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. .
It all came out 'when Joe
Jewell at Star Ranger station

brush spray program, and he
named rodents as one of the
big problems in getting the lit
tle pines and firs to grow, par
ticularly when they are sown
in seed form in reforestation.
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.
