Newest Drug
Rids Oregon
Town of Rats
HALSEY, Ore.—Halsey, located
about 85 miles south of Portland,
once plagued by rats, today hasn’t
a rodent in the community. It is
all due to a new drug called War
farin.
The village of 400 is a shopping
center for surrounding farms, most
ly producing grass seeds. And it had
six combination seed store-mills
which attracted rats. Of 181 build
ings in Halsey, 147 were infested.
In fact, rats just about had a free
awing in the town. Twelve of 18
business establishments were in
fested; the town’s four restaurants
and grocery stores had rats; all six
seed store-mills had many visitors;
108 of the 130 residences were
plagued and of 23 other buildings,
such as churches and lodge halls,
10 supported rodents.
For this reason the community
was chosen for a six-month field
test to see if the drug Warfarin
would clear out rodents. Warfarin
Is obtained from a chemical called
di-cumoral. It keeps blood from co
agulating.
Buffer Strip Set Up
Given to a rat the rodent’s small
blood vessels start to leak and even
tually he dies of internal hemor
rhage. Since no nerves are involved
the rat doesn’t get the idea he’s been
poisoned after he has eaten War
farin. He just becomes weaker and
Weaker and generally goes back to
his burrow to keep warm and then
dies.
The Halsey campaign started by
making a buffer strip around the
town with bait stations under all
outside buildings.
Six or seven old barns, out of
use, were torn down to reduce nest
ing places. Rubble was cleaned up;
chicken feed was covered. One feed
store cleaned out a big blackberry
patch which had been a hiding place
for the rats.
Milton H. Buehler, Jr., the rodent
control expert, recalls, “Why, be
fore we started our experiment,
you could stand in the door of one
feed mill and see the rat runways
for a block and a half away. They
had worn the grass right down into
• path."
After the first 30 days, only one
rat was sighted and by late fall no
rats or traces were found for sev
eral months.
Check System Established
Now that the community is rat
conscious, it has set up a watch
system. The night watchman checks
the buffer strips to see they are
baited. That’s to keep out fll out-of-
town rats. But if anybody hears a
rat or sees any traces inside the
buffer zone, he notifies one of the
town’s three grocers or the mayor.
Then the night watchman baits the
spot.
As a result of the experiment, ratr
fighters believe that in Warfarin
ttiey have a weapon that can be
widely used. It is very effective on
rats and mice, but is not too toxic
on humans and other animals.
Mr. Buehler reports each rat will
do $20 to $30 damage a year and
will eat up $3 in feed He stresses
the importance of vigilant control,
emphasizing the fecundity of rats.
A female rat starts having litters of
six to 10 young when three and a
half to four months old And if. well-
fed with good harborage, she will
have from six to eight litters yearly
Rip and Tuck Former
Name of Small Town
EVERETT, W Va.—The 200 resi
dents of Everett have a feud with
the United States Post Office de
partment. It’s all over the name of
their town *
To the inhabitants the commu
nity is known as “Rip and Tuck”
That was the official name until a
few years ago when a group of
residents petitioned the post master
general for the change tc Everett
The situation remains static. The
natives calling the town Rip and
Tuck and the Post Office calling it
Everett.
Old residents have two main
theories about how the little com
munity originally got its name.
One says that after a flood around
1900, an old man described the
rampage of the local creek thus:
'The creek came-a-rippin’ and a-
tuckin’ down through this here
valley.”
However, a more fanciful explana
tion concerns two well-known old
maids, one tall and the other short,
who once lived here It is said they
had only one good dress between
them. When the tall one wanted to
wear it, the hem had to be ripped
out. When the short one used it, the
hem was tucked up.
Town Orders Picture
Windows in All Bars
HENRYETTA, Okla.—The people
of Henryetta are determined to know
what’s going on. The town council
recently passed an ordinance re
quiring ail tavern and pool-hall own
ers to install picture windows in
their establishments.
The council took that action aft
er Police Chief Tom Liddell was
knocked unconscious and hospital
ized after walking into a Main Street
tavern
“We want to know what’s going on
in there,” Liddell said. “If they’re
not ashamed of what they’re doing
they’ll co-operate with 'jg.”
Funeral
Ex-Farmer to Repeat
BURLINGTON, Col.—The peo
ple of Burlington are in for an
other show—and many of them
don’t like it. Jim Gernhard is
planning a repeat performance of
his own “funeral”.
Gernhard, who will be 75 in
June, presided over his own
“funeral” last year. It cost him
an estimated $15,000 which in
cluded a $4,000 copper coffin,
$2,500 granite monument and in
cidentals. The coffin is stored in
his basement.
“Don’t think it will be near as
big a blowout as it was last
time,” he said of this year’s
event. “Those big funerals are
mighty tiring, you know ... a
man can’t take just so much of
them.” .
A retired farmer, Gernhard ran
into mild opposition last year.
He said he held the “funeral”
partly to make sure he wasn’t
buried like a dog, and partly to
spend some of his estimated $75,-
000 fortune before his death “so
that relatives won’t get it”.
Pennsylvania Town
Prospers on Hunch
Of Once Poor Farmer
RENOVO, Pa.—Dorcie Calhoun,
two years ago an impoverished
farmer, today is the Horatio Alger
of the booming community of Ren
ovo.
He was the man who believed
there was natural gas in the area
and he drilled a 5,000 foot hole into
the ground 20 miles northwest of
the community. It turned out to be
the discovery well for the Leidy
field, Pennsylvania’s biggest natural
gas strike in many years.
Now, the farmer-turned-natural-
gas-expert drives around town in a
custom-built sedan, which he re
places regularly. His pockets bulge
with new contracts.
Calhoun’s good fortune, however,
was not without its trials. For two
years he tried to persuade other
persons to buy stock in his venture
—a hunch hole he planned to drill -
A few listened and agreed. Those
who did have received $1,350 for
every $100 they invested.
There are 65 producing wells in
the field now. One has been meas
ured at a flow of 150 million cubic
feet daily, thought to be the largest
in existence.
Other drilling outfits have moved
in seeking to tap the rich natural
gas from its bed in the layer of Oris
kany sands which spreads in five di
rections through the area. Four
cross-country pipelines are sucking
; the gas to distant cities for fuel and
heat.
Although the entire town of Ren-
ovo has benefited from the find, in
vestors and land owners have
reaped the greatest rewards. Some
people who owned wilderness camp
sites or almost barren farmland
have struck it rich.
Geologists estimate there’s enough
gas to flow for seven more years
And meanwhile, more well derricks
keep going up throughout the region.
Home Town Goes All-Out
To Welcome Carlsen
WOODBRIDGE, N.J.—The home
town of Capt. Kurt Carlsen couldn’t
match the ticker tape blizzard that •
poured on the reluctant hero in
New York, but it still welcomed him
home with the biggest celebration in
its 238 >ear history. Nearly 100,000
persons—friends, neighbors, well
wishers—crowded into the commu
nity to welcome the skipper of the
Flying Enterprise.
They trimmed the town in candy
striped ribbons, staked out flags,
waved balloons and banners, closed
the stores and cheered the skipper
as he rode through the quiet, tree
lined streets.
During the parade, which lasted
an hour and a half, factory whistles
screamed, bells toiled and people
lined the parade route to see the
man who fought the Atlantic for
15 days in a futile effort to save
his vessel.
At the municipal building on Main
Street the governor of New Jersey,
Alfred E. Driscoll delivered the
welcoming address.
During the parade, Carlsen said:
*Tve never seen anything like it.
The parade In New York was ter
rific, but this is something special.
This is my home town. These are
my people.”
Sixteen bands and many other
marching units joined in making
the welcpme the best officials could
produce'in the community which
once won the title of ”typicaj
American town.”

of Greenwood, which has served the
rich peanut and livestock commu
nity for 43 years, is going out of
business.
“We’re old, we're tired, we’ve got
the money to pay everybody 100 per
cent, so we’re going to do it while
we can and rest some,” said R. A.
Willis, president.
“We were bom 30 years too soon
We can’t fight the battle like it is.

It was the first Florida bank to

Deposits amounted to $400,000.
TELEVISION DISCOVERS MAIN STREET
TV Industry Plans Grassroots Expansion
(This is the first of a series of three
articles on the coming of a nationwide
television service.)
The television industry is on the
threshold of a vast new expansion
program, a sweep across the grass
roots of America. It is ready to
bring the glittering lights of Broad
way, the dramas of Shakespeare
and Shaw, the impromptu debates
of world statesmen onto the illumi
nated screens of homes in every
section of the nation.
Television today is a regional
service, confined mainly to the
major population centers. But the
way is being cleared by the govern
ment for television to become as
much a household commodity as
radio.
The foundation has , been pre
pared. A chain of microwave radio
relay towers and a set of coaxial
cables now carry video signals
coast to coast and into sixty major
market areas. And science has
devised a means of broadcasting
these signals over a new section of
the air waves, as well as those now
in use, to the farmer, the rancher
and the village miles removed
from present TV stations.
Because of this scientific develop
ment, the government has proposed
the licensing of nearly 2,000 new
television stations. Towns like
Broken Bow, Neb.; Elroy, Ariz.;
and Bad Axe, Mich., might soon
enjoy the same visual programs
that millions watch today in New
York, Chicago and Los Angeles.
Nationwide Service
In the opinion of Dr. C. B. Jol-
liffe, vice president and techni
cal director of the Radio Corpora
tion of America, this scientific
achievement can mean “the advent
of a truly nationwide television
service, a service that will provide
the Main Streets of America with
the same entertainment, education
and information programs that
more densely populated areas have
known for several years.”
In terms of specific programs, it
means that comedians like Jimmy
Durante, Martin and Lewis, Milton
Berle, Bob Hope and Herb Shriner
can become regular visitors to
homes in villages, cities and even
entire states where no video signal
now reaches.
It can mean an intimate look at
statesmen and politicans through
such programs as “Meet the
Press,” “America’s Forum Of The
Air,” and Edwar'd R. Murrow’s
"See It Now.” It can mean great
drama through the “Television
PlayHouse,” and great music on
various televised symphonies and
operas, such as NBC’s “Amahl And
The Night Visitors.” It can mean
early evening entertainment for
the children with “Howdy Doody”
and “Kukla, Fran and Ollie.”
And it can mean that all these
programs will come forth on home
screens with the same picture fi
delity and clarity as in the estab
lished television centers of the na
tion. For there can be enough sta
tions to bring a full strength video
signal within range of nearly every
one.
The Frequency-Allocation plan
for this dramatic expansion was
deve’onsd by the Federal Com
munications Commission, which is
ixie government’s regulatory agency
for all wireless services. It tenta
tively pinpointed the location for
each of nearly 2,000 stations as a
first step toward offering TV sta
tions licenses to these communities.
Pioneering Science
Behind this government action is
a colorful tale of pioneering explor-
a* { on by the scientist and engineers
mam
THIS IS IT! Frank M. Folsom (left), president of the Radio
Corporation of America, points oat «a “Bow Tie” UHF receiving
antenna to Wayne Coy, former chairman of the Federal Communica
tions Commission, daring a visit to the experimental UHF station
near Bridgeport, Conn. *
of a privately owned-American in
dustry. For years they probed into
the mysterious upper regions of
the radio spectrum — some scien
tists call it the “antarctic” of the
.air waves — and they determined
that television signals could be
transmitted successfully through
this untapped region.
This was their answer to the
fear that has haunted the industry
and the government ever since
television began its post war ex
pansion—the fear of overcrowd
ing the air waves.
For television, like radio and
other wireless services, requires
channels in the air waves. If two
stations using the same channels
are near one another, their signals
will conflict. That’s why the FCC
decided in 1948 to halt new station
construction until more channels
were available.
All the stations functioning today
are confined to a relatively nar
row band of the spectrum known as
the Very High Frequency Range
(V.H.F.) It has only twelve chan
nels for telecasts, not enough to
provide blanket coverage.
So the scientists went after the
upper regions of radio space, the
antarctic known as Ultra-High Fre
quency (U.H.F.) — and they un
covered a rich lode. Seventy chan
nels which could handle UHF tele
casts! Together with VHF this
would provide enough room for
everybody! , ,
Ready for Field Tests
The bulk of this intensive re
search campaign was handled by
scientists and engineers of the R4-
dio Corporation of America, and its
affiliate, the National Broadcasting
Company. Even before the war,
they had worked on transmissions
in the UHF range, and by late 1949
they were ready to begin regular
field tests.
Their selection of a site for the
experiment was Bridgeport, Conn.,
55 miles from New York City, a
city with a population of just over
200,000. It is in the fringe reception
area for television stations broad
casting out of New York. A UHF
station here with special receiving
antennas could pick up regular tel
ecasts from station WNBT in New
York and rebroadcast them to UHF
sets in scattered homes in the
area. Since the countryside is hilly,
it produces the most difficult pos
sible conditions for commercial
broadcasting.

It was for these reasons that the
first and only UHF station in the
country now operating on a regular
basis, KC2XAK, was located on a
hill on Stratford, Conn., just outside
of Bridgeport. Designed and built
by RCA, it started broadcasting
Dec. 30; 1949,. under the supervision
of O. B. Hanson, NBC’s vice presi
dent in charge of engineering. RCA
built UHF receivers and UHF con
verters for present VHF sets and
they were placed in 50 homes in the
Bridgeport area. Reports, graphs
and charts on performance were
compiled and forwarded to the FCC
and made available to the entire
industry.
Basic Findings
Finally, after conclusive studies
of UHF, the teams announced
these findings:
1. Properly used and properly al
located, television reception on
UHF can be just as clear and
stable as on VHF. In some instan
ces it is even better, for UHF pic
tures are not bothered by nearby
x-ray equipment, auto ignitions,
neon signs, or heme appliances,^
which have been known to play hob
with VHF pictures.
2. Present television sets can be
readily adapted to receive both
UHF and VHF telecasts. (RCA has
already demonstrated a small, sim
ple UHF converter which can be
easily attached to*present sets.)
3. Color television can be broad
cast on UHF frequencies.
The FCC based its UHF plan
largely on knowledge garnered
from the field tests conducted at
Bridgeport.
UHF is a new symbol of Ameri-
c#’$ pioneering spirit. It is a key
to a new era, an era when all of
America will be bound together
closer than ever before through a
visual medium that brings people
and events to life.
Does grassroots America want
television? In the opinion of Dr.
Jolliffe, it wants it just as much
as anyone else.
“Make no mistake”, he says,
“Main Street is just as anxious for
television as Broadway—perhaps
more so. For Broadway has its
shows and its lights. But for the liv
ing presence to be brought to the
sitting room in a lonely farmhouse
miles from the nearest city—that
is truly pushing back the horizons
of entertainment and education.”
Large sections of Western, Cen
tral and Southern United States
have no television. Fifteen states
were caught in the “freeze” on TV
station construction which was im
posed by the Federal Communica
tions Commission in 1948. A dozen
others are being covered by a
single station.
Many of these states, like North
Dakota and Montana, cannot even
pick up the video signals of neigh
boring states because the nearest
stations are out of television range
For millions of Americans tele
vision has been just something to
read about in newspapers and mag
azines, or something to look at
briefly on trips to the East c * West
Coasts.
Now this pattern of regional tele
vision is on the verge of abolition.
Like the capillaries in the human
body, video signals will soon begin
coursing from the main channels
of the visual broadcast industry
into the remotest regions of the na
tion. The people of Cut Bank and
Deer Lodge, Mont., may soon have
the opportunity to see national net
work television shows — and on
their own stations, not those of
neighboring communities.

Joe Gets
Into Trouble
By M. J. Collins
I T was about six-thirty and Jenny
and I were eating supper. The
phone had rung several times but,
it being a rural line with nine par
ties on it we didn’t even bother to
listen.
- ■! “That was our
3 -r.linufe ring!” Jenny sud-
c . .. denly exclaimep.
rlSIlOn j answered the
phone.
“Your Uncle Joe went to town
this morning and he ain’t back.”
It was Aunt Martha and she
sounded a bit worried.
"Maybe he had' trouble with his
car. What was he in town for?”
“Took four fat hogs to market.”
“Perhaps you should have gone
with him.”
“The last time he took pigs to
the market, they didn’t want to
stay in the trailer so he made me
get in with them and if you think
that’s a nice way for a woman to
ride to town—I don’t!”
v Hardly had I hung up the re
ceiver when Aunt Martha’s num

“Now don’t get so excited,” I
soothed. “I’ll be right over.”
The miscreant was stretched

opened the ceU door.
“Huh!” Aunt Martha sniffed, “The

Joe.
W HEN we reached their place I

Uncle Joe was just beginning to

“Huh! A fine way to account for

“Did he git my money?” He sud
denly remembered it.
“Well, you haven’t got It if that's

formed him tartly. “Here, you get
back into bed, you’re wobbly, and
let me have a look at your head.”
Still growling and protesting he
did as he was bid.
"Now you, Joe Quinn, stay quiet!”
She wagged a finger under his nose.
“I’ll get something for your bump
and your supper also.”
Aunt Martha grinned at me as we
went out to the kitchen. A car
pulled up by the door.
“Good heavens!” she cried with
dismay, “It’s Mr. Morrison, the min
ister! Everything is’in a mess—and
the condition Joe’s in—! You keep
mum, Joe Quinn, I’ll shut the door
and he won’t know anything about
you.”
“I won’t stay quiet,” Uncle
Joe cried, “You can’t treat me
like a culprit. C’mon in!” Uncle
Joe yelled at the top of his voice.
“Well, Joe, you certainly had a
spot of trouble,” Mr. Morrison said
when he came into the room. “That
bottle must have been strong stuff.”
Aunt Martha gasped.
Mr. Morrison dug into his pocket
and brought out a pocketbook.
“Where’d you get that?”
“Well, Joe. the man that hit you
with that bottle and robbed you ha,d
a very bad accident and I was
called. I’m glad to be a help to both
of you,” he said handing him his
pocketbook.
By that time Uncle Joe nad a grin

in his eyes that Aunt Martha would
have to dance attendance on him t<

Farm Welder Becomes
Standard Equipment
Quick Repairs Reduce
Loss of Time and Profit
The welder is fast becoming
standard farm equipment. It an
swers the farmers prayers for quick
repair jobs that would otherwise
mean a great loss of time and prof
it. It is also being used to make
equipment that means greater pro
duction.
As an example, one corn belt
farmer used his welder to construct
the inclined plane, portable eleva
tor shown in the above picture. The
conveyor, which has a large hopper
at the ground «nd? is operated by a
44 horsepower electric motor.
In order to provide electric serv
ice for cribs which might be lo
cated at some distance from the
bam, the farmer built a portable
reel on which he wound about 100
feet of cable! This gives him an
“extension cord” of the proper
strength to carry the current needed
from a 230-volt outlet in the ba-rv
On the work side of production, j
he discovered that little more labor |
was needed to Increase his yield.
Figuring this out on a dollar and
cents basis, labor costs, on ,a 4p
bushel yield, are about 25 cents a
bushel, whereas on lOO-bushel yields
the cost is just 10 cents per bushel
—the selling price having taken
care of the differential in labor
rates.
Many a farm welding outfit has
paid for itself during harvest time
when quick repairs v ere made to

SCS Report Stresses
Conservation Progress
The rapid progress in soil con
servation for the last. 20 years is
the Jceynote of the annual report of
the Soil Conservation Service for the
1951 fiscal year. The report also em-
ph^sized the need for soil conserva
tion to aid the current mobilization
effort and stresses* the fact that to
tal conservation is essential
Tremendous progress has been
made in the science and practical
application of soil and water con
servation during the last two dec
ades.
The service helped 128,502 farm
ers and ranchers develop conserva
tion plans on 36,259,299 acres last
year. -This brought the total as of
June 30. 1951, to 883,348 plans cov
ering 2*6,740,009 acres of land.
There are now about 2,400 organ
ized soil conservation districts oper
ated by farmers and ranchers under
state laws. The survey spent a to
tal of some 64 million dollars for the
fiscal year. 'Of this amount, about
52 million was for regular operations
in soil conservation districts. About
seven million was used for flood
control work. About one and a half
million was for research.

lars, picked some 200 bales of
cotton in one day. The machines,

equivalent to a gift of $9000 to
the ranch.

want Nu-Maid, the modern mar
