Progress Report on Rodent Poison Trials at Agricultural Station
A chemical poison tested in the Pennsylvania Agricultural Experiment Station orchard shows promise in reducing meadow mouse populations, using a wheat mix and a trail-builder device. Trials compared zinc phosphide and endrin, with trapping later outperforming earlier bait methods. The report also surveys per capita fluid milk consumption in the United States, noting that about three fourths of milk is for drinking and that consumption varies by age, gender, weather, income, and education.
