Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Dalles Pocket Gopher and Its Influence on Forage Production of Oregon Mountain Meadows The study of the effect of the Dalles pocket gopher on vegetation was conducted on two adjacent mountain meadows, separated by a running stream, on the Ochoco National Forest ln the Blue Mountains of eastern Oregon (fig. The meadows were typical of depleted mountain meadows in eastern Oregon, and both appeared to have a heavy pocket gopher population. The meadows were in poor range condition, because sheep from a nearby stock driveway had grazed them heavily for many years. The driveway was moved m 1931, and from then until the end of the study the meadows were grazed by sheep as part of a regular national forest allotment. About 30 deer used the meadows dur mg the first years of the study, but their numbers were greatly reduced toward the end.
