|Injury to Trees ah :

In Winter by |
Mice as Usual

As eich spring comes around com .

Waints come in of damage from mice.
AS much of this can be prevented by
precautionery measures taken in the
fall we venture once again to remind
our readers that the time is now op-
portune to guard: against: such’ loss.
This muy be accomplished in two
ways: (1) by the use of building
paper, nnd (2) by the use of wire or
netal protectors. The building paper
is a very cheap means of protection
from the stondpoint of material, but,
as it lasts only the one season, is ex-
travagant of time through the neces-
sity of wrapping the trees each fall.
Single-ply white or grey building pa-
per used. Tar paper may be used.

possibility of injury to the ‘trees. The
paper is ent into strips about six or
eight inches wide and the full length
of thé roll, which is about thirty-six
inches, The paper is: wrapped pretty
snugly around the tree trunk and tied
with binder twine top and bottom.
After tying, o little earth is mounded
up around the base to prevent rodents
working under the paper, This paper
is generally removed in the spring.

The other method, the use of wire or
metal, is more permanent, more expen-
sive, but cheaper in labor, for . the
metai protectors last. for a long per-
jod- of years. . Fine meshed galvaniz-
ed wire netting is the most lasting
material. It is ‘fastened by small
pieces of wire and is made large
enough to nllow for the trunk ex-
panding as the tree grows. Ther is a
cheaper material is made trom ex-
panded metal,. such. as is used ‘in
building. It is better when both; gal-
vanized and dipped in paint, nae
state it May be obtained from} the
factory. This material is fastened
avound the trank. ‘by small wird fas:
teners as is the wire. netting. ‘It is
advisable to stick the ends of these
wire protectors in the soil’ so that
there will be no danger of thé mice
working from underneath.
