Excerpt from Control of the California Ground Squirrel According to Dr. C Hart Merriam, 'of the United States Biological Survey, the national loss to agriculture through depredations of ground squirrels amounts to at least 10 million dollars annually. No other state suffers more, or as much, in. This regard, as California. The loss due to the ground squirrel ln California alone has been placed at as high a figure as that given above for the entire country, so that it is a conservative estimate to put the annual lo'ss due to ground squirrels in this state as not less than five million dollars.
