"Hofer was one of the men selected by Edmonston from among the woodsmen employed on teh Northeastern Oregon Bark Beetle Project for a permanent appointment as Agent. Previous to his employment by the Bureau of Entomology, he seems to have been engaged in mining activities around Sumpter, Oregon.

Edmonston had Hofer with him on all of his moves after the Northeastern Oregon Bark Beetle Project closed down. They were together at the field stations at Klamath Falls and Ashland, Oregon, Colorado Springs, Colorado, and Tucson, Arizona. Hofer was promoted from Agent to Entomological Ranger and then to Scientific Aide and had reached the Senior grade when he was retired in October 1927 for disability."
