Rodent Control Aided by Emergency Conservation Work Wildlife Research and Management Leaflet BS-54 Produced by Tom Cosmas from materials provided by The Internet Archive. "Rodent Control Aided by Emergency Conservation Work" by Stanley Paul Young is a scientific publication produced by the United States Department of Agriculture in the mid-20th century. This informative work outlines the efforts made through the Emergency Conservation Work (E.C.W.) program to manage and control various rodent populations that threaten agricultural productivity and natural ecosystems in the western United States. It highlights the importance of coordinated federal, state, and local efforts in rodent control during a time when these issues were significantly impacting farming and wildlife conservation. The book details the extensive challenges posed by rodents such as prairie dogs, pocket gophers, and rabbits, illustrating how they damage crops and land, particularly during droughts. Young discusses the training and operational methods of E.C.W. crews who implemented rodent control measures effectively and systematically across vast public lands. Through documented successes, the publication provides a strong case for the necessity of rodent control as part of broader wildlife management and conservation efforts, emphasizing that while rodent control is essential for agriculture, it can also be accomplished with minimal impact on harmless species when conducted thoughtfully and scientifically.
