Book Description
Excerpt from Rodent Pests of the Farm The rodents of North and Middle \america include about 77 distinct groups called genera, 44 of which have representatives north of Mexico. These 44 groups include about 750 forms that inhabit the United States and Canada. Many of them live in deserts, moun tains, and swamps and rarely come in contact with cultivated crops. These, therefore, can not be classed as injurious; and, -indeed, many of them are beneficial to the soil, as they stir it up and fit it for future agricultural uses. A few rodents feed largely upon insects and help to keep a check upon the hordes of grasshoppers and similar pests. Certain of the rodents, too, as the beaver and the muskrat, have a decided economic value as fur bearers; while some, as the rabbits and the tree squirrels, afford sport in hunting and are useful as human food.

Book Description
"The annual losses from rodent pests in the United States have been estimated as fully $300,000,000. About two-thirds of the damage is inflicted by house rats and mice (both introduced from the Old World) and the remainder by native species. This enormous waste of resources may be greatly reduced and largely prevented through systematic and organized campaigns against the noxious species. The bounty system effects no permanent relief from rodents and is far more costly than the use of poisons. The Bureau of Biological survey has developed and perfected practical methods of extermination which have been successfully applied over wide territory. The Bureau cooperates with the public in organizing and carrying out systematic campaigns against animal pests and invites correspondence on the subject. Protection of their natural enemies is urged as an important aid in controlling rodent pests."--Page [2].
