LITTLE ATT ENTION ~
...1'5,... TO GOPHERS HERE
Expert Finds Only 1910 Was Paid
Last Year In Bounties-Other
Counties Pay Big Money.

Either Lee county Is sparse1y set
tied with gophers or else the induce
ment for the capture Of the animals is
not attractive to the particular Lee
county folks, for according to com.
parison Of the figures of the counties
of the state this one just abouts foots
the list in the gopher business. Day
ton Stoner of the biological section
of the Iowa geological survey, was in
the city today getting little south
eastern Iowa gopher Information
which will be used in connection with
the publication of gopher bulletin
by the state department with which
he is connected.
Gophers are the only rodents on
which bounties are compulsory in
Iowa. ten cents apiece being paid for
them. They are accounted for by the
bringing to the county auditors Of
flee of the claws. A fair idea Of the
number of the pests is some sections
Of the state may be gained figuring
from the gopher bounties in some
counties of the state. In 1913 Harri-
sen county paid $3.50 in gopher
bounty Several western counties
pay about $4,000 each year. Lee
county in 1911 paid in gopher boun-
ties $3.50. in 1912, 500, in 1914
s17.7O. The 1912 figure for this
county is said by Mr.. Stoner TO be
next to the lowest he has found in the
state.
