MICE INJURE
FOREST TREES
Little Rodents Gnaw Bark of Ca
ta1pa and Mulberry Which
Frequently Results In a
Complete GtrdIe.
(By R. G. wEATHERsToNE)


For some years catalpa, mulberry
and other trees commonly grown have
suffered considerable injury by the
attacks Of field mice. These rodents
gnaw the bark about the base Of the
trees to a greater or less degree. which
frequently results in complete gir-
die. When girdling occurs below the
root crowns the trees usually die.
There are no practical means of ex-
terminating field mice. although Ger.
tain operations are helpful in prevent
Ing their attacks on trees. 1t has been
observed that injury is greater and
more general when dead grass, mulch
or debris of any kind lies close to the
trees. Material of this nature affords
harboring place, from under which
cover mice prefer to operate. All
grass or mulch material of any kind
should be raked away from the trees
for a radius of at least two feet, leav-
ing the ground as bare as possible.
Where mulch culture is used foot or
two above each tree should be left
bare. Injury is more severe on those
trees whose root systems set forth on

STRAWBERRIES MAKE GOOD
ADDITION TO VEGETABLES
Up-to-Date Methods Growing
Large Returns-Grocers
Housekeepers Want Choice Berries.

Of fruit or vegetables, and like the
doctor, the more patience we have
the more money we make.
Soil which has grown vegetables Is
generally sufficiently fertile to pro-
duce large yield of strawberries.
Soil in which potatoes have been
grown is ideal.
Strawberries and vegetables can be
sold from the same wagon at the
same time, and II you have berries
of high quality It will aid you in SELL
ing. your vegetables. because fancy
grocers always are on the lookout for
fruit of the choicest quality. The
same is true of the commission mer-
chant. and II you sell to private fami-
lies you will find the housekeeper
wants the best.
To the gardener who has never
grown Strawberries, but would like to
combine them with his vegetable bust
ness let me suggest that you begin in
small way, and increase your acre
age as experience and local condi-
tions may justify you in doing.
Mduy COIuuuSTCldI 6dTO0ueIb Know
from experience that Strawberries
make profitable addition to their
vegetable business. No other crop
with which have ever had any expe-
rience will yield as many dollars per
acre, and do 1t in so short a time, as
Strawberries. 1t is not an uncommon
thing to get reports from growers who
are realizing anywhere from $500,
$500. $1,000 to $500 per acre each
year from their Strawberries. Reports
of the larger quantities generally
come from strawberry growers who
have the advantage of long fruiting
season. Last winter, while studying
the conditions and possibilities of
strawberry growing In the south,
met men in southern Texas who told
me that their Strawberries made them
from $500 to $1,000 per acre each
year. On the Pacific coast and in the
inter-mountain states. met men who
were doing even better than this.
In Michigan. my own state, many
growers are realizing from $500 to
$500; in Minnesota some growers re-
port equal results. and the same Is
true In the east. In fact, in all states,
the growers who are following inten-
sive methods are making splendid
showings and all seem to be more
than satisfied.
