North Dakota"
Everybody recognizes the fact that til
gopher problem Is hard one for til
farmers of North Dakota to solve. Mos
Of the counties IN the state have tried +
get ahead of the pest in one way or an
other, but with only limited success. TIL
gophers go on increasing, and each sue
ceeding year crops are damaged to
great extent What the outcome vii
be it is hard to forecast, as the willy llttl
gopher seems to more than hold its ow
in its warfare with the robbed and cxas
kperated granger. But there is one Gel
tain way to bring the former to confusio
and destruction--eat him. It is a settle
fact that he IS ''geod to eat;" though tn
farmers consider him "bad, to eat" thel
crops. We know Of three or four settler
in this county who--primarily throug
lack of meat secondarily in the intcres
of scicnce--have devourcd gophers. Wit
one accord these settlers assert that the
never tasted better flesh that it is tende
and sweet, and superior to the squi,
rels of the woods. What we want to ge
at is this: If the gopher could be made
regular article of diet its numbers woul
decrease rapidly. Not only would ceun
try people slaughter thousands, bu
sportsmcn from the city would also joi
in the crusade. Somebody must do til
pioneer work - considerable numbe
must prove to their fellow settlers by oil
ject lessons that gopher is good "fced.
1t might be impossible to get volunteer
to give practical illustrations, but stl
{ the people are masters of the situation
, Make the politicians eat 'em. Let no ma
! be nominated to a county office until h
gives written pledge to make gophe
u chief article of diet. In this way bot
the politician aud the flicker. tail will /
made to subserve 4 useful purpose. Ii
