Less than 20 percent of operators had ever used pocket gopher versity Extension Wildlife specialist Terry Messmer estimates that gophers are eating into the profits at a rate of about $3.5 million per year. Pocket gopher infestations in alfalfa fields not only reduce the quantity of hay harvested, but the mounds created by their burrows cause equipment damage, Messmer says. Based on a survey of Utah alfalfa growers by USU and the Utah Department of Agriculture and Food, growers reported losses of nearly 5 million dollars due to damage caused to their fields by wildlife. Nearly 70 percent of the survey respondents reported the pocket gophers were a primary cause of this damage, Messmer says. He found that, of those farms and ranches reporting damage, only 42 percent were more cost-effecti- ve non-foo- 0. 797-125- 0; il: Airplays offer special challenges traps. Using traps to control pocket gopher invasions of newly established alfalfa fields may be a more effective control measure than the use of poisons. A preventative pocket managegopher long-terment program that employs an aggressive trapping strategy may actually extend the life of an alfalfa field while reducing damages, Messmer says.

If you get sick after a plane flight, the likely cause is contact with a seatmate or failing to wash your hands after a trip to the restroom, says Dr. Lucy Tbmpkins, professor of medicine nothing really special about an airplane in terms of infection except that youre in very close contact with people for a relative- ly long period of time. Many people fear that the recirculating air in an airliner is a special culprit in transmitting colds or other viral infections, but colds and flu are usually picked up from surfaces, such as an armrest or a washroom basin, says Tbmpkins, who offers two useful suggestions for pro(infectious diseases).

First, be sure to follow moms advice to wash your hands after visiting the restroom, even if age schedule in some other way. you just went in there to get a It will depend on which cup of water.

Dontstop medication .just because of a missed dose Written instructions provided with drugs tell people when to take doses, but most people are confused about what to do when they miss a dose, notes a Stanford pharmacist. What youre going to do about it really depends on what medication you missed and what youre taking it for, says Lisa Tuomi, drug education coordina- Tuomi warns, an extra dose can be dangerous if its not rec- so do follow direc- - tions.
