sonous plants from the range, how to
prevent the loss of forage which re
sults from the multiplication of
prairie dogs and gophers, whether it
is practicable to introduce new ror

many other matters. It Is to look
into such matters that the grazing
examiners are to be appointed.
NEW AG RICTXTCRAIi
EXPERIMENT ASSOCIATION
A new government position is dis
closed by the announcement by the
TJ. S. civil service commission of an
examination which will be held Feb
ruary 23 and 24 to find three grat
ing examiners for the forest service.
The positions will pay a salary of II,
200 a year at entrance.
The announcement specifies that
the applicants must be men, at least
20 years old, and possessed of at least
one season's experience in handling
range stock, together with at least
one year of technical training In spe
cified botanical studies.
The establishment of this position
Is in line with the objects which the
department of agriculture has always
had in view in its management of
grazing on the national forests. It
is not merely seeking to prevent cat
tle and sheep from doing damage to
forest growth and watershed condi
tions, as they graze on the herbage
which is yearly produced in the open
forests, parks and high mountain
meadows within the national forests.
Range-fed stock are a matter of de
cided Importance to the American
people in these days of rising prices
for food products and diminishing
supplies, in proportion to population,
of livestock; and therefore Secretary
Wilson intends that every acre of na
tional forest range shall be made to
produce as much forage as It is ca
pable of doing, consistently with the
carrying out of the other purposes
, for which the national forests are
maintained.
Ever since the forest service took
over the management of the national
forests, it has been studying the range
problem along with its regulation of
grazing. In the beginning it was
confronted with the fact that a very
large part of the range had been
badly abused and depleted througn
the competition of rival owners be
fore any restrictions had been put
upon them, and by overcrowding and
bad methods of handling stock. Its
supporting power had in consequence
been greatly reduced, and was stead
lly declining. To enable overgrazed
areas to recuperate, and to prevent
the extension of overgrazed conditions
o new areas, the amount of stock to
be allowed on the forests was every
where carefully prescribed. The re
suits were then observed, and if it
appeared that there was still over
use of the range, the numbers per
mitted were cut down still further. On
the other hand, where recuperation
lias taken place the allowance ot
stock has been correspondingly in
creased. The proposal to appoint specialists
who are both thoroughly trained bot
anists and men of experience in
range matters indicates recognition
of the fact that to attain the highest
point of range productivity the best
scientific knowledge must be applied
to the study of the problems of for
age production and utilization. As
slock graze on the range, the effect
on the different kinds of vegetation
differs both with its palatability or
unpalatability and with its capacity
to "produce seed, its time of seeding,
its resistance to trampling, Its man
ner of growth and many other ele
ments. What is aimed at now is nothing
less than to find out all the things on
which depend the production of the
largest amount of beef, mutton, wool,
and hides on a given area. This in
volves learning how both to restrict
and to time the grazing so as not to
interfere with the reproduction of the
most valuable elements in the forage
crop, how to prevent unnecessary loss
to feed through trampling and in
other ways, how to exterminate poi-

Snow Spoils Joseph Skating.
Joseph, Ore. Sunday's snow spoiled
the skating on Lake Wallowa, For the
first time in many seasons the lake
froze and the freezing was followed
by several windless days. The , ice
was but two inches thick and as clear
as plateglass. Hundreds skated all
over the lake, which seldom freeses
from end to end, a stretch of about
five miles.
the agricultural development of the
state and nation by experiment and
other means," is one of the resolu
tions passed at an enthusiastic meet
ing at the college.
The new movement, typical of the
agricultural awakening of the entire
nation, is in recognition of the fact
that all advance on scientific lines
of Agricultural development must
come from exhaustive experiment,
conducted under widely varying con
ditions of soil and climate.
The association has as Its object
the furtherance of the interests of
every branch of agricultural endeavor
in the state by means of tests, ex
periments and the collection of data
in cooperation with the Oregon ex
periment station at the college, with
the dissemination of the resultant
knowledge throughout the state.
Although the movement has been
started by the short course students
of 1911 at the college, membership Is
open not only to all other college stu
dents, now and in the future, but also
to every progressive farmer in the
state who desires to aid in advancing
the agricultural interests of Oregon.
Prof. C. I. Lewis, head of the de
partment of horticulture at the col
lege was honorary president, and the
following officers for the first year
were elected: President, Leonard
Carpenter. Medford; first vice presl
dent, A. W. Peters, Hood River; sec
ond vice president, Q. R. Booth, Yon
calla; third vice president, Mrs. Ellen
R. Brlggs, Portland; fourth vice pres
ident, John R. Loy, Beuna "Vista; di
rectors, W. B. Allen, Richreal; J. M,
Dickson, Shedds; W. P. Dickerson,
Hood River: S. W. Jameson, Dell;
and E T Raddant, Siletz; secretary
Stanton Grlffis, Medford; assistant
secretary and treasurer, Rev. William
Orr, Corvallis.
The next meeting of the association
will be held December 3, 1911, at the
college, though the annual business
meeting and election of officers, as
provided in the constitution adopted
is to be held every year during the
farmers' week at the close of the
winter short course.
Among the charter members of the
association which will probably in
elude the entire 254 short course stu
dents, are, among others. C. N. Ben
