occasionally some one species appears
in such numberless hordes that the
crop of large sections is deyoured and
great havoc is wrought.
No other animal attacking the un-
derground parts of alfalfa can equal
or even closely approach the gopher
in destructiyeness. II has proven one
of the most formidable mammalian
pests with which alfalfa growers
have had TO contend. Kansas alone
suffers a loss of fully 100000 yearly.
This damage is not directly in the de-
struction of the alfalfa plant so much
as il is in the interference with the
work Of cutting the crop and the loss
by reason of having to cut the plant
far above the ground. to avoid running
into the mounds thrown up by the go-
piers. This loss amounts TO about
one-tenth OF the entire crop. Besides
the damage 10 alfalfa, there is a SINH
lar one to clover, timothy and native
meadows, and the direct destruction of
vegetable gardens and other crops.
The gopher has the external cheek
pouches, strong lower jaws, fore feet
strongly developed for digging, and
