ing where the root was and eats it's
leaves and buds and tender stalks.
The gopher knows when winter is
coming and no farmer makes better
provision for it than he. He digs
cellar under one of his mounds so that
the heaped-up earth above will serve
as slanting roof to shed rain, and
the cellar is so large that he often
stores in it, for winter use three OF
four gallons of chopped up roots,
leaves, stalks and, if he can get them,
potatoes and other vegetables. The
roots of fruit trees are stored for their
tender bark.
His pockets come in handy in laying
up his winter store, for he carries ev
erything in them. He will take an
alfalfa stock and tuck the end into
one of his pockets to a depth of an
inch and a half and then nip it off
with his teeth and poke the stalk next
into the opposite pocket and snip it
off, and then shove it into the oppo-
site pocket again, and so on, first into
one pocket and then into the other,
until he has both filled; then off he
goes to his storehouse and unloads,
and piles it up carefully in dows.
The young are born as early as the
latter part of February, or in March
and April. There is an average of
four to litter. The baby gopher
weighs only quarter of an ounce, but
when he is only ten days old his moth
er begins feeding him tender green al
falfa leaves or bits of vegetables she
has stored up for that purpose. AS
soon as the first green buds appear ON
the crowns of the alfalfa, the mother
and her young begin pulling them
down and eating them. On this rich
food the young gophers grow rapidly
and at the end of six weeks they
weigh third as much as the mother.
Then they begin quarreling amongst
themselves and some night the mother
gets tired of the racket and she digs
an opening to the surface and puts the
whole family out, each to shift for
himself. They go in different direc.
tions and each digs separate burrow
for the pocket gopher always lives
alone; two grown gophers are never
found in the same burrow.
There is only one sure way to rid
the state of gophers and that is by
an organized cleanup campaign with
poison in every township and in. every
county and state where pocket gophers
are pest,' declared Professor Hisaw
"That is the method by which the
prairie dog has been almost extermin
ated in Kansas. Twenty years age
there were as many prairie dogs a
there are gophers now. When the ag
r.cultural college began its poison
campaign, it was generally believed i
would amount to little, but prairi
dog is rare thing in the greater par
of the state of Kansas now.

SOAS~OS -
meeting in the form OF cooperation v
In five other states-C California,
Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Utah
1T was agreed at subsequent confer
ences that bankers agricultural COM
mittees would meet at the state agri-
cultural colleges and, in cooperation
with the college officials, work out a
program that they would recommend
to the banks.
The Texas Plan
Il was at the Texas conference that
1t was developed that the officials OF
both the bankers association and OF
the state college felt the big problem
for that state was the establishment
Of system of collective, orderly mar
keting. In order to bring this prob
lem effectively before the farmers and
the bankers 1t was agreed to hold
banker-farmer meeting in December.
Efforts will be made to get from 200
to $50 bankers to attend, each banker
to bring with him several representa-
tive farmers Of his community. The
program and demonstration will en-
phasize the need of meeting the mar
keting problem and point ways to q
satisfactory solution.
At Athens, Georgia, the conference
recommended that the State Bankers
Association take steps to raise fund
for assisting deserving students to
complete a college course in agri-
culture or home economics. This
conference, recognizing the valuable
work being done by county agricul-
tural and home demonstration agents,
also went on record as favoring the
employment of agents in each county.
At the Raleigh, North Carolina, con-
ference the pressing problem, in addi-
ton to loans for worthy students, was
held to be encouragement of the farm
or to practice greater crop diversified
tion The conferees felt that the first
big step was to get farmers at least
to produce sufficient vegetables, fruit,
milk, meat and poultry to live on.

agricultural colleges
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1923-10-11

Many farmers, it was brought out, now
depend entirely on the cotton crop,
and buy the products named for their
own tables.
Z More Economical Credit
At the conference at Ithaca, N. r,
those participating felt that a better
understanding between farmers and
bankers would be beneficial to both.
At present q large amount OF the cred
it used by farmers Is in the form Of
mercantile credit, which, 1t was point
ed out, is much more expensive for
them than bank credit It was felt that
q campaign Of education is needed to
acQuaint farmers with banking facili-
ties. The conference, therefore, rec
commended that the Agricultural Com
mittee of the State Bankers Associa-
ton, the agricultural college and rep
resentatives Of the Farm Bureau and
the State Grange get together for the
purpose Of working out programs and
plans for further meetings to be held
in the various counties of the state.
At conference held at Amherst,
Massachusetts, there were represents
tives from Vermont, New Hampshire,
Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Con-
necticut. Emphasis was placed on the
Importance OF the Boys and Girls
Club work. The New England confer
ence also felt that the importance Of
bank credit over mercantile credit
should be stressed. A resolution was
adopted and is being sent to agricul-
tural committees in each State urging
that they get in touch with their agri-
cultural colleges and map out q pro-
gram for educating the farmer in re-
gard to the Importance and the econo-
my of bank credit over mercantile
credit.
The emphasis on this resolution
came not SO much from the bankers
present as it did from the representa-
tives Of the agricultural colleges and
the farmers.

Coed Advice fer Bankers

Z. J. Bodman, representative of the
Agricultural Commission OF the Amer
ican Bankers Association for the
Eighth Federal Reserve District.
says: Every one of the more than
80 1000 banks In the United States
would make more money by helping
our six and one-half million farmers
to make larger profits. The banks
and business interests Of the entire
country cannot make the largest prof
its until the farmers as a whole have
reasonable returns from their invest
uents and labor. This includes every
bank, from the small ones in the
country to the largest ones in the
great financial centera."
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1923-10-11

That is to say, in substance, that
agriculture must be put on par in
efaciency Of method with other Big
Business.
