UNLESS CONTROLLET , Start early to remove moles ! from land to be planted to vic- | tory gardens, advises Katharine ; S. Benner, Elkhart county home | demonstration agent. Fumigants I and repellant substances prove most effective for this purpose. I Moles? are active dining winter j months in small systems of runways fairly deep in the ground. I Their nests are made under the roots of trees, large stones, sidewalks or roadways. They pro- , duce litters of two to four young i during the early spring. | At the first sign of warm spring weather, moles move upward to | burrow within a few inches of I the ground surface. Once estab. ) lished in surface runways in gar- , dens, it is difficult to remove than. Calcium cyanide powder is fairly effective in destroying moles when the powder is forced into ; "their runways with a garden dusI ter during the period that moles j use their deep winter systems. | Their burrows may be located by the mounds of dirt they push Up

during the fall, winter and early spring months. Repellant materials will keep moles out of gardens fairly well when applied as soil barriers at the edge of garden plots before the land is plowed and planted. The repellants may be applied in a shallow trench made with a hoe, or directly on the ground. To be effective, treatments must be made at frequent intervals. The best substances to apply are those with a lingering odor, such as naphthalene and creosote. Victory gardeners find moles destructive rodents.
