ORCHARDS SHOULD BE PROTECTED AGAINST
MICE in WINTER, SAYS UNIVERSITY MAN

it does afford some protection to the
orchard. IL this practice is followed
by tramping down the snow after
each fall the system becomes doubly
effective.
The use of protective covers placed
around the trunks of trees, such as
wooden veneer wrappers, wire screen
ing, newspapers, are some of the pre-
ventive measures used by growers
Repellent washes have also been
used to good advantage. Various ma
terials such as paints, soap, slaughter
house blood, coal tar, axle grease and
lime-sulphur, when applied to the
trunks Of trees, are Objectionable to
mice.
! Poisoned Bait
| BY far the most satisfactory means
Of control Is poison bait. The bureau
i OF biological survey of the u. s. De-
partment OF Agriculture Is recon.
mending several formulas which have
been found very effective In field
mice control.
Rolled Dat Bait. - The following
preparation has been designed to
meet the requirements for use as a
permanent bait In poison stations or
caches, and 1t has also proved highly
satisfactory for general use:
| Mix together, dry, one-eighth ounce
OF powdered strychnine and oneeighth
ounce Of baking soda. Sift the strych-
nine-soda mixture over quart OF
rolled oats, stirring constantly to in.
sure an even distribution of the poi.
son through the grain. Thoroughly
warm the poisoned rolled oats In an
oven and sprinkle over them 6 table
spoonfuls OF a mixture Of 3 parts oil
melted beef fat and one part OF
melted paraffin, mixing until the oats
are evenly coated When the grain
is cool 1t is ready for use.
IL larger quantities Of the bait are
needed, use in the proportion of
ounce of strychnine, 1 ounce of soda
5 quarts Of rolled oats and Ia pints
OF the beef fat-paraffin mixture. In
applying the coating 1t Is very impor
tant that the beef fat-paraffin mixture
be hot and the poisoned rolled oats
thoroughly warm, otherwise 1t will
not be possible to obtain an even
coating.
Teaspoonful quantities OF the poi
soned rolled oats should be place.
in the small containers or stations
well distributed over the infested
area. The poisoned bait may also bt
scattered along runways and within
entrances Of burrows, a teaspoonfu

II we are to have hard winter, as
is predicted by many Of the oldtimers,
the orchard should receive some at
tention before everything is covered
with a blanket of snow. A few years
ago, here In the Pacific Northwest,
there was severe mouse epidemic. A
large number Of fruit trees were In.
jured at the time. 1t is hard to esti-
mate the damage done In the various
orchards as no survey was made, but
1t no doubt ran into the thousands of
dollars.
Other sections have suffered consid.
cradle from mice depredations. Re
ports from orchardists in California
New York, Connecticut, Virginia, Mas.
sachusetts, etc., tell of the destruc
ton of large numbers of fruit trees
by field mice, the loss annually
amounting to millions of dollars. In
1922 thousands of trees would have
been injured in one Of the fruit.
growing sections of Washington by
field mice had not the entire commun
ity made concerted effort to control
the situation.
Types of Mice Doing Damage
According to government authori.
ties, much Of the injury done to vari-
Gus crops Is caused by two kinds OF
short-tailed field mice, l. e., the mea.
dow mice and pine mice. These two
types are closely related, but differ
considerably In habits. The comm ION
field mouse that does practically all
the damage in the orchards OF the
| Northwest is found inhabiting the
whole Of the United States, while the
pine mice are mostly in the Eastern
part of the United States. The mea
dow mice are rather small animals
haying coarse fur, dark brown in col
or, and with beady black eyes. The
pine mouse Is somewhat smaller and
has smoother fur, which is reddish
brown in color

Methods OF Control
