8 B ,. FRIDAY, Rural Reflections By- Maud Ziegler , tVpplegats Valley Correspondent APPLEGATE VALLEY You would think that a rat or mouse, if he did not seek shelter and grain supply available at a farm, would at least be safe out in the mountains, but it is not so. The Forest Service is right on his trail, and the tech nicians ;uid rangers know an awful lot about' a 'rat, '.and his business and where he goes. .

Of-course rodents include rab bits,, porcupines, squirrels, and many others. Control is con sidered an expensive and con tinuous procedure. Just Make 'Em Sick It seems that the furry little beasts cannot keep any secrets from mankind, for it is known i that they will not invade each i other's territory. So the for-i estry'men figure out that it does . little good to poison all the pests ' in one area, for another batch , will move in and eat up all the seed anyhow, bo what do they do? They treat their little tree seeds with a poison solution just strong enough to make the pests sick, but not to kill. This teach es them that they do not want any more tree seed. Rodents feel most at home in a brushfield: they like its shel ter, and when it is cleared they move in to get the tender grass es that may be growing even before the conifer seeds have been planted. Where gophers are concerned they invade a plantation, and in their network of runways gnaw through seedling roots, and also eat tender shoots and the cambium layer of bark and wood. Out of Luck Again Now another area in which the gopher is out of luck is in the case of a successful tree growth period of 10 years or so, when the crown of the tree is closed, and the gopher cannot harm . the tree any more. Neither can he live under its shaded ground because food is scarce, and he either starves or moves to new grounds. Browsing deer also present a problem in reforestation, though not a serious one, and animal repellants sprayed on young tree tops offer some help. Hooves of cattle also cause mi nor damage.
