IMPROVING WESTERN PASTURE LAND

Professor n S. Shalcr suggests in
Science plan for improving the great
pasture lands of the West. II is well
known that westsof the meridian OF
Omaha, the greater portion of the
United States is unfit for tillage, that
much of this Western land is covered
with scant herbage-twenty acres
being necessary 10 sustain a single
head of stool, and that any improve
ment of this area of natural pasturage
would add greatly 10 the wealth of
this country. lie suggests the intro
duction of fresh wild forage plants
from abroad. The countries that are
likely to furnish plants calculated TO
flourish in region of low rainfall in
clude large part of the earth's sur
face. Those that would succeed in Da-
kota are not likely TO do well ia Texas
or Arizona. For the northern region,
the nplands of Northern Asia or of
Patagonia are the most promising
fields of search; while for the middle
and southern fields, the valley of the
La Plata, Southern Africa, Australia
and the Algerian district, may be
looked TO for suitable species.
The experiment of introducing and
testing these plants, he says, is natur-
ally one for the general government to
undertake, but IL need not be costly.
"Threc experiment, stations-one in
the northern part of Nebraska, one in
Texas and one in Arizona-would
serve the needs of a thorough trial.
Ten thousand dollars per annum for
each station would meet all the ex-
pcnscs Of sufilcien trial at least I'M
sil il was proven that the experiment
would be successful. IL we add the
expenses of travelling student of wild
forage plants (pcrhaps another five
thousand dollars), we would have q
sufficient basic for practical work. II
the result should be 10 increase by
0uly one-tenth the Observation-Disclosures
power Of our wild lands, the effort
wonld be worth millions per annum to
the nation. When we consider that
