
“Plant for an -oundance of food.
, grain and forage, thus cutting down
■tore bills, and the lower prices for
cotton will not hurt so much. Wo can¬
not, with European countries so thor¬
oughly disorganized, reasonably expect
high prices for cotton for several yfears
and we must make cotton at lower
coat, pr else quit cotton growing.
“Most of us cannot quit cotton,
hence the absolute necessity of food,
grain and forage planting in 1921—
the making on home acres of every
pound of food and grain needed to see
us through.
“In this food production program,
take the home vegetable gardeu seri
ously. Give the home garden a square
deal and it will surprise you in the
amount of healthful food produced. It
takes the least ground, can be plant¬
ed the earliest, brings quick returns
and if kept replanted and worked will
•tag by you all the aeaaou through.”
