TINE TO GUARD
ORCHIDS is NOW
Hungry Field Mice Gnaw at
Roots and Damage Trees
During Sept. and Oct.

WASHINGTON, SEN. 20. (By
Associated Press.) Tine months Of
September and October are the
dates when the "far sighted or
chardist' takes preparations to
guard against possible injury to his
trees by hungry field mice which
gnaw at the trunks and roots, ac-
cording to a Biological Survey made
recently by the United States De
partment of Agriculture
According to the report Of the
government department, such in
jury is liable to occur at any TINS
after November 1st, although mos
Of. it usually is inflicted in mid
winter or very early in spring, I'M
der cover of heavy snow and wher
the more favored food supply is
running low" .
The injury thus affected by the
mice. says the report, occurs only
a irregular intervals, thereby max
ing the menace greater due to the
fact that it most often catches the
orchardist unprepared and wholly
unaware of the damage being done
until the melting snow in spring nm
covers girdled trunks, or the wilt
ing trees in midsummer betray the
hidden work of the mice on tie
roots.
Preventive measures cost littlo
in comparison with the protection
afforded" the report continues,
"and although frequently girdled
tree may be saved by timely bridge
grating, an ounce of prevention IS
worth a pound of cure. Many pro
gressive fruit growers realize this
truth and each fall and several
times during the winter, examine
their orchards carefully for mouse
signs, If mice are present they pre-
pare to destroy them or take steps
to prevent their attacks upon trees.
Methods Of preventing mouse
injury vary according to the species
Of mouse and the cultural practices
followed. In much of the eastern
United States pine mice are pres
ent and their injury is usually in
flicted below the surface of the
ground. 1t is necessary to destroy
such mice unless they are driven
out by deep and clean cultivation Of
the whole orchard. Where meadow
mice only are concerned, such meth
DDS as mechanical protectors and
repellent washes are practicable, all
though the destruction of mice is
preferable"
