Orchard Mice

Orchardiats should now keep
close watch for mouse damage to
frnit trees In their orchards. in
In the past it has been found
that a year or two after mice
have been abundant they can
increase very rapidly. Con-
ditions of the past season were
very good for all rodent pests
and increase have been noticed
in all sections where strenuous
control methods were not applied.
We are therefore advertising all
orchardists to keep close watch
or orchard mouse damage.
sa1f there is any evidence of
mice in the orchard it would be
much better to get rid of them

now than to wait until the damage
shows on the trees. 1t is much
easier to prevent the trees from
damage than to save itaftea the
damage has been done. The dam
age is usually done under the
snow or grass covering close to
the base of the tree just above
the ground or grldling the main
root.
The following mouse formula
usually gives the required results
but any difficulties in controlling
the mouse whould be reported to
your local county agent.
Formula: Mix in dry form
one ounce of powered (Alknloid)
strchnine. one ounce baking soda
and one-tenth ounce of sacchine
10 the mixture add | pinto thin
starch paste made by disoving
scant tablespoonful of gloss
starch in a of coold water and
add to one pint Of boiling water
and stir to a clear thin paste
free from Jumps. Then add one
tablespoonful Of glycerine and
one-forth pint of karo SYRUP.
Pour this mixture over 20 quarts
of good clean steam rolled oats
and mix we'll to coat each kernel.
A good meathoud if any great
amount is to be used is to get
the estimated community needs
and mix at a central point and
distribute to each individual.
Your County Agent will help
you.
The best time for poisoning
orchard mice is in early fall but
then can be poisoned at this time
Of the year with fair success.
Orchard mouse poison can be

W. B. Storey, president of the
