These are frost injury and lngury from arumas such as rab. bits and mice. writes Mr, G, c, . Experimental Station, Charlottetown, Prince Edward Is- land. Careful fertilizing and sound cllllllrfll Practices may do much in lessening damage from frost in. Jury. Mature Wood is less likely to be injured by freezing tem r- atures, airy, any method wrlgh tends to stimulate the production of new. succulent growth Ln late Slimmer should be avoided. The use of nitrogenous fertilizers late in the season. as well as continued orchard cultivation. may promote new. late growth and such prac- tices are best discouraged. Another common form of in- iluy during winter is that by rab- bits and mice. There are a num- ber of ways in which such injury may be greatly reduced. Mice usually work on the ground under- neath the snow and often soil banked and packed firmly around the trees to a height of 10 or i2 inches will give sufficient pro- tection. A common and successful method of preventing injury from ra-bbits and mice is lo wrap the trunks with building or tarred paper. No injury has resulted from the use of tarred paper at Char- lottetown, Although this tias been reported by some experimenters. All wrappings must be removed in the spring. Wire rotectors are also _ular and, made suffi- cientl large, may remain for a number of years. The use of washers of repellents has increas- ed in recent years and there are now s number which have proved very satisiaotory. Recent investigations in the United States with zinc lfliosphide against mice have ven 100 per cent control. Th treatment. known as the u. s. Biological survey Method. has given excel- lent. results when tried in Canada and is particularly well adapted to commercial orchards. Full particulars regarding any of the above may be obtained by writln to the superintendent. Expo mental Station, Charlotte- town, Prince Edward Island.
