ing about in the grass under the trees looking for food this consists of many different things including grass and weeds drop ped apples and the bark from the tree trunk and roots the main damage is caused when they eat tbe bark from around the lower part of the tree trunk if a mouse eats a portion cf the way- around the tree the tree will be considerably weak ened if the mouse eats com pletely around the trunk of tbe tree the tree will dla this can happen to trees of any age and is a most serious loss when a 10 or 15 year old tree is killed in the matter of a few weeks there are several methods of controlling mice in orchards sometimes combinations of these methods can be used to best advantage culturally mice are virtually eliminated under clean cultivation however this is not a very good system for keeping an orchard usually orchards are kept under sod cultivation and sometimes with a mulch under the tree branches thlsls ideal for mice if the grass can be clipped extremely close to the soil this will help to eliminate mice but this is not a beneficial practice from the standpoint of the tree keeping the soil clean or fair ly clean close to the trunk of the tree will often help this means dont apply manure or mulch close to tbe trunk of the tree keep the mulch back a foot to three feet from the trunk wire guards attached around the trunk of the tree and inserted an inch or two into the soil will elimin ate most mouse injury providing a fairly one mesa is used these wire guards however must be properly maintained and leave no openings for mice to enter chemical poisoning of mice is commonly practised it is very often a secondary measure as a followup to one d the cultural methods already listed mouse baits can be applied throughout the orchard things such as corn with a poison treatment can be scattered throughout the orchard for the mice to eat this will mil off the total mouse population in these orchards supposedly leaving tbe trees free from in- jury the moose bait can be scattered evenly throughout the orchard or in some instances is banded up each side of the row so that the mice must cross the urn of bait baton they wlu get to the trunk qf the tree also it might be advisable to place an additional band of bait around the total edges of the orchard this will help to mil any mice that may come in from other areas this is one area where additional applications of bait might prove quite beneficial when baiting it is important that the majority of tbe apples that have fallen to the ground be picked up if this is not done then the mice are more likely to eat the fallen apples than the bait and the kill will not be very good baiting is best done on a warm sunny day when the mice are quite active another chemical control for mice mice is a sprayon treat ment the material endrln can be sprayed on the grass under the trees and this material will kill all the mice that run through this grass this is a very effect ive mouse control method but is also very dangerous toother animals the mate rial isextrem- ely dangerous to the person doing the application too so if this is used extreme caution must be exercised mice will almost always be present in one quantity or an other and in most winters win causo some injury dont forget too that some injury may be taking place at the present time so early treatments are often
