THE HERMISTON
COUNTY AGENT BENNION
TELLS HOW TO KILL GOPHERS
Pocket gophers are causing con­
siderable damage in the Hermiston
district, not only to the alfalfa but
to the irrigation system. The gopher
makes long irregular tunnels in their
search for roots, occassionally dig-
ging side passages from the main
tunnel to throw out the dirt, They
are extremely wary and shy of traps
and light so that poisoning has prov-
en the most efficient. J. F. Mc­
Naught, County Farm Bureau pro­
ject leader on rabbit and rodent con­
trol, states that a supply of mixed
es been placed In the hands
D Watson for distribution
of
among the alfalfa growers in this
section. The strychnine and saccha­
rine is mixed up in sufficient
amounts to mix a quart of baits at
one time. The poison is being dis-
+ I +. a Fv Mr Watson at cost.
ns for Poisoning
Cut into pieces about half inch
cubed, sweet potatoes, parsnips, car­
rots or apples.
Wash and drain.
From a pepper box sift four ounces
of powdered strychnine alkoloid and
one-tenth of an ounce of sacchrine
(ground together in a mortar) over
one quart of the dampened bait stir­
ring to distribute ethe poison evenly.
The runways, which are usually
four to eight inches beneath the sur­
face. can be located by means of a
probe made of any strong handle an
inch in diameter and 36 inches long.
One end should be bluntly pointed.
By forcing down this probe near
gopher workings, or a foot or two
back of fresh mounds, the open tun­
nel can be felt as the point breaks
into It. Then a bait or two is drop-
ned into the run and the probe hole
closed.
One soon becomes expert in locat
Ing the runs, and a man can treat
300 to 500 gopher workings in a day.
Baits need he placed at only two
points in each seperate system of 10
or 30 mounds, which Is usually the
homo of a single gopher. In our ex-
perience baits placed fairly in the
open have Invariably killed the
gophers.
The method has found
great favor wherever It has been in­
troduced.
