t revolutionizing the rodent poison 
siness. Its name is ‘“‘Warfarin.’’ When 
sills whole colonies of rats and mice, 
, permanently and inexpensively! 
ant. to tell you about it. 
Developed by Univ. of Wisconsin 
The almost miracle-working Warfarin 
ae § developed by the University of Wis- 
— consin, after. work was begun seventeen 
- years ago by Dr. Karl Paul Link of the 
_ biochemistry department. Dr. Link was 
working on the cause of “‘Sweet Clover 
- Disease’”’ in cattle and noticed that moldy 
sweet clover hay contained a powerful 
- anti-coagulant. From this first basic dis- 
covery, work, progressed and just last 
summer, through the University of Wis- 
 eonsin Alumni Research Foundation, 
Warfarin was released for general dis- 
tribution. 
_ Rats Hemorrhage Internally 
4 The reason that Warfarin is such an ef- 
fective poison is that it is an anti-coagu- 
ql lant—very similar to the one Dr. Link 
first discovered in sweet clover. Being an 
anti-coagulant, it causes the rodents to 
bleed to death internally. Poisoned rats 
usually show no immediate effects be- 
cause Warfarin is absorbed slowly into 
the body tissues. It takes often up to 14 
days but, when used as directed, the poi- 
son never fails. The rats die slowly and 
painlessly ... but surely! 
Seog: Many Advantages 
| There are several distinct advantages 
that Warfarin has over other types of ro- 
dent killers. First, it is much less hazard- 
ous to use than the others from the stand- 
point of danger to humans, livestock, pets 
and poultry. Second, as we have men- 
tioned, Warfarin is effective against’ both 
+1 Tats and mice. You don’t have to bother 
_ with two different poisons. Third, War- 
 farin is odorless and tasteless and there- 
fore the rodents do not get wise to the 
fact that it is being hidden in certain baits 
(such as cornmeal or ground oats). Asa 
result the rodents do not develop “bait 
shyness.” Fourth, Warfarin kills slowly. 
Other poisons kill so rapidly that dead 
and dying rats serve as a warning to the 
rest of the colony. -Warfarin does not 
- - warn rodents in this way. 
‘ Results Are Miraculous 
All in all, the results of Warfarin are 
nothing less than miraculous. Its exten-

satisfactory eradication in 85 to 90% of 
the experiments! Today it is being rec- 
ommended by state colleges, by the U. S. 
Public Health Service, by the Fish and 
Wildlife Service, by the National Pest 
- Control Assn., by farm leaders, and many, 
many others. They are recommending it 
not only for farm use, but for use in 
~ homes, schools, churches, hospitals, ware- 
houses, office buildings, restaurants, ete.

Without a doubt, Warfarin is the 
effective rodent killer on the market 
-- and in time, may replace all others.

Healthy, Husky Chicks 
“Dear Mrs. Field: Received my chicks 
March 8. They are doing fine; never had. 
such healthy, husky chicks. They arrived 
100% alive. Thanks for your prompt de- 
livery. Will write again later on.’’—Mrs, 
Charley J. Russell, Muldrow, Okla. 
Bobbie Knows Her Beans } 
“Dear Friends: I am sending you a pi 
ture of our little friend, Bobbie Lae, 
from Phoenix, Arizona, who visited us last 
summer. She is picking Kentucky Won- 
der Wax beans, grown from seed we 
bought from your house last spring. Never 
saw such wonderful beans. The vines 
were *just loaded with tender beans all 
summer and fall.’”,—Mrs. Cc. C. Raines, 
- Star Rt. 2, Greenfield, Mo. 
Giant Castor Bean 
“Dear Mrs. Field: Here is a picture of 
my mother, Mrs. Bessie Gilbert of Omaha, 
Ark., with a giant'castor bean plant. Itis 
the largest one I have ever seen. We or- 
dered the seed from you and it has proven, 
as has all the rest of Henry Field seeds, 
the best. Weare really sold on your 
seeds. Would like to surprise my mother 
with her picture in Seed Sense, as she al- 
ways reads it.’’—Vicie Gilbert, Harrison, 
Ark, 
About Inoculation 
We get hundreds of letters each year 
asking whether inoculating garden seed 
with “Nitragin’” pays. The answer is, 
YES, DECIDEDLY, YES. It is only of 
value on garden peas, beans and Sweet ~ 
Peas, but on these it makes a world of 
difference in the vigor of the plant and the 
amount of yield. If you doubt it, plant 
some peas or beans with inoculant, and 
right beside them some not inoculated. 
You’ll see the difference. We sell many 
thousands of packets each year. A 15¢ 
pkt. is enough for the average gardener 
as 1 pkt. treats 5 1b. of seed. Easy to ap- 
ply. Full directions on the packet. 
No. 4015S—Nitragin. Pkt. 15c, postpaid.

Evergreen Bittersweet Shrub 
Here is an item which you folks, par- 
ticularly those of you south of Shenan- 
doah, ought to enjoy. Its real name is 
Euonymus radicaus erecta, an awful 
mouthful, so we call it Evergreen Bitter- 
sweet Shrub. It is a small, broad leafed, 
evergreen shrub (that is, its leaves stay 
on 12 months out of the year), and is 
closely related to the Wintergreen Creep- 
ers that climb on buildings so beautifully. 
However, this variety does not climb. 
Grows into a nice compact rounded 
shrub, getting 2 to 3 ft. high and usually 
about 2 ft. wide. Its leaves are small and 
glossy dark green. We think in protected 
places this plant would be hardy even 
north of Shenandoah. In fact, we know 
it would be if given adequate protection. 
A lot of people use the plant as a low 
trimmed hedge and it makes a beauty. If 
you folks are wanting something along 
this evergreen shrub line, order our Ever- 
green Bittersweet Shrub. We know it 
will please you. Price: 98c each; 8 for 
$2.79, postpaid. The Order No. is A1427S,
