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

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.
