Tried As Control
For Pine Mice
New hope for fruit growers plagued by pine mice is seen by researchers at Virginia Agricult tural Experiment Station at VPL
Dr. Frank Horsfall, Jr., horticulturist, says his tests have in-; dicated that a ground- spray of dieldrin may be the answer to the problem.
No recommendations can be made yet, because of the cxces-t sively high cost fo the material (it cost Dr. Horsfall about $22 per acre), but he says techniques may be devised which wiQ do away with that disadvantage. ~In his tests, pine mice practically disappeared from one small test plot, and also from an- isolated orchard when the orchard floor was uniformly and completely covered with the dieldrin at the rate of four pounds per acre.
Dr. Horsfall also found thati parathion appeared to repel and to force mice to live underground for a week to 10 days with probable increased hazard to trees. r ^ ,. ■<_
