Their presence comes abruptly to when suddenly for no good conspicuous reason, one of your favorite apple trees, blue spruce, or lilac bushes, or some other plants, wilts and dies in a short period of a few days. A quick glance 'at the drying plant will revealno appar- Even-- if entcause forthe-troublyou suspected gophers, you probably would find no mounds of soil nearby to reveal their presence. So crafty are these clever little animals, that they can tunnel underground long distances and eat off the roots of your plants without leaving a telltale mound anywhere near the damaged plants. About the only wav you can make sure gophers are responsible for the trouble is to locate the dust covered shovel and exercise it a bit around the your-attention NATURAL ALUMCOr AM Stark UPHOLSTERY CLEANED OY All Woric Gvarantnad -- e.

You might start your activity somewhat near the trunk of the tree or shrub, if the entire plant is going down-In the instance that one side is on the way out, that would indicate the area for your exercises. Working, around the- trunk and away a bit may bring Jo light another pest that often causes quick decline in fruit trees, that might be easily attributed to gopher damage. This pest is the larvae of prionid beetle, which can be easily detected without your glasses, since it measures three to four inches in lingth when full grown. To attain this size, considerable root tissues must be consumed resulting iir the loss of the tops,-- as well as the roots. Prionid beetle is most prevalent on the benchlands near native oak' brush, where it seems to thrive. Gophers, on the other hand, show very little preference in setting up housekeeping quarters even though they are usually most numerous on vacant lots and in uncultivated lands. Ditch banks are a favorite habitat of these burrowing rascals, as any ditch rider of any canal company can explain; in fact, they are one good reason for sending a man along the bank of the channel every day or two so that leaks "V, holes re be" hecked 1 ta the bank by the escaping water. CONTROL OF GOPHERS is not an easy matter. For the homeowner the use of cyanoas, which is sold at most garden shops, is usually quite effective. A tablespoonful or two in each opening, that is then closed with a wad of newspaper, often 'gets most of the gophers.-Carr- ot strips dusted with strychnine, that is available at some county agricultural agents office, is often suggested for gopher,, but it not always effective. Three or four ounces of carbon tetrachloride cleaning fluid poured in each opening has cleaned out this pest in some instances. .Grain fumigant, which contains carbon tetrachloride, is used by farmers successfully in gopher control, burls not available in small packages for the -- pH con- to dear cloudy water and trol keep pool water sparkling clear.
