ENTERPMS NATIONAL FORESTS EXAMNERS GOVERNMENT TO APPOINT MEN OF PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE ON RANGE. Washington, Feb. 13. A new gov ernment position la disclosed by the announcement by the U. S. Civil Ser vice commission of an examination which will be held February 23 and 24 to find three grazing examiners for the Forest service. The positions will pay a. salary of $1200 a year at entrance. The announcement specifies that the applicants must be men, at least twenty one years old, and possessed of at least one season's experience In handling range stock, together with at Jeast one year of technical training In specified botanical) studies. The establishment of this position Is in line with the objects which the Department of Agriculture haa always had in view in Its management of grazing on the National forests. It is not merely seeking to prevent cattle and sheep from doing damage to forest growth -and watershed' con ditions, as they graze on the herbage which Is yearly produced to, the open forests, parks, and high, mountain meadows within the National forests. Ramge-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 cap able of doing,, consistently with the carrying out of the other purposes for which the National forests are maintained. The proposal to appoint specialists who are both thoroughly trained bot anists and men of practical experi ence In range matters indicates re cognition of the fact that to attain the highest point of range product ivity the best scientific knowledge must be applied to the study of the problems of forage production! and utilization. As stock graze on the range, the effect on the different kinds of vegetation differs both with Its palatability or unpalatablllty and with Its capacity to produce seed; Its time of seeding, Its resistance to trampling, Its manner of growth, and many other elements. 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 bides on -a given area. This Involves learning how both to restrict and to time the grazing so as not to interfere with the re production of the most valuable ele ments in the forage crop, how to prevent unnecessary loos to feed through trampling and In other ways, how to exterminate poisonous plants from the range, bow to prevent the loss of forage which results from the multiplication of prairie dogs and gophers, whether it Is practicable to Introduce now forage plants by di rect seeding, and many other matters. It Is to look into such matters that the grazing examiners are to be ap pointed. Besides seeking to bring about the recuperation of depleted ranges, the reduction of waste, and the develop ment of ail range to what may be termed an artificial state of product iveness through control of reproduc tion', accompanied, It la hoped, by the Introduction of new forage plants, tho studies planned will aim also at Increasing the area of range avail able. There is much natural grazing lani In the National forests which can not be put to use, either because the country to too rough for stock to be driven in, because shipping fa cilities are lacking, or because of a lack of water. The construction of properly located' roads and driveways and the development of water! through the building of reservoirs) or the driv ing of artesian wells are a port of the general scheme of permanent im provements planned for the National forests. To furnish the basis for com prehensive development of the graz ing resources the range will be stud ied In detail, classified according to the type of vegetation found, and map- pel by "forties.' The observations made will include notes for each for ty aores upon the surface, soil, char acter and density of vegetation, evi dence of over-grazing or wider-use, presence of poisonous plants, damage by range-de&troTlof animal, water facilities, and accessibility. With such data in hand It will be possible to bring about much more Intelligent and intensive use of the National for est range.
