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

phosphide, once used widely
by orchard owners.
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.

of it will ever get to hungry
people.
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.
