Abstract
This thesis is an ecological study of the pocket gopher in a sandy loam area of Ellis County, Kansas. The economic importance of the pocket gopher varies with the type of land and with its use. It is rather obvious that the economic importance of the gopher changed with the widespread advent of the settlers into Western United States. From the viewpoint of extensive agricultural practices, the pocket gopher must be considered a menace on cultivated lands. On non-agricultural districts the condition is in general reversed. Most ecologists recognize a definite benefit from burrowing animals on wild land.
