Pocket G0phers.

The pocket gopher is very active in
many sections. He is probably dott-
ing your alfalfa field with dirt piles
then he occasionally lets part of the
water out of your ditch. 1t is rather
4 simple matter to control the pocket
gopher. The method used by the
Biological Survey was demonstrated
on the j. NJ. Wright place in the south
west corner of town. Mr.. Wright
owns eighty acres, part of which was
badly infested with pocket gophers,
Results secured were nearly 100 per
cent the first time over.
Carrots were cut in small cubes,
one-half inch square and one inch long,
The cubes were washed and drained
and mixture of one-eighth ounce of
powdered strychin (alkaloid) and one
tenth ounce saccharine, the two hav-
ing been ground together in a martar,
was purchased at a drug store. While
the carrot cubes were still damp, the
poison was sprinkled on them, the
above amount of poison to one gallon
of carrots. Thorough mixing can be
done on a newspaper which should be
burned as soon as possible. The poison
is applied as follows: Locate the run
way by means of a three eighth inch
iron rod-we found them six to twelve
inches below the enlarge the
hole made by the rod with larger
instrument, we used a pointed shovel,
drop in couple Of pieces Of carrot,
cover the hole with coarse material,
then dirt. Level the mounds as they
check on your work. Mounds are US
ually in groups, ten to thirty or forty,
may be the home of two or three
gophers. If poison is placed at three
or four points it is sufficient. To find
the runway, poke the rod down be-
tween two fresh mounds, or perhaps
in several places around fresh mound
A little experience will soon make you
proficient in locating the runway. The
cost of the poison for a large area is
trifling. The labor cost, Of course.
varies with the conditions Of each
field.
