INJURY DONE BY FIELD MICE
When There ls Winter Of Deep Shows
and Severe Cold There is Great
Loss From These Pests.

This matter of injury to orchards
by field mice deserve more than a
passing notice. Every year there is
more or less injury done by these
rodents. When we have winter of
deep SHOWS and severe colds there Is
great loss sustained from these
pests.
We have no practical means Of ex-
terminating field mice, but there are
certain operations that are helpful
In preventing their attacks on trees.
1t 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 affords q
harboring place, from under which
cover mice prefer to operate. Before
winter sets In all grass or mulch ma
terial Of any kind should be raked
away from the trees for at least q
radius Of two feet, leaving the ground
as bare as possible. Where mulch
culture is used a foot or two about
each tree should be left bare.
Injury is more severe on those trees
whose root systems are high ON the
ground; that Is, in cases where freex-
ing and thawing have caused heaving.
Such trees afford cavities in which
mice harbor, and girdling usually re-
suits fatally If below the point where
root and stem join. Throwing few
shovelfuls of dirt about the base Of
the trees has proven very beneficial
in this respect.
There are some things that we can
do to hold the field mice in check.
such as putting poisoned bats under
the mulch in the strawberry patch for
them to get, then remove all other
harbors In the orchard, such as
stumps, tufts of grass, ETC., and II by
this means we force them all to the
berry for winter quarters we have
them where, no doubt, we can get
them with poison more readily than
II they harbored all over the orchard.

Madrid Capitalist Killed

Madrid, Sept. Hugh Lemmer. a
retired capitalist, died Saturday after
noon from injuries received in an au.

afternoon.
Mr.. Lemmer, in company with S. L..
Miles, of Madrid, was driving to Perry
in a touring car. A blow out occurred
about a mile west of Bouton, and the
car turned completely over, alightins
right side up and standing across the
road. Both men were rendered uncon-
scious but Miles was not seriously hurt.
He regained consciousness and sum-
moned physicians from Bouton and
Madrid by telephone. Lemmer's in.
iuries were dressed and he was taken
to Bouton where he remained until
yesterday morning and was brought to
his home by train.
The car was running at from fifteen
to twenty miles per hour, and 1t Is pre-
sumed that instead of shutting off the
power when the blowout occurred, Mr..
,Lemmer made a mistake and threw on
the brakes. The accident occurred so
quickly that neither man could tell
exactly how it happened.
Lemmer Is survived by widow and
several daughters. He was about 60
years old.

The governor while in the legislature
was regarded by the workingmen as
one of their best and most consisten:
friends in all matters of legislation
and he took an active part in favor
OF most of the advanced legislation
that has been put on the statute books
in recent years. He will therefore be
perfectly at home with the working
men of the three cities which are allied
In one great organization. He will
speak of what Iowa has done and is
doing for the laboring men and of the
resultant excellent labor conditions
here.
