About This Book

The pamphlet describes how an emergency conservation program organized crews and coordinated with federal, state, and local agencies to reduce destructive rodent populations across extensive public and private lands. It discusses training, timing, and treatment methods applied to protect forests, forage, cropland, and erosion-control projects. The text treats specific pests such as prairie dogs, ground squirrels, pocket gophers, kangaroo rats, rabbits, hares, and porcupines, providing species-specific control techniques and photographic or diagrammatic illustrations. It also presents examples of benefits achieved, procedures for safeguarding harmless animals, and a portrait of a typical conservation crew and its field operations.
