mails ruin gardens and Injure field
crops. Besides all this they kill trees
in orchards and forest paintings by
gnawing of the roots.
Two practical methods Of killing
pocket gophers are always possible
trappIng and poisoning. The first
method is slow, but very effective on
small arens or where but few pocket
gophers are present; the other Is the
better plan on large fields and for CO.
operative work on adjacent farms.
While the ordinary steel trap may be
used successfully for pocket gophcrs.
much better results can be obtained
with the special traps for these AMI
mails commonly on the market. In
:rignted districts. where water Is
available, flooding the land will drive

by men and dogs. FumigatiOn OF the

Burbank told me about this wonder

Until now he has kept It. secret for

"The average Weld will run about
