Jackman W rites of Oregon s Range Land And How To Improve It With Science Income from Oregon’s ranges— roughly a dollar an acre for range grass—may double In the next 25 years. America’s vast range lands pop ularized by television westerns, are about due for a face lifting, predicts E. R. Jackman, OSC ex tension range crops management specialist. C h e m ic a ls to kill unwanted brush, and machines to seed the land are now available. Pioneer ranchers are leading th e way and experiment stations, such as the Squaw Butte station n e a r Burns are providing the answers. For many years the country’s ranges were pretty much as the westerns portray them: Where, after a lickety-split gallop down the mountain and through the creak “they cut ’em off at the gap” Where herds bawled, flocks ba aed, and horses neighed. Where livestock roamed with buffalo am, played with deer and an telope. Much of Oregon's range land lias fallen into this pattern. "Wes tern” is a misnomer for Oregon’s range land tales, however, be cause most of the state’s range is east of the Cascades, Jackman notes. And a lot of Oregon is range land if you consider all u n p lo w e d land as such, he says. Alxmt 92 percent, in fact. However much of the west side forest is too thkk for livestock to roam so really isn’t thought of as range. Oregon’s range livestock busi ness got a good start about the time Oregon became a state. The big problem was Indians. It was n’t until the last of the Indian wars in 1878 that the big open country was free from Indian at tacks. From then on, there were big cattle drives east. The rail road reached Ontario in 1883. This became one of the west’s big live stock shipping points. After the Union Pacific reached Portland livestock numbers kept booming. Then the Columbia Sou thern built to Shaniko and for many years that little town (sel dom in the news now) was the country point in America that or iginated the most wool. The range was severely over used and nearly ruined. It was open to all coiners, so no one could save it. It went down hill gradual ly and now carries less stock than it did fifty years ago.

A new piece of equipment for research purposes is available for use in the Columbia Basin in an attempt to solvo this continuing problem. The equipment knowm as a "Vertical Mulcher” was develop ed at Purdue University and has lx*en under study for 2 to 3 years in the Mid-West. Last week plots were established on the Sherman branch experi ment station and the Bill Todd field adjacent to the station. The vertical mulcher operates like a field chopper. A 12 foot strip of straw- is chopped and instead of going in a tag-along it is blown into a 15-18 inch trench in the groun !. It is hoped that this straw will maintain this op e n hole and during the summer fallow winter would take in excess water or water running off the frozen ground. The trial was under the direc tion of W. E. Hall and Charles Smith. The project should be interesting to w’atch and if con tinued for a period of years they should be able to determine its success and adaptiveness to our crop land.
