:' Snow In Umatilla Forest
' There Is stlU plenty of snow In the
range lands of the Umatilla national
: forest, according to Bernard Leo, rangd
supervisor, who has returned from an
extensive survey of forest districts.
The snow will hold up putting stock
on the ranges for some tlmo yet, but
' will be a boon to forage prospects this
spring and summer besides aiding
stockmen In the water supply as
many springs dried up a yoar ago.
The snow while retarding spring
work on lines and trails over tho
forest will also retard the forest flro
hazard.
Snow over tho forest Is declared to
' be the deepest of any season since
1916 when heavy fall was recorded.

and some thawing of the snow the
latter part ot the week has given
some encouragement and many be

Superintendent Richards says some
work will be continued with farm
flocks of sheep but that major at
tention will be given to studies of
factors effecting the calf and Iamb
crop of range cows and ewes. One
project was recently completed here
In this field, dealing with the effect
of age of breeding heifers on the calf
crop. Continuing work will deal with
effect of different methods of win
tering on the calf and lamb crop and
related studies.
The dairy unit here will be con
tinued as a practical farm herd, matt
ing maximum utilization of hay and
pasture. The hog feeding work will
be transferred to Corvallls, other than
just enough hogs to run in connec
tion with the dairy unit. At the home
