GOOD PROTECTION FOR TREES
Pennsylvania Expert Recommcnds
That All Litter Be Removed and
Earth Mound Be Erected.

The damage to trees, particularly
in young orchards, from gnawing by
rabbits and mice during the winter
time is very great. Last winter in
particular there was an unusual abund-
ance OF field mice. When the snow
thawed from meadows the burrows of
mice could be seen extending in all
directions. Many young trees planted
in sod or where manure OF mulch
came closely around their bases we're
completely girdled by these animals.
AS a precautionary measure, Profess
Sor Paddock of Ohio college of agri-
culture recommends that litter of all
kinds be removed from around the
trunks OF young trees and that a six
inch mound of earth thrown about
trunks OF such trees is also a good
plan. This protection of earth also
safeguards to certain extent against
winter injury.
One does not want to- go to the other
extreme, however, and remove all COW
ering from off the young tree roots
Experiment has shown that a certain
amount of organic matter in or on the
soil will often protect the trees from
injury during hard winter.
Rabbits are always present and the
possibility of injuries should always
be guarded against. One of the ways
recommended for preventing the rab-
bits from gnawing the trees is to pro-
tect them with some form of tree
protector. This may either be cylin-
der Of f,ne-meshed woven wire or
wood veLcer or cloth.
