THE GROUND SQUIRRELS OF CALIFORNIA. 775 Tehama, Stanislaus, Siskiyou, Monterey, Napa, Sonoma, Humboldt and Lake counties, and by the United States Biological Survey, co-operating with the division in Merced, Modoc, and Shasta counties. Such cam- paigns were held upon application from the horticultural commissioners of these counties, and proved a great help to them by informing the farming population in these counties as to best methods of controlling ground squirrels and other injurious rodents and in aiding their work of protecting the agricultural and horticultural interests of California. Co-operating with the Rodent Control Division and the United States. Fig. 62. Habitat group, Douglas Ground Squirrel (Citellus douglasi).

That such campaigns have fully justified the efforts of these agencies, is attested by the sev- eral horticultural commissioners, who state that their subsequent success largely has been due to the educational features of the meetings. Following these campaigns, the Rodent Control Division in the month of March asked the 48 county horticultural commissioners for their active support in carrying on a voluntary spring drive against the ground squirrel. This plan was at once welcomed by them, since in 1S3.
