Kansas biologist A. He. Oman notes pocket gophers multiply in fall by rearing four to five young per pair. They damage alfalfa roots, leaving fields uneven and plants stunted. Practical control starts with locating new burrows in autumn and applying poisoned wheat systematically.

Dairy cows show high milk and butterfat yields in associations
Rural dairy improvement associations report cows yielding unusually high milk and butterfat. Records show average 7200 pounds of milk and 252 pounds of butterfat, with some associations exceeding 300 pounds of butterfat annually. In Ottertail Minnesota, cows averaged 200 pounds of butterfat and earned about $101 net per cow after feed costs, prompting USDA optimism on cows returning $28 per dollar spent on feed and $100 above feed cost as good indicators.
