GRESHAM. Or, Jan. 20. (Special-)
Theodore H. Scheffer, of the Fed
eral Bureau of Agriculture, has been
detailed to conduct & publicity and
demonstration campaign in Multnomah '
County on methods of dealing with the
mole and gopher pest, but particularly
In regard to the mole, which has a pelt
with a value of from 10 cents to 2i
cents. These mole pelts are used in
making fur trimmings on garments and
also for fur sets.
Mr. tcheffer will be In Multnomah
County irom February 5 to 10. and will
co-operate with S. B. Hall, county ag
ricultural agent, giving lectures and
demonstrations on how to prepare tho
pelt for market. Ten or IS lectures will
be given at places where there is an
interest being taken in the work. Mr.
Scheffer comes at the request of the ex
tnsion service of the Oregon Agricul
tural College, and is well fitted for the
work.
The common large mole of Western
Oregon, long considered a pest of tho
meadows, gardens and lawns, is Just
now attracting considerable attention
as a fur-bearing animal. Moleskin gar
ments, fur sets and trimmings are
strongly in fashion this season, espe
cially in the larger cities of the East.
The pelts of the American moles art
in demand for the first time in the his
tory of the industry, it being hard to
get Importations from the London fur
markets. This demand ham been cre
ated by the activities of the Bureau of
Biological Survey of the Federal De
partment of Agriculture, which has
been conducting extensive experiments
in tho methods of trapping tho moles''
and preparing the skins for market.-'

cial.) While protests against the Em
erson cold storage bill before Congress
