BERKELEY.
California,
January
19Kern
County
is
alive
with
mice
and,
according
to
Raymond
Hall,
assistant
director
of
the
University
of
California
museum,
it
is
the
strangest
occurrence
of
its
kind
in
the
history
of
the.
United
States.
The
pests
are
not
field
mice
but
house
mice
which
makes
the
invasion
all
the
more
Rtrange
he
says.
Their
breeding
place
is
the
bed
of
the
reclaimed
Bucna
Vista
Lake,
now
a
vast
grain
field.
The
roads
and
highways
are
carpeted
with
the
tiny
pests
nnd
they
swarm
into
houses
and
barns,
destroying
in
their
path,
foodstuffs,
clothing,
bod
coverings
and
grain.
Hall
estimates
that
one
pair
of
mice
is
responsible
for
the
birth
of
more
than
sixteen
thousand
in
a
year's
time.
