A Threatening Nuisance.

A farmer from Linn county was in
Corvallis few days ago and told GA
zETTE man that he had been fighting
gophers vigorously for the past year with
gopher guns; that he had killed hun.
dreds of them, but yet has large
number on his premises, to his damage.
He says hts neighbers have legions OF
them, but they are not trying to exter-
inmate these pests as he ia. The farmer
says he is determined to wage war against
the gopher until it ia driven out, or else
sell his home and move to another coun-
try.
Upon inquiry, we find that the Agri-
cultural College authorities have had
men fighting this little animal, with
varying success, on the college campus
and farm for many years. One of the
employees there row spends many hours
per week setting guns, taking out car
casses and looking after the business
generally, while other men and boys at
work for the Institution take hand in
the warfare as occasion may demand.
They have killed so many upon these
grounds that the employees have Lecome
quite skilled in the use of the gopher
gun and get one of the rodents at every
discharge of the weapon. They do not
try to keep account ofthe number killed,
except by calculating the number of
boxes of shells bought.
At one time the authori ties kept boys
on duty all day guarding the premises
with common shotguns, though nothing
but the gopher gun is now used, the
guerilla practice giving place to a civil
lied and regular state of siege, the ami
NAL reproducing his species just about as
fast as the gun kills his neighbor in its
surrounding district.
It is said the station staff at the Agri-
cultural College at Pullman, Wash, ia
stituted series OF experiments to kill
gophers by the incubation OF contagious
poison, but with what result we are not
informed. If such plan of work is
practicable, it certainly would be much
more efficacious and more economical
than is the present desultory method.
It is surprising the amount of damage
the gopher can do and the large sections
of fields that it can honey-comb. It il
said to be difficult to walk across some
of the fields owned by private parties il
the vicinity of the college, and that tht
dirt Of the gopher mounds interfere very
materially with the sickle Of the mower
lin cutting the crops raised on thes,
tracts OF land.
We are glad that the gopher pest il
not prevalent in the Willamette Vale.
and hope eur farmer friends in the in
tested districts may find some inexpen
sive way to relieve themselves from tn
gopher nuisance.
