Poisoned Bait
Will Keep Down
Damage By Mice
Field mice are an orchard pest that
most fruit growers are unaware of
until it is too late to save their trees,
says H. R. Niswonger, extension hor
ticulturist at State College
Most of the mouse damage, he says,
occurs during the winter months in
orchards where a heavy sod covers
the ground.
The mice work just beneath the
otieed until the
lUIiaee o" --- -- - .
trees begin to di or fail to bud in
the spring. At first the damage may
be slight, out eventually the mice eat
I away the bark from tne trunK a iew
inches below the soil so as to com.
! p'.etely girdle the tree.

The slight increase in Republican
representation in the General Assem.
bly as a result of the voting last
week wa.-n't any surprise to the po-
litically-mmded who hang around
tne State Capitol. Rumblings of dis
cord had been coming in from more
than one bailiwick for some time,
much to the cor. ern of Democratic
leaders. You wouldn't have been
forced to look far to get a bet that
the Republicans would have twenty
.members in the next Ix-gislature.
Shining Star
Congressman Frank Hancock, of
the Fifth District, is viewed by many
North C. rolina 'politrk-ians as; the
most promising member of the North
( arolma delegation in Washington.
They point out that in his compara
tively short .service in Washington he
has attained high ranking phce on
the House Banking and Currency com
mittee and although he has taken
tome bold steps in voting on meas
ures his di.-trict continues to give
him handsome majorities in prima
ries. He was unopposed in the gen
eral election.
alor And Caution
Some political observers' are won
dering if the overwhelming endorse
ment accorded the New Deal in the
National election will have the effect
of toning .down Senator Josiah W.
Bailey in the next session of the
Big Stick
Tne Mate School Commission has a
club that it uses to get the most fav
orable bids for hauling coal from
cars to schools. Last summer the
commission had a number of untility
bodies built for trucks at the high
way shops near Raleigh at the cost
of thirty dollar a throw- If bids for
hauling coal are higher than the com
mission thinks they should be. then
7U msmUr! say: "Alright, we'll just
hwtll dur own coal," Uff come the
passenger body on school trucks and
on goes the utility body all .-et for the
sooty job. Or in other cases the bids
are lowered and it. isn't necessary
to change the bodies. Which just
goes t show you that there are still
many ways to bring death to a feline.
