84 —Lancaster Farming. Saturday. Jan. 4. 1975 Thiram Repels Orchard Mice Meadow mice in orchards iftcn kill young apple trees by girdling them. Research it The Pennsylvania Slate Jmversity shows that meadow mice can be con .rolled by painting the base jf young trees with thiram Thiram was approved previously to repel white tailed deer and cottontail rabbits around trees and shurbs. Experiments by James E. Luke of Centre Hall, graduate assistant in entomology, found thiram successful in keeping meadow mice (voles) from gnawing the bark near the soil surface and killing trees by girdling. Thiram is now registered to control voles. The chemical is con sidered the safest and most effective product available to control voles, stated Dr. Robert Snetsmger, professor of entomology at Penn State. It’s considerably superior, he said, to baits treated with strychnine and zinc 1 FRIDAY NITE HORSE SALE ££& JANUARY 10, -ffiirflfr* at 7 :OOP.M. New Holland Sales Stables, Inc.

Thiram was originally developed, and is used commonly as a fungicide to contr' diseases of fruit trees. Used with meadow voles, rabbits, and deer, thiram repels rather than kills making it more ac ceptable to persons con cerned with wildlife. In the Penn State experiments, the trees were coated with thiram to a minimum height of 20 inches, including the roots. Nine different treatments were tested at Penn State. Eight meadow voles were used on each treatment and the treatments were repeated three times. Where trees were painted with thiram, voles were released among the trees 1,30, and 60 days after application. The other treatments featured various combinations of trees with zinc phosphide treated apples, strychnine- 1975 While* I have been recuperating from my recent surgery, one of the issues that has emerged for national debate is the question of what should be done about world hunger. The problem of starvation in many areas of the world is one that stirs our .com passion and causes us to ask what the response should be from our land of plenty. But the situation is as complex as it is tragic. You can understand those who would respond emotionally to the scene of starving children and ask that the United States begin im mediately to ship more food stuffs overseas. But they tend to ignore the very real - problems of transportation and government corruption in the nations we are trying to assist. Those problems mean that regardless of how much extra food we ship, only a very small percentage treated apples and untreated trees for comparison. Damage by voles was significantly lower among the trees painted with thiram than among the other treatments. Apple baits, treated with zinc phosphide or strychnine, were inef fective in controlling the voles. Untreated seeding apple trees were severely damaged, Dr. Snetsinger said. By the end of seven days, these trees were gnawed or girdled com pletely from ground level to 12 to 14 inches up the trunk. Safe and effective chemicals such as thiram should replace strychnine and zinc phosphide m con trolling voles, he observed.

It is implied in a program of shipping extra food stuffs from this country that the effect will be to raise food prices in this country. Some say that this is an acceptable price to pay, but that claim raises questions, too. The poor in this Nation exist, in many cases, on quite meager diets. Raising food prices here will cut into the food budgets of our own low income families, a development that seems a rather strange response to fighting the hunger problem. In my opinion, our government efforts should be first aimed at serving the needs of our own hungry people. We should attempt to keep supermarket prices as low as possible, not force them upward with overseas shipments of food. And, any tax dollars expended should be toward programs to improve the diets of our own poor. But, what about a response to the internatioonal problem of hunger? It seems to me that this is a matter that can best be handled with a people-to-people kind of program. In other words, a private food relief effort should be established much along the lines of what Project Hope has done in providing health services to undeveloped lands. The advantages of a private program are many. First of all, it would mean that the corrupt govern ments overseas could be bypassed, something that any program sponsored by the Federal Gobernment could not do. Second, the real com passion of the American people could be called upon. 10:30 A.M It has been suggested that if American families gave up one meal a week or even one cocktail at a party, millions of tons of grain and food could be saved for use overseas. Government cannot compel people to make those sacrifices, but an appeal to people to con tribute to a relief program based upon such sacrifices is not unreasonable. If every family gave an amount equal to one of their meals and then gave up that meal, the cost to them would be nothing and the help provided would be immense. The Federal Government would be involved to the extent that such con tributions would be tax deductible. If we are serious about fighting world hunger, let us do it in a way that uses our greatest strength to the best advantage - that strength is the good will of the American people.
