Moles A Pest
The past several days a number
(f persons have called the county
agent’s office stating that moles in
their lawns, flower gardens or
vegetable gardens are becoming a
pest, and wishing to know’ a con
trol method.
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
