department of agriculture, "IlanRO
Management on tho National For
ests," by James T. Jardlno, Inspec
tor of grilling, and Mark Anderson,
grazing examiner, gives tho resultB
of tho 14 years' oxpcrlcnco In range
management which tho forest serv
ice has had slnco It assumed charge
of tho forests.
During theso years tho forest
service has beon worklifg steadily
to Increaso tho country's supply of
meat, wool and hides by developing
methods of handling stock oil tho
range which will allow an largo an
Increase as posslblo lu tho number
of shaep und cattle grazed without
injury to thu .forests. With this
bulletin as a guide, grazing can bo
mado moro uniform on different
raugoH, and tho host principles can
bo put Into actual practlco.
Classification of tho rnngo to de
termine tho areas best suited to
tho different clnsgcs of stock Is the
first important stop toward tho best
use of the grazing resource. Cattle
and horses uho a dlfforcnt sort of
rnngo from sheep. Shoop relish
tondor, green follago and tho Rrntus
of many grasses while cattle con
sumo tho coarse grass forage. Cattlo
prefer lovol or rolling country, and
altitudo makes llttlo difference if
tho stock havo been rained on tho
rnngo. Shoop do best on smooth
rnngo nid where tho aummors aro
cool, Thoy can go from several
days to novoral wcoka without
drinking, dopondlng upon tho
nbundnnco of succulent wood for
ago, tho temperature and tho
amount of rain nnd dew Cattlo
need water oftener at least every
(wo days.
Knnn.irkx of Overgrazing.
Overgrazing in a cause or Injury
to the range which mus? bo care
fully guarded against. In tlio past
It has been difficult to know when
a range was overgrazed until tho
damago was considerable. Intens
ive experiments by tho forest servlco
have led to the discovery of n means
of detecting overgrazing boforo It
bus progressed very far. Certain
"earmarks" appear In tho vegeta
tion, such as the predominance of
annual weeds and grasses, like knot
weed, tarwecd nnd mustard, with
a dense stand of such species nnd
lack of variety In species; tho pre
dominance of plants which have
llttlo or no valuo for any class of
stock, and tho presence of dead
nnd partly dead stumps or shrubs.
Noticeable damago to treo reproduc
tion and erosion nnd barrenness
have long been recognized as signs
of tin advanced stage of overgraz
ing. When tho fact of overgrazing
has been drtormluod, tho next stop
Is to find out tho cause. Tho bulle
tin takes up tho various causes In
detail and points out the' remedies
In each case.
Seasonal (Jnulitg Iteneflrlal.
Kstnbllshmcnt of grazing periods
to prevent damago to tho range
Jhrough prematura use has had as
much to do with range Improvement
on tho national forests as tho pre
vention of overgrazing, if not more.
Tho ropeated removal of herbage
year after year during the early
part of Its growing season causes
rapid deterioration of tho range.
Llttlo damago is done after the
plants havo mature seed, but It Is
not practicable to allow all of tho
rnngo to o un grazed until after
tho seed matures. Tho problem Is
to work out seasonal grazing which
will result in tho maximum produc
tion of forage and livestock year
after year. Tho usual way of do
ing this Is to divide tho rnngo Into
sovorol parts und begin grazing
early on n different portion eirch
