Valuable Trees Are
Hurt by Field Mice
Much of Loss Prevented by
Control Methods.

prepared by the United States Department
thousands OF valuable orchard
trees are killed by field mice every
year throughout the United States.
Damage amounting to millions of dol.
lars annually is also inflicted by mice
on pasturage, forage. grain. and other
crops. and on tubers, small fruits,
Towering plants and shruhbery. Ry
the use Of proper control methods
much of this loss might be prevented.
In a new Farmers Bulletin. No. 1897,
Mouse Control in Field and Orchard,
James Silver of the biological survey,
describes the meadow mice and pine
mice which infiict most of the dam
age. and explains why different con-
troll methods are needed with each
species.
The control of field mice in orchards
should be undertaken at stated in
tervals as regular feature of or
chard practice, just as spraying IS
done to combat insect pests or fruit
diseases. Methods of preventing in
jury in orchards may be grouped IN
four classes: Removing mouse shell
ter; treating trees with washes to re-
pei mice; inclosing trees with mechan-
ical protectors. and killing the mice.
Mechanical protectors and clean cal
tivation around trees are successful
aids TO meadow-mouse control, but
have very little effect on pine mice,
which do not rely on surface vegeta-
tion for food or protection.
The two practical methods of de.
stroying both meadow mice and pine
mice are trapping and poisoning. Field
mice are very readily caught in strong
mouse traps and are usually exter-
minated by persistent trapping. The
labor involved on a large area, how.
ever. makes this method costly. The
use of poison Is by far the most sat
isfactory way of controlling field mice.
The biological survey has developed
several successful formulas for pre-
pairing baits and gives these in the
bulletin, together with directions for
distributing them.
Certain birds and other animals
habitually feed on field mice and aid
in their control. These. according to
the bulletin. should be protected as
far as possible. When field mice be-
come so excessively abundant as to
menace the fruit trees and crops of
whole community, concerted effort
Is required to control the situation of
all the residents. The biological sur
vey stands ready to assist as far as
possible in the organization of any
necessary campaigns over large areas

Use Only Paper Twine in
Tying Wool for Market

Wool growers are urged by the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture
to use only paper twine in tying
heeces for market. Twne made of
jute, hemp or sisal sheds fibers that
mix with the wool and reduces the
value of the cloth made from such
wool. Some growers still persist in
using undesirable twines, and a con-
siderable quantity of wool tied with
hbrous twines is being received In the
markets, according to reports from the
Boston Wool Trade association.
1t is practically impossible to re-
move all the twine fbers, whereas par
ticles Of paper twine can be entirely
removed in the manufacturing process.
The fibers Of jute. hemp or sisal do
not take the dye in the manufacturing
process and show up in the cloth,
thus reducing the value of the goods,
The Department of Agriculture is
cooperating with the trade in cam.
paign to end the use of undesirable
twine and to aid wool growers to Sc
cure the desirable paper twine. Coun-
ty agricultural agents can help to i'm
press growers with the Importance of
proper tying of fleeces.
