DAMAGE BY SQUIRRELS
AMOUNTS TO MILLIONS
In California They Eat Grain
Seeds as Fast as
Planted.

The surprising total Of SIC. .OoO. 600 dam
age annually is credited to ground squir-
rels In the United States by C. Hart Mer-
riam, formerly chief Of the biological sur
vey, in bulletin just published by the
Department Of Agriculture.
Mr.. Merriam says that the western
states are the worst sufferers in this re-
spect, being overrun with squirrels. In
California there are three genera and q
dozen species. The worst Of them is q big
squirrel, large as the eastern gray tree
squirrel. Aside from the damage they do
California squirrels have become infected
plague.
Infection Over Wide Area.
The bulletin says that If when the infec-
ton Of the squirrels with plague was first
discovered means had permitted Of an
active campaign q line fifty miles wide
could have been drawn around San Fran
cisco bay and the squirrels exterminated
in this belt. This would have cost about
100000. Funds were not available, how
ever, and the pest spread till now plague
among the squirrels is epidemic as far
as Los Angeles. The public health and
marine hospital service has found 376
squirrels infected with plague
The animals are very destructive to
orange and almond groves, young vine-
yards and all sorts of growing crops.
They have cheek pouches and store and
carry off more material than they eat.
Some of their stores that have been un-
earthed contained from one to three
quarts of fresh planted grain. In some
places it has been impossible to plant a
field because the ground squirrels carried
off the grain as fast as it was planted.
Coal Tar a Protection.
One of the things the biological survey
has done is to discover an effective pro-
tective coating. In one cornfleld in Cati-
fornia where the squirrels would not al
low a crop to be planted there was a
good stand of corn secured by coating
the grains with coal tar.
The bulletin contains specific directions
for poisoning the squirrels without en-
dangering live stock or birds. The cost
of poisoning is 3a cents an acre where
the squirrel plague Is not unusually bad.
After the squirrels have been killed of
so far as possible with the poison It is
possible to clean up the remainder with
the use Of crude bisulphide of carbon in
the burrows.
The bulletin says the aggregate Of dam
age the squirrels do is well worth the ex-
pense of killing them off. Formerly they
were considered a desirable article Of
food, but in the area of plague infection
the authorities have warned the public
against handling them.
