Moles live mostly underground and have a sensitive touch, acute hearing, or highly developed pow er of smell. They resemble in size and appearance, a rat. Moles make tunnels in the soil and damage growing plants or germinating seed. They feed mostly on earth worms, white grubs, beetles and their larvae and other insects that enter the ground such as spiders, centipedes and cocoons. This is the highest cotton planted acreage his- icason for the mole making so ton,- for the last three years and many tunnels, called runways, :n total crop land acreage on the farm the earth in search of food. —this information still does not tell * * • | a farmer what his 1953 cotton acre- Conlrol Method* Vary age will be.

Due to the sensi- cent of parity, live smell of the mole, and the . nature of its food of earthworms, grubs, etc., it’s not practical to use poison bait. Mole traps set in the runways is one of the best ways of destroying the mole. Hardware stores sell mole traps. Sometimes flooding by means of a garden hose the soil where the mole dens is helpful tyit not always practical. Moles, however, may occasion ally be successfully driven from small restricted areas of lawns or garden by introducing into their runways material that is ill-smell ing or in other respects offensive or injurious to them.
