That la the actual value of the grain, vege

every year in the United States by rats and mice.
More than two dollars for each man, woman and
child in the country.
The farmers and gardeners are standing the
great bulk of this loss.
Some of you are losing enough every year to
pay all your taxes. 3fou could clothe one of your
children or buy your supply of gasoline for your
automobile on the proceeds of the products the
rats destroy.
Don’t feed the rats, kill them.
