SOME TBEES MAY HAVE BEEN IN¬ JURE BY MKE Mice have not damaged fruit trees as extensively this year as during the previous two winters. However, .some Injury by girdling may have ! occurred In certain orchards, Coun- 1 ty Agent B. L. Coleman warns. I In neighboring states general In- I Jury has been found In the com- ' paratlvely few orchard* where mice I were present. Contrary to the usual experience, tlie meadow mice have worked below the ground surface this year, and so injury may easily escape the attention of the orchard- 1st Thia strange behavior of the meadow mice presumably has been due to the fact that the ground has not been frozen as much as usual this year. tt is always advisable to Inspect the orchard for possible mouse injury In early spring, so that the necessary bridge-grafting may be done with¬ out delay. If the grafting Is de¬ layed until the weakened condition of the tree prompts an investigation of Its cause, the loss Is much greater than with trees bridge-grafted be¬ fore growth starts In the spring, Mr. Coleman explams. tt seema particularly wlae for Fetuuylvania orchardlsts to ln> spect their trees for mouse Injury at this time, even though compara¬ tively little injurr has been obaenr- ed and reported thus far, S S BAMB AAtM The Ladles Aid Society of Naaar¬ eth Evangelical Church will conduct a Bake Sale next Saturday, April 17th at FhllUp's Meat Market, Bel¬ videre Street.

SOME TBEES MAY HAVE BEEN IN¬ JURE BY MKE Mice have not damaged fruit trees as extensively this year as during the previous two winters. However, .some Injury by girdling may have ! occurred In certain orchards, Coun- 1 ty Agent B. L. Coleman warns. I In neighboring states general In- I Jury has been found In the com- ' paratlvely few orchard* where mice I were present. Contrary to the usual experience, tlie meadow mice have worked below the ground surface this year, and so injury may easily escape the attention of the orchard- 1st Thia strange behavior of the meadow mice presumably has been due to the fact that the ground has not been frozen as much as usual this year. tt is always advisable to Inspect the orchard for possible mouse injury In early spring, so that the necessary bridge-grafting may be done with¬ out delay. If the grafting Is de¬ layed until the weakened condition of the tree prompts an investigation of Its cause, the loss Is much greater than with trees bridge-grafted be¬ fore growth starts In the spring, Mr. Coleman explams. tt seema particularly wlae for Fetuuylvania orchardlsts to ln> spect their trees for mouse Injury at this time, even though compara¬ tively little injurr has been obaenr- ed and reported thus far, S S BAMB AAtM The Ladles Aid Society of Naaar¬ eth Evangelical Church will conduct a Bake Sale next Saturday, April 17th at FhllUp's Meat Market, Bel¬ videre Street.
