TO KILL GOPHERS AND
GROUND SQUIRRELS
Results of Experiments Made BY For
est Service On National Forests.

Interesting results have just been
announced by the Forest Service as
a result of the campaign conducted
in Southern California by Stanley E.
Piper, Expert of the Biological Sur
vey of the Department of Agriculture,
to exterminate ground squirrels and
gophers.
Extensive experiments were tried
to determine the best means of kill
ing off these destructive little ami
mails, and it was found that most
effective results were obtained by
using poisoned green or ripened bar
lev heads. The squirrels are eX-
ceedingly fond of this green heritage,
and eagerly ate the poisoned food
placed along their runways. Tests
were also made with oats, wheat,
barley, raisins, prunes, dried apples
and cracked corn, but these did not
prove so successful.
While green barley proved most
successful for poisoning ground
SQUIRRELS, yet the difficulty of pro-
curing a sufficient supply in all local
tiles led to dried barley grain being
tried. The grain was treated with
strychnine sulphate, saccharine, and
eggs, and although this combination
proved very destructive to the squir-
rels, it had practically no effect upon
doves and quail. In fact deliberate
attempt was made to poison these
birds at their watering places, but
no bad effect resulted. The poisoned
grain was also used in fields graz
ed over by sheep and produced no i'll
effects whatever.
The experiments also proved that
gophers were partial to raisins and
dried apples, and these were success
fully used in the poison experiment.
It was found that by sprinkling the
apples or raisins with the stryehnine
solution, as effective results were pro
duced as could be obtained by in
sorting the poison into the fruit.
The experiments for determination
of SQUIRRELS also resulted in the death
of a considerable number of rabbits,
and in other experiments it was
found that poisoned oats proved
very effective in killing both jacks
and cottontails. Green alfalfa was
also used with good results for the
same purpose.
