Flesh is Inw.s," HnyliiK Which Jw.lde Hotwwn Profit and Lous In beef, milk, mutton products ,(By A. W. Sampson, Associated Pro fonHor of Forestry) Tho old proverb 'nil flesh grass in ii .rulsin which decides for tko stock riiun tho difference between profits and Iorh In beef, milk find mutton production. Today only itnl waln In Reed flesh can bo Hold to nd vantaRO. Tholr inurkotitbtllty and tho price which they command aro Uiitarmlnoit directly by the condition or tho rniiKO "bread bnakot" tho abundance of Reed feed nvallnble the year through. Heretofore tho stockman, natural ly uuourIi, bun nlmply takou what aturu offered him. In many locali ties tho raticu Is produclm; leas than half nH much foraRO iih formerly. Komutlmca tho remaining hair con sists mainly or woods mid poverty Kruss. Nowhere Is the yield of a pasture maintained where leafage Is kept eaten down hh sor.u as It ufford a good blto.

The financial loss reuniting from overgrazing and croppltiR at tho wrong tlmo In tho season Is yo i;roat that It cannot bo oven approximately estimated. Or dinarily iconservatlvo grazing, es pecially If tho RrnzltiR plan fits In with the seed development require ments or thu better foniRO plnnts, rroatly Increases the profits and snb lllr.es the live stock market. AmoiiR the range InvestlKatluns planned, those of first Importauco aro concerned with tho rosoodliig of the native forage plants. Extensive reseodlng trials conducted In various .parts of the West have shown that soodliiR to cultivated plants Is lim ited essentially to moist meadows nud localities whore thu annual pro--clpllatlou Is comparatively heavy. Nil tu m I roscedtug, on the other hand, Is applicable everywhere. This (.i to he expected because the native plants aro tho "survival or tho fit test" for their region; they aro well suited to the soil, and the develop ment of seed Is accomplished In a normal growing season. Tho na tive plants have rought for their lives and won because thoy were tho only ones best able to adjust them--nelves to the conditions under which they live. On thu rungc, curtain nat ural laws determine tho character of tho plant cover. It Is only when gnu Ing Interferes with tho requirements or Rrowth and reproduction that tho native plants dluippor from tho lands. , The chief object of the natural resoedliiR study Is to determine the best methods of IticreaHliiR tho for ro crop over tho State as a whole, with as llttlo Interference .b'potdhht In thu present plans of livestock handlliiR. The .State varies widely In elovatlon, climate, chpraeter of soli, nmoung of precipitation, nud degrees of aridity. The vegetation of tho lower lauds Is composed or u much different lot of things from those that occupy tin minim or ring ed. Therefore, tho roncedlng plans vurloH somewhat. Ilocnuse the seed of plauta growing at tli various eh vnlloiiK ripen at dlffcrim times In the season, It Is Important that the roiled required tor h-m production be determined for all of .h clmpnr 4nut gruzliiR typei. Any marked Improvement in 1(. rango forage Is dapuiiJont u;r.ui vlg orous healthy plant, for otherwise llttlo or no Reed ccd is produced. 15 ii t how In a sold ,-rop to lie deve. oped If tho pastor,! is eroppe I u.fh year? Obviously, h'i stockmen can not afford to nut h range for two or throe years d ir'u '.he nucidiiiK period. .luch a pl.tu Ii neither prne tlcable nor necessary, HeheedlUK High Hiinimee HancN TIio Hystem known as "deferred grazing," which tu!(ui Into account tho growth requirements of tho vege tation Irom tho time that thu seed is developed to the ustnbllshwun: of tho young noudllng plants, has given rouHplcuo'u rosiills wherovor ap piled. On the high summer ranges the essential prlnclplos of dcrbTd gruzlng are: (1) An overgrazed areu BHfflclontly largo to supply tho for age from time or seed maturity until tho end or tho growing season, Is protected rrom Htock until tho Hood crop has matured; (2) upon matur ity of seed tho forage Is grazod closely during tho first season; 3) tho same areu Is protected to about tho same date In tho second season, In order that tho now plants may bo eomo thoroughly established; (1) when the area selected mH i)oou ro seodod it Is grossed early In tho ou tion and a second arua of snlflclont nlzo to take caro of tho atoek to tho end of thq grazing period, Is protect- alternating thu grazing after need , furred grazing demonstrations maturity from una urea to tho other ' testa, la continued, not only during tho , Tho and period required for tho rcaeodlng of each selected area, but oven after the deferred portions have been fully re vcRotatod. Tho rotation grazing plan not only keops tho vogotatlon vigorous at all times hut results In thu forma tion or an occasional Heed crop on each part of tho rango. The use of this grazing plan has resulted In In creasing tho foraRO as much as 300 per cent In u relatively short tlmo. ItescedliiK Foothill Honge Tho fob th III lands are of Hpecial Interest to tho stockmen, (1) bo- cause thoy are the most surlouuly de pleted of any of tho more Important units, and (2) because of their growth of "winter annuals" plauta like wild oats, alfalfn. and bur clover which aro rolled upon to carry tho Htock throuRh tho winter, Generally, the crophiR or these lauds begin In tho fall when I ho Rrowth has startod, nud continues until the herbage dries up In tho nprliiR. Where this plan Is followed to the maximum grazing capacity year artor year tho lauds aro badly run down, ehlotly because no soyd or tho more palatable plants aro pro duced. Actual grazing tests have shown clearly that a good seed crop and In creased teed may he protected, even where tho herbage Is Rrazetl closely, it thi unliiiitlsnru moved rrom a portion of the range by about the middle or March. Thu plan or defer ring thu grazliiR rrom about March K to June 1 has resulted in lu ci easing tdu forage several hundred per cent In a row years. Thu applica tion or tho plan Is dotormlnid large ly by thu possibilities 1) or reserv ing for tho animals a small amount of rango In tho spring In order to protoct rrom cropping a portion of thu range for ruuccdlug, or ('JJ of tor the stock during the period need ed for thu rango plants to dovolopu seed. The deferred grazing plan, when applied on tho roothllls, has Riven I'Xceleut results If the area is grazed up to about March Ui, but protected Iherenfter until Juno I. Moreover, I hero is practically no loss or roniRit oven tho rirst year. Tho additional reed originating rrom the seed pro duced following thu first year's pro tection soon Increnses appreciable the grazing capacity of tho lands, thereby more than offsetlng any dis advantage encountered In providing the necessary protection. When one "I'iiiik protection piau Hiiouiit ue ap plied to another part, and tho rota tion continued Indefinitely, as de scribed In applying the deferred gnu lug system on thu high summer run Res .Stockmen are agreed (1) that their range lands are not support ing In good condition the number of animals they did formerly, and (2) that more and butter forage Is es sential to successful livestock pro duction. Tho HtockniniiV m-j A hlt-or-mlsH plan or range Im provement will not accomplish the end desired. Only reliable Informa tion will have any value. To obtain thu facts needed two sols or experi ments are necessary. (I) the use, first of all, of a largo number of so called "sample" plots, and (2) de- fenced plots should bo con structed this Winter and spring. Thin can bout be done by thu various stockmen's associations, or by the Btncknion themselves. Tho plots need not bo large, 20 to 30 foot on a aide bolng ample. In each county whore grazing Is Important there should bo from 20 to .1G substantially foncod sample plots, Thoy may ho built of panels, or of poles or woven wire. It Ib well, however, to ubo material that will shade tho ground no tnoro than necessary. Tho plots should bo so located as to represent In tho matter of soil and vegetation typical major rango areas. Tho object of tho use of thu renced plots Is to do- tormlug (1) tho wnys and extont of reproduction or tho dUTerent kind of pasture plnnts; (2) what plants aro likely to come In first whore tho doferred grazing plan Is adopted nud tho period or life or the undesirable kinds; (3) thu maximum yielding power of tho range us a whole and or thu dlirorout pasture types; (I) the alt-important matter -of varia tion In the yield in good and bud years. Tho deferred grazing tests should provide for the prelection from graz ing ufter about March lfi to June 1 or a portion of (be range, be it over so small an area In thu beginning. If thu animals cannot be taken olf a portion of tho pasture to permit ihu seed to develop, no enclosure could be constructed, which should bit re moved after tho ripening of tho seed. How to Proceed The first slop In tho development ot the deterred grazing plan is to de termine definitely tho latest date that thu range may be grazed In the spring to procure abundant seed of the best forage plants, Obviously, thu later that the ditto ot protection rrom grazing proves to bo, thu turgor will he the area upon which grazing may bo doferred each season. Tho latest ditto of tho grazing period for seed production will vary somewhat In different parts or tho Htate. In thu southern Interior counties, for example, tho Heed may ripen front 10 days to two week earlier than in the northern Interior and coast counties, henco the protection of tho ritngit rrom spring grnxlug would bo correspondingly earlier. To deter mine once ami for all this Important matter or the period or protection imcesHary, preferably four renced plots or "corrals" should bu estab lished on each range typo studied. Hle of Plot and lit or I-Vnclng (lie plots uro usually suuarn In shape and not less than 20 reel on a side, but they may be considerably larger ir desired. An urea typical or tho range as a whole should bo se lected for the plots; and there should he stilllclont ground for the location sldo by side or the four plots. orten representative range Is round along an established fence Hue. The existing rouco then forms one sldo of thu four plots, leaving only two sides to fence to Inclose the throe plots nfler tho first corral Is constructed. Thu ditto at which each plot Hplcuously placed on thu plot. Area for Deferred OurJug Tho second slop In tho deferred grazing test Is to Hot usldo an area which will typify thu benefits to bo onjoyed from tho praetico of de ferred grazing. While thu acroago for this purpose need not bu largo In tho beginning, It should embrace, If possible, tho different slopes and plant combinations. Until tho dates aro definitely established for tho Btato iih A whole at which tho spring grazing should close on the area to bo reseodod, there should bo no graz ing between March 20 and Juno 1. Normal grazing, however, should ho permitted during tho usual periods aftor seed maturity, hut In thu fol lowing spring grazing should again bo discontinued on the sumo area from March IB to Juno 1, and ,tho practice of spring protection of tho unit continued until tho forage yield has Increased appreciably. Tho ralo or the vegetation is of course de termined by tho number of seed plants present when tho test begins and th ouuiuuul of Heed of good ger mination strength that Is produced. Artor tho rirst deferred grazing area is rovegotated a second division or the pasture In need or reseodlng Is selected ror derorred grazing. Tills plan Is continued until I ho whole pasture Is revegelitted. A LIHT Ob' HII.LH ALLOWED ItV THE COUNTY COt'ltT AT THE .IC.VE ItEOI'LAIt TEK.M, IIWTI. TANLAC IS MARVELOUS SAYS OAKLAND LADY Mm.
