Deen Open U:M ESQUIRE iCM PELICAN ) TOWER FRIDAY! Cattlemen, Forest Service Heads Clash At Grazing Hearing (Continued From Page One) lease at a reasonable figure by the cattlemen. Till I he cattlemen deny, saying that there la little If any land available and this not al any reasonable figure. Havlry Dorrls, chairman of tha advisory board far the permittees, led off the debate with the state ment that In his opinion "the rang was In good shape and capable of carrying at least the full number of cattle now allowed " Surveys made during and since 1947 have shown, said Dorrls, that not only are cattle rt.mlng off the ranges In good shape l.ut that there la feed left alter the ft ailng season. Diirrls told the views of the rat Hi men Involved, aaytng that the fniest aervice la reluctant to co operate with the storkmen, and that they did not keep the ram-hera In formed of work done or planned. He said that the only time the advisory board was contacted by the forest service for discussion was In the rase of a squabble between the cat tlemen themselves. Little work has been done, said Dorrls, In tha way of range Improvement, with only a lew acres of land reseeded and a rruple of water troughs built on the ange. Tim Cut Another rancher involved. Luke Miller, accused the forest service of shorientng the time of his non-use permit and ordering him to art his rattle back on the range. The for est service, said Miller, had offered him a proposal to move his cattle to the Davis Creek area, out of the critical area but he felt that the lack of drift fences would make It too difficult lo hold his cattle on tin new range. Millrr also testified that there was plenty of feed In the area and It was capable of support ing more than the number of rattle now on It. Much the same testlm-my was heard from Harold Parman. a Lake City area rancher. Merrill Ward, a Lassen Creek allotment permittee. Garland Cundilf, Myrtle Creek rancher and Charles Benton. Mo doc rancher. The ranchers were all Unanimous In their belief that the range is In good shspe and that there Is tittle sign of overgrazing evident on the rangr. A few arras, they say, show overgrazing, but they are all In spots Into which the rattle drift and don t leave. Drift fence might be a solution to this problem. Fire Hazard D. E. "Sharkey" Dorrls. president of the Modoc County Stockmen s auoclallon. took the stand to say that due to poor management of the fo:est lands the fire hazard has In creased to an alarming degree over the years. Heavy brush and thick glasses during the fire season are blsmed. The heavy brush prevalent In the area la also a cause of losing much snow. It holds It olf the ground and allows It to melt rapid ly, thus losing much of the stnrabl water as well as adding to the men ace of erosion. The forest service contends that the range In question was seriously overgrazed and the cut were the only feasible way of putting them back in shape. P. A. Thompson of San Francisco, regional lorester. testified for the service saying that the plan objected to by the cattle, men was not an order but was only a tentative plan engineered with the view in mind of putting the range bark In shape. There has been a serious loss not only of grass but topsoll In the area, said Thompson, and unless atepa are taken to correct this measure the range will eventually become weless due to the loss of good grasses and the substitution of low er classifications and brush. Roll Loa Charles Joy. range specialist for the forest service, explained that It was the view of the forest service that the area waa overgrazed and that a great deal of the topsoll In the area had disappeared. The soil, said Joy. In the Warner area I not too good to start with, and much work that has been success ful In other portions of the country would not be applicable to the area. He summed up their stand by aay tng that the cattle had grazed out the bunch grass, which had been replaced by cheat grass, much low er In food value. Unless prompt steps are taken the good grasses would go. Both Thompson and Joy spoke of .' cv r.r- CIVIC SIRVICI AWARD for outstanding work wild th Klomoth Falls Junior Baseball leogut ol the FOE was re cently presented to John Argetsinger (left) by Fraternal Order of Eogles Slats President Web Loy. -Ferrbra-KeMlpr.

I Cattlemen refuted this with a I statement that the forest service haa J already done a great deal of re seeding In other aires and quote one ! official as saying that they now have the technical knowledge needed (or large-scale resenting ol grass In the sage brush zone of the United State. tiurvry Try 1 The storkmen have started at ! tempts to hsve a survey of the re- gum made by K. R. Jarkman of I Oregon Htate college. Jai kman was 1 quoted during the hearing as a soil and range exiiert by both aides. John Ebiuger of Klamath Falls, a natlnmil director ol the Iaak Wal ton Irngue of America, spoke lor the .sportsmen's groups and the pub lic at large asking that all possible range Improvement be done. Fred Cronrinlllrr and Jim Stoata spoke lor the lish and wildlife service In saying that plans were under way to get a close check on the game In the area and to see that no undue dam age to browse was brought about through overpopulation of deer In the area. Both the cattlemen and the forest service expressed themselves a willing In cooperate on any sound, forceful plan that rnuld be arrlveii which would meet the approval of both parties. ttnsplrlon ' "A wall of suspicion has been bull , up between tha two groups.'' ' Thompson, that Is doing nuhi prevent dlrert anion. "If we rsa eliminate that problem we shall ba much closer to a final solution to the problem. Then we can sit (loan and talk It over." he said. The cattlemen, represented by Forrest Cooper, of Lake. lew. wet also on record as being willluz to roorrate as Ion as the cuts sits not pushed to surh a point as to threaten the Industry.
