THE CALIFORNIA SQUIRREL Causes Millions of Loss to Agriculture Annually We are in receipt of a report from the Department of Agriculture at Washington, D. C., on the California Ground Squirrel, by C. Hart Merriam, from which the following interesting facts are taken: Ground squirrels are among the most destructive of our native mammals, causing losses to agriculture amounting to upward of ten millions of dollars each year. Most of the western states are overrun by them. California is no exception, having within its borders not less than three genera and a dozen species. Of these the most important in its relation to man is the large gray species variously known as the California, Digger, or Beechey ground squirrel. It is about the size of the eastern gray tree squirrel, and like it has upright squirrel-like ears and a long bushy tail. It has two near relatives—the Douglas ground squirrel, which ranges from the north side of San Francisco bay northward to the Columbia river; and the Rocky Mountain or Plateau ground squirrel, which in California is known only from the canyons of the Colorado river and the Providence Mountains on the east side of the Mohave desert. The California ground squirrel, because of the extent of its range, and which covers the greater part of the agricultural lands of the state; because of the magnitude of the losses it causes by eating grain, nuts, fruit and other crops; and because of its dangerous character as a carrier and disseminator of bubonic plague, is, of all our species, the one of greatest tracts them from adjoining lands, so that they become more abundant on cultivated lands than elsewhere. This species does not hibernate except in the mountains, although in the foothills and valleys the animals usually stay in their burrows during stormy and severe weather. At the upper limit of their range, where the ground in winter is covered with snow, they may remain underground long enough to be said to hibernate, but over the greater part of the state they are out in numbers every month of the year. In the oak foothills, when the acorns are ripening in September and October, these squirrels become fat and lazy, and many may be seen about the numerous mounds enjoying the sunshine. The time of breeding varies somewhat with the locality, animals living in the north, in the mountains, and along the coast breeding later than those in the hot country. The young are usually born in March or early April. Pregnant females have been killed at various dates from February 15 to May 12, and in the warm country young old enough to run about are usually common in April. Now and then small young are seen as late as the middle or latter part of August, indicating that they were born in late June or early July. Whether or not these are cases of a second litter is not known. The number of young at a birth varies from 5 to 11. The average number over the greater part of the state is 8, but along the borders of the Mohave desert it appears to be reduced to 6 or 7. The food consists, according to the season and locality, of acorns, fruits, seeds of various plants, and green herbage. Acorns are a favorite food... The California ground squirrel, because of the extent of its range, and which covers the greater part of the agricultural lands of the state; because of the magnitude of the losses it causes by eating grain, nuts, fruit and other crops; and because of its dangerous character as a carrier and disseminator of bubonic plague, is, of all our species, the one of greatest consequence to man. The danger to human life by the spread of plague so far exceeds in importance the harm done by the destruction of the crops that the duty of checking its increase is no longer merely of local interest but has become a matter of national concern. The California ground squirrel ranges from Lassen Butte and Susanville in northeastern California southward east of the Sacramento valley to San Francisco bay, and south of the bay overspreads practically the entire state and pushes southward into the peninsula of Lower California, avoiding only the higher mountains and the more arid deserts. Its handsome subspecies (fisherl) inhabits Kern and Owens valleys, the borders of the Mohave desert, the upper parts of San Gorgonio Pass, and other localities in Southern California, and occurs as far east as the Coso, Argus, and Panamint mountains. The Beechey ground squirrel abounds along the ocean shore from San Francisco southward; it inhabits the open plains of the great interior valley of California, the grassy chaparral slopes of the foothills, the rocky walls of canyons, and in places the more open parts of the yellow pine forest of the mountains. It lives in underground burrows which usually are roupged in colonies. The colonies may be located on bare open plains, on the grassy slopes of foothills, or about the roots of trees—particularly the great valley oaks with hollows in their trunks and the limbs. The burrows vary in number from a few to hundreds, and by the union of contiguous colonies sometimes reach a total of thousands and cover almost continuously many hundreds of acres. In places they are so near together as to fairly honeycomb the ground. Well-beaten paths 2 1-2 to 3 inches broad, lead from burrow to burrow and radiate to the adjacent feeding grounds. Many of them extend for considerable distances and by intersecting form a conspicuous network. The earth brought up from each burrow is deposited at part of August, indicating that they were born in late June or early July. Whether or not these are cases of a second litter is not known. The number of young at a birth varies from 5 to 11. The average number over the greater part of the state is 8, but along the borders of the Mohave desert it appears to be reduced to 6 or 7. The food consists, according to the season and locality, of acorns, fruits, seeds of various plants, and green herbage. Acorns are a favorite food and where obtainable are gathered and stored in large quantities. The principal money loss attributed to ground squirrels results from their depredations on grain. They devour barley, wheat and oats when the seed is first sown; they dig up and carry away the sprouting kernels; they invade the fields of ripening grain and feast upon it continuously until harvest time; and when it is cut and stacked they concentrate about the stacks and attack it vigorously, eating all they can and laboring tirelessly to carry the remainder to their underground storehouses. At a single stack near Jamesburg, in Monterey county, a few years ago 300 ground squirrels were caught in traps and many more poisoned; and in July, 1907, Vernon Bailey saw fully 200 about a barley hay stack at Capistrano, in Orange county. The principal natural enemies of the California ground squirrel are coyotes, badgers, gray foxes, bobcats, weasels, golden eagles and rattlesnakes. Ground squirrels are good to eat and a few years ago were regularly sold in the San Francisco markets. They have always been prized by the Indians, who roast them over the hot coals and devour them eagerly. Old animals at times have a rather strong flavor, but the young of the year are usually excellent. Recently, however since the squirrels have been found to be carriers of plague, the public health and marine hospital service has warned the public of the danger of handling the animals. The Asiatic or bubonic plague is now endemic among the ground squirrels in the region immediately east and south of San Francisco bay. In this area during the past year the public health and marine hospital service has found more than 387 squirrel infected with plague. The squirrels contracted the disease, without doubt, by contact with European rodents at the seaport towns about the bay. Ten human cases, of which seven or eight were fatal, resulting from a few to hundreds, and by the union of contiguous colonies sometimes reach a total of thousands and cover almost continuously many hundreds of acres. In places they are so near together as to fairly honeycomb the ground. Well-beaten paths 2 1-2 to 3 inches broad, lead from burrow to burrow and radiate to the adjacent feeding grounds. Many of them extend for considerable distances and by intersecting form a conspicuous network. The earth brought up from each burrow is deposited at its mouth to form a gradually enlarging hillock, and colonies on the plain may be recognized at a distance by the mounds. The animals are diurnal, and in the larger colonies hundreds may be seen at a time, some scudding swiftly over the ground, some rolling in the dust, some basking in the sunshine, and some standing erect on their haunches gazing over the country or biting off the stems of grain, tarweed, or other plants on whose seeds they feed. The seeds not eaten on the spot are tucked away in the cheek pouches and carried to underground storehouses for future use. While living mainly on the ground the squirrels are good climbers, and are often seen in oaks and other nut-bearing trees and also in fruit trees and tobacco trees. They are not migrants in the proper sense of the word, their journeys being limited to short distances, as from one locality to a neighboring one, according to the season and the fluctuations in the food supply. Thus at Banning, in San Gorgonio Pass, S. E. Piper of the biological survey found that after the young were big enough to travel many of the squirrels abandoned the grain fields and moved down to the orchards, where they remained during the dry season to return to the grain fields in winter or early spring. The cultivation of grain or other crops usually at The Asiatic or bubonic plague is now endemic among the ground squirrels in the region immediately east and south of San Francisco bay. In this area during the past year the public health and marine hospital service has found more than 387 squirrels infected with plague. The squirrels contracted the disease, without doubt, by contact with European rodents at the seaport towns about the bay. Ten human cases, of which seven or eight were fatal, resulting from ground-squirrel infection, have been reported. The poisoned grain should be scattered (not placed in heaps) on clean hard places about the colonies—on the squirrel trails between the holes, along fences and roadsides, and in other places frequented by the squirrels. Poisoned grain falling in soft dust or in foxtail grass or other dense cover is wasted. A weighty factor in determining the success or failure of poisoning operations is the time of year at which the work is done. The best season for poisoning is the dry season. This varies in duration from year to year but on the average begins in April and continues until the middle or end of October. Wanted—Stable manure. C. C.

The nation, the states, and private interests are doing much to attract settlers to this territory, especially to the irrigated portions of it, and in consequence the demand for knowledge on the part of settlers is greater at present than can be supplied. With a view to alding those who are seeking to make homes in this region, a number of lines of work have been inaugurated, the more important of which may be briefly reviewed. To secure knowledge on certain fundamental subjects, investigations have been in progress in the Great Plains area under the supervision of the Office of Dry-Land Agriculture since the spring of 1906. Experimental work is now under way at thirteen stations, located as follows: Judith Basin and Huntley, Mont.; Williston, Dickinson, and Edgeley, North Dakota; Bellefourche, South Dakota; North Platte and Scottsbluff, Nebraska; Akron, Colo.; Hays and Garden City, Kans.; and Amarillo and Dalhart, Tex. The work at all these stations is identical. Cropping systems, including continuous cropping with a single crop (such as wheat, corn, oats, or barley), alternate cropping and summer tillage with these same crops, and many crop rotations of crop succeeds under more arid conditions. The cold and drought resistant alfalfa which were referred to in a recent report as having been obtained in Siberia are still under test, and it is hoped that out of them, by the breeding and otherwise, there may be secured some strains of great value to the northwestern sections of the United States. Cultural methods as affecting the growth of forage crops in this dry region have received considerable attention. The methods of growing alfalfa in rows have already been referred to. Similar methods have been applied to growing certain grasses, with good results. In portions of the drier regions of Texas very promising results have been secured from alfalfa growing, using the crop as a pasture for hogs. It has been found that where the alfalfa is pastured growth is more abundant, owing doubtless to the much smaller evaporation of water. The evidence at hand seems to indicate that when alfalfa is pastured in these dryer regions it far outyields the crop grown in the ordinary way. Breeding to secure drought and cold resistant crops for this region is being pushed vigorously. Promising results in breeding alfalfa, millet,and certain types of sorghums have already been secured. The annual production of durum wheat at present, though difficult to determine before taking a census, appears to be at least 50 million bushels, and probably comes nearer to 60 million. The important fact however is that a rough estimate shows that nearly two-thirds of this production is in districts so dry ordinarily that other wheats cannot be successfully grown, thus having made it possible place as a semidry land crop in middle Great Plains region and lying rapidly extended into the mountain dry-land districts. The past year the work with dicrocereals has been extended so at the present time a comprehensive series of experiments is under at Amarillo and Dalhart, Tex.; Colo.; Bellefourche and High S. Dak.; Williston and Dickins; Dak.; Judith Basin, Mont.; Utah; and Moro, Oreg. The mental work at each station is derer the charge of men specially fled along the lines of grain immei ment and familiar with the teetn in which the station is located though these experiments in this present form have been running three years, and some of them even a shorter period, the thus far obtained in determining suitable varieties for each land and the best dates and rates of ing have proved of great assistance to old and new settlers in all the country. It is found that maize farmers in this region where planting cereals grow mixed wies. This alone has probably assists to do with the low average yield acre in the United States as an her factor. One of the objects of work in question is to enable mers to obtain pure seed of dicrocereal kinds of wheat adapted particular districts. A very important line of invention and study has for its object development of hardy winter ties of grain crops. During the year winter wheat was grown at Liston for the first time, the yielding nearly 40 bushels per acre Bellefourche, S. Dak., winter has matured two years in success. loss attributable results from grain.

The squirrease, without European roams about the of which seatal, resulting Closely affiliated with the foregoing work is that undertaken in cooperation with the Reclamation Service and at the request of the officers of that service. The Reclamation Service is proceeding with the development of its irrigation projects, and as these are being completed the necessity for advice and assistance along agricultural lines becomes more and more evident. The cooperation undertaken by the Bureau of Plant Industry involves close relations with the experiment stations in the states in which the projects are located. The new regions have peculiar and often unusual agricultural conditions and present problems that are complicated on account of the special crops grown and the limited number of workers at hand. Field stations have been established on the projects proper. Through these field stations the investigators of the department are able to be of direct assistance to new settlers by putting the results of their investigations into practice where such results can be seen and appreciated. The work therefore partakes in part of experiments, in part of tests of various crops, and to a certain extent of direct demonstrations. The demonstration work can not as yet be very rapidly pushed, owing to lack of the knowledge regarding the character of the crops that can be grown and how they should be grown. The forage crop problems for the dry sections fall within four principal lines: (1) A thorough testing of the most promising crops at hand; (2) new methods of culture for alfalfa, basin and huntley, mont.; williston, Dickinson, and Edgeley, North Dakota; Bellefourche, South Dakota; North Platte and Scottsbluff, Nebraska; Akron, Colo.; Hays and Garden City, Kans.; and Amarillo and Dalhart, Tex. The work at all these stations is identical. Cropping systems, including continuous cropping with a single crop (such as wheat, corn, oats, or barley), alternate cropping and summer tillage with these same crops, and many crop rotations of two, three, four, five, and six years have been established. Crop sequence, green manuring with both legumes and grasses, time of plowing, depth of plowing, effects of tillage both before and after seeding, and in short, practically all the various combinations of crop sequence and tillage methods suggested or practiced in this region for the conservation of moisture are being carefully studied. The annual production of durum wheat at present, though difficult to determine before taking a census, appears to be at least 50 million bushels, and probably comes nearer to 60 million. The important fact however is that a rough estimate shows that nearly two-thirds of this production is in districts so dry ordinarily that other wheats can not be successfully grown, thus having made it possible during the past year to add materially to our wheat crop during the time of scarcity and high prices. Recently two additional interesting facts have developed: (1) The great interest taken by several of the largest mills in the country in the manufacture of patent flour from durum wheat. One of these, a Minneapolis firm, now employs a mill of high capacity exclusively on durum wheat. (2) The rapid increase in use by foreign countries of our export durum wheat for bread flour. The export now averages considerably over 20 million bushels per annum, of which nearly or quite one-half goes to central and northern Europe,and where it is used chiefly for bread. Recently there has been an extension of the durum-wheat area into the western portions of the Great Plains and Intermountain districts.A number of new mills have been added to the list of those that grind the wheat, some of which are using it exclusively. Examinations of a number of samples received from different parts of the country show that recent reports of the deterioration of the wheat are unfounded, but have caused by the fact that much of the grain shipped east was produced in humid areas not adapted to durum wheat and often mixed in with other lots of better quality.American millers need to become more familiar with the quality required in wheat of this class. Durum wheat has now made its results in breeding alfalfa, millet,and certain types of sorghums have already been secured.
