better for small areas and the dry alfalfa
for large districts. The green shoots are
specially valuable for destroying the
mice along irrigating bitches and about
the borders OF fields during periods of
irrigation in summer.
In fields from which some Of the mice
had migrated, leaving thousands Of old
and unoccupied burrows still scattered
among the occupied ones, it was found
practicable to run a brush drag over the
land, obhterating the entrances to all
the burrows. Then, shortly, the mice
came out, opened the occupied bur
rows, and the matter of placing poison
was much simplifed and cheapened.
