Yes, they are. The story's title is "The Billion Dollar Safari" (US 54).

According to the Carl Barks Library the original quote is:
"Mash your taters, stomp your weeds!
Swing your mice and do good deeds!"
BTW. My quotes also come from the Carl Barks Library. (I only have about
two original Barks comics.) Maybe I should always emphasize that,
because the Carl Barks Library is known to have undocumented changes.
Now there's only one quote left. The quotes clearly refer to scenes in
the story. (Unlike the quotes from "The Billion Dollar Safari", which
were rather difficult.)

"Well, back into the barrel with the FLEAS!"
(Hint: "Gaaah! There's a year's crop of SOOT in that pipe!")
