Roval C. Steadman, the man who for 23 years has made models and pictures for the American Department of Agriculture files and bulletins, reports in the “Christian Science Monitor,” that one of his paintings was so lifelike it fooled even the rats. “I finished a painting of an apple, cut in half and showing seeds exposed,” Steadman said. “I put it on a window sill to dry. The next morning I found it on the floor with tracks of rats ever it and the painted seeds eaten off.”
