WITH THE EXTENSION PEOPLE
CONTROL OF FIELD MICE IN
ORCHARDS.
By XV. E. ,CROUCH.
State Rodent Control Leader. Univer
sity of Idaho Extension Division.
( Editor's Note—In presenting the
following article on "Control of Field
Mice in Orchards," Mr. (Touch is be
ginning a series of weekly farm ar
ticles which the specialists of tho Uni
versity of Idaho extension division ex
pect to continue throughout the com
ing twelve months. Next week's ar
ticle will deal with the new Idaho seed
grades.)
Most of the Injury to orchards
caused by field mice in Idaho is done
bv the meadow mousf*. Meadow mice
sometimes increase in enormous num
bers and inflict heavy damage by gir
dhn S fruit lroPS - When present, even
tr ._°', xli , nal ' y they , cause s _e rl _
ous injury to orchards and nurseries.
The writer knows of several instances
in the Boise valley during the fall of
1918. where more than 25 per cent of
the fruit trees in some orchards were
killed by meadow mice, and the loss
in one of these orchards amounted to
$3000. Their attacks on trees are us
ually made in the fall and winter, but
may occur at any season under shel
ter of dry litter or growing vegetation.
They usually begin work soon after
the green vegetation has been killed
by frost.
HOW TREES ARE INJURED.
The injury to trees and shrubs con
sists In tho destruction of the bark Just
at tlie surfuce of the ground, and in
some instances for several inches
above or below. When the girdling is ,
complete and the cambium entirely
eaten through, the action of the sun
and wind soon completes the destruc
tion of the tree. If the injury is dis
covered before it ts too extensive,
prompt covering of the wounds usually
wili save the tree.
In any ease of injury by meadow
mice, heaping up fresh soil so as to
cover the wound and prevent evapor
eo into the ocnference without a set
program," said Secretary Frank Mor
rison. another member of the labor
group early today.
Five delegates of the chamber of
Commerce of the United States have
also been instructed to go to the con
ference without a program prepared
in advance.
Under plans ss arranged today Di
rector John Barrett of the Pan Amer
ican union will welcome the delegates
and introduce Secretary Wilson, who
will explain tlie purpose of the confer
ence as outlined by lTesldent Wilson
before his illness. Wilson then will
call for the election of a permanent
chairman and other officials. The next
business will be the appointment of
committees to consider more than 200
proposals for arbitration and media
tion ttiat have been filed with the gov
ernment.

Every effort Is made to keep the
president's room as quiet as possible.
Music from the Washington hotel
not far from the executive mansion
seemed to annoy the president and the
hotel manager was asked to subdue it
which he did.
Mrs. Wilson, according to the White
House attendants stands the strain of
her husband's illness well. Doctors say i
she is a good nurse and that her pres

Th.i poisoned grain prepared by
either of the above formulas is to be
distributed over the infested area, not
more than a te.nspoonful at a place
care being taken to put it in mouse
trails and at the entrances to bur
rows. To avoid destroying birds, it
should, whenever possible, be placed
under such shelter.- as straw, brush,
or other litter, or under boards. Small
drain tiles 1(4 inches in diameter
sometimes have been used to advan
tage to hold poisoned grain, and old
tin cans with the edges bent in so
they are about 1(4 Inches apart will
serve the same purpose. The poison
ing, to be effective, must be carried
out systematically so that no mouse
rnuways are omitted, and care must
be taken to get bait directly Into the
used runways.
ation is recommended as the simplest
remedy. To save large trees, bridge
grafting may be employed.
The presence of meadow mice is
dicated by their many runways or
trails, which are mainly on the surface
of the ground under dead grass, weeds
or other trash.
The first step In protection against
infestation by meadow mice Is or
chard sanitation by clean cultivation
or the burning of all dead grass, weeds
or other trash In and about the or
chard.
Ordinary mouse traps of the guillo
tine type, baited with rolled oats or
crushed wheat and set in the mouse
trails will suffice to free & small area
of this pest : but for large areas or for
operation against considerable num
hers of these mice, poisoned baits are!
more effective.
For poisoning meadow mice, the fol
lowing methods are recommended
