MICE NJURE
FOREST TREES
During Winter Months LittIe
Rodents Cnaw BARK About Base
Of Tress Which Frequently
Results IN Complete Girdle.

CBy CHAs. 4. THORNE. Ohio Agricul-
tural Experiment Station.D
For come years catalpa, mulberry
and other trees commonly grown. have
suffered considerable injury by the at.
tacks Of field mice. During the win.
ter months these rodents gnaw the
bark about the base Of the
tree to a greater or less degree,
which frequently results In n complete
girdle. When girdling occurs below
the root crown the trees usually die.
The amount OF injury varies with the
severity OF the winter. although q sea.
son rarely passes without reports of
occurrence. During the winter of
1s0s-1o. characterized by deep SHOWS
and severe cold. ravages to an extent
heretofore unknown were reported
from all sections of the state.
There are no practical means of
exterminating field mice. although GER
tain operations are helpful in pre-
venting their attacks on trees. II has
been observed that injury is greater
and more general where dead grass,
mulch or debris of any kind lies close
to the trees. Material OF this nature az
fords the harboring place. from under
which cover mice prefer TO operate.
Before winter sets In all grass or
mulch material of any kind should be
raked away from the trees for a ra-
illus Of at least two feet, leaving the
ground as bare as possible. Where
mulch culture is used foot or two
about each tree should be left bare.
Injury is more severe on those trees
whose root systems set high on the
ground: that is. In cases where freez.
ing and thawing have caused heaving.
Such trees afford cavities in which
mice harbor. and complete girdles
usually results fatally IL below the
point where root and stem join. Throw

The best time to prune, in, this Sec
ton is after the severe weather of
winter is past and from then on to
the middle of May. with the exception
Of the brief period just at the feafing-
out time when the tree is liable to
bleed badly. SIM
For Iowa conditions a low-headed
tree is to be desired for a number of
reasons. The fruit is much easier to
pick, the spraying can be done more
thoroughly, there are less windfalls,
and the tree Is also less liable to sun
scald. The first branches should be
formed 20 to "a inches above the
ground. If the tree is headed too high
when it comes from the nursery it
can be cut back, removing the stem
at about the point where it is desired
that the first branches shall appear.
Low-headed trees are sometimes OBJ
jected to on the ground that they are
difficult to cultivate under. < In this
connection, we would call attention to
the fact that many growers make a
far more laborious and difficult opera
ton of cultivating than is necessary
or desirable. The bulk of the feeding
roots of the trees are in zone at
about the end Of the branches and in
the space between the rows. 1t is this
area that should be cultivated. There
is little advantage in cultivating up
close around the stem of a large tree
as the feeding roots are not within
this area The main object of cultiya-
ton can be attained by keeping the
middles and short distance back I'M
