Evidently this population has not competed in small area
nor has productivity failed or young produced. This is
located in wide large old colony, so deep burrows available
in old denastine beyond limits present seen. All activity on
slopes about 5%, only a 5W facing slope today. No movement up
slope on ENE side, where old burrows. Probably only move up-
hill when crowded on lawn (4 were favorable, presumably) slopes.
E. slope above colony principally green Salsola. Where C.L., about
50% of corn in Buckhler, now bearing heads. Bout. groe. more
