Extermination and Economic Impact of Pocket Gophers in Iowa
Farmers in Iowa are urged to control pocket gophers to curb losses of about 5090 dollars per county. Expert Fred D. Butcher recommends early spring poisoning using small-cubed carrots parsnips and sweet potatoes treated with strychnine, applied at one eighth ounce per gallon of bait. One gopher can create many mounds. bait each system in two or three spots. Poisoning, followed by traps, is cost effective in heavy infestations. The bulletin Rodent Pests of Iowa No. 153 is available from Extension Service. Additionally eggs prices show low market prices while hatchery income rises from hatching eggs and breeding stock. Horses and mules have declined from 27 to 20 million head 1920–1930 freeing land for crops and improving animal quality through breeding.
