DAMAGE BY POCKET GoPHERs
Little Animals Are Very Destructive
70 Orchard and Nursery Stock and
70 Garden Truck.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
According to the biological survey
Of the department Of agriculture, the
pocket gopherS are very destructive
to orchard and nursery stock. and to
garden produce. Apricot trees six
inches in diameter have been de-
stroyed BY the gopher. In one orchard
In California alone an assistant OF the
survey counted seven trees that had
been killed by gophers. The ranch
man did not seem to know what was
the trouble. but thought it was due to
scmo blight. A gopher was seen Dor
ing under one Of the trees and later
on was caught in = trap. One Of the
greatest enemies Of the gopher IL the
barn owl. One-half bushel Of the re-
mains Of gophers was found near the
nest Of an owl Of this species. and yet
almost every ranchman would shoot
an owl at sight. The surveyjs trying
to educate them to the value Of owls.
The best method Of killing the pock-
ct gopher II to destroy them by the
use Of poison mixed with chopped
sweet potatoes. The potatoes are
very acceptable to the gopher owing
to the fact that they keep well under
ground. In one experiment Of 20 dif.
ferent runways. dead gophers were
found in 10, and In the twentieth the
potato had been stored up BY HhA 60
phsr for asfuture meal.

DEATH OF CHAMBERLAIN
END OF TARIFF REFORM?
The Daily News" Thinks So,
but It's Hope Is in the Son
of It's Expounder.
lBy Gable TO Tho Tribune.

London. July A profound impress
sion has been caused throughout the
country by the passing Of Joseph
Chamberlain. easily the most remark
able figure in the British political
world since Gladstone. Almost eight
years ago he was severely stricken, and
though he did not resign his seat for
West Birmingham and continued to
send occasional messages to his sup
pOrters he only once appeared in the
House of Commons since then, and
took no active part in politics.
His death therefore is an event OF
personal rather than political signiti-
canoe. II may indeed have some reac-
tion upon the tariff reform cause, with
which in later Years his activity was
associated. That cause. which owed all
the vitality il possessed TO his advocacy
and influence. never throve after his
withdrawal from the field Of action.
Ten years ago Joseph Chamberlain
was purging the Unionist party Of
every remaining suspicion Of free
trade. and imperial preference with its
corolary OF tax on food was the first
plank in the Unionist platform. To-
day taxes on food are officially repu-
dated and the tariff reform policy is
hardly even mentioned.
THE Daily News" thinks that with
the death of its author tariff reform
will be quietly dropped. but in this
case the wish is doubtless father to
the thought. but Austen Chamberlain
is unlikely to allow the cause for
which his father sacrificed so much to
sink into oblivion, and if the Unionists
return to power as a result Of the next
general election it may confidently be
anticipated that he as the last Unionist
Chancellor of the EXchequer will OBJ
tain the opportunity to frame a tariff
reform budget
Eulogistic editorials. long obituary
notices, tributes from political friends
and foes, appreciative comments from
all parts of the world and page photo
graphs and cartoons illustrating strik-
ing incidents in the career of the dead
statesman crowd the papers this morn
ing. Indeed. volume might be filled
with details of the extraordinary polit-
zeal career Of Joe" Chamberlain.
