Excerpt from Control of the Pocket Gopher in California The damage done by the pocket gopher in the United States has been estimated at over twelve million dollars per year.1 California is one of the chief losers. The depredations by the gopher are locally numerous, involve nearly the entire state, and go on all the year. The losses, taken one by one, may be trivial, but in the aggregate are considerable. These features all taken into account lead to the belief that more damage is done by the gopher in this state than by any other one animal, not excepting the ground Squirrel or the coyote.
