Forestry, contained 2IS. 900 feet b. NJ. of
Red Fir, II 900 feet of Hemlock, and
5000 feet of Cedar; making total stand
of 236, 800 feet The smallest fir on the
acre was three feet in diameter and the
largest eight feet The height OF the
forest approXimated 800 feet. The hem
lock was scaled down to 20 inches in di
ameter, and bad it been scaled to ~ or
II inches, as customary in the East, the
stand would have been several thousand
feet greater. This acre was measured
near Wilkeson, Washington, about 80
miles from Tacoma. The average stand

SECRETARY WILSON, OF the Department
OF Agriculture, has received communi-
cation from Secretary Hitchcock. of the
Department Of the Interior, asking his
aid in solving the problem of grazing in
the western forest reserves. The Divis-
ion OF Forestry will commence immedi-
ately an investigation which will last
several months. The controversy over
the alleged evil effec of sheep grazing
has involved western cattlemen, wool
growers and farmers in bitter war for
many years, and the recent increase OF
irrigation has added to the bitterness,
government action in the matter has
been FASTENED by the establishment of
forest reserves. In view OF the injury to
the forests IN many sections from over
grazing, all reserves except those in Or
egon and Washington, and the Black
Mesa Reserve, in Arizona. which is to be
opened to 3O0,0 900 sheep at cents head,
are closed TO sheep by an order issued
last May. This step has raised a storm
OF protest from woolgrowers, who insist
that no harm is done by grazing under
proper restrictions. Many are reported
TO have driven their herds into the
mountains last summer in defiance of
the law. Against the sheep owners are
arrayed the sattlemen and farmers, and
especially the irrigators, who claim the
practice means disaster to agriculture in
the lowlsnds. These argue That sheep
destroy the forest cover in the noun
talns and thus diminish the water sun
ply. They are said not only to eat the
young growt which is to perpetuatc the
forest, but to tramp down iunumerable
seedlings and destroy the LAYER of leaves
necessary to keep the soil in good CON
dltlon. Sheep herders are accused of
burning large areas in order to secure a
growth OF glass. While the government
Will decide the matter only in the case Of
the forest reserves, these include large
part OF all the summer ranges OF The
western sheep-raislng states, and the r.-
suits will be OF great Importance to the
American wool-growing industry. As
no general rule can I've applied, each re-
serve will be studied separately. The
first step of The Division OF Forestry will
be to collect impartially the testimon,
OF both sides. Lists OF questions will le
sent to thousands OF sheep men and
their opponents. About July j IN ex-
animation Of tbs reserves will begin.
A number OF botanists, irrigation ex-
perts' and similar scientific men will be
secured from all parts of the United
States and they vii spend several

Crop Bulletin No. I.

mate and Crop Bulletin of the Weather
Bureau, Washington Section, for the
week ending Monday, April 9th.
The winter was an unusually mild and
open one, which had very beneficial
effect on the growing crop OF fall wheat.
There was but one moderate cold spell,
that OF the middle of February, and no
severe ones, consequently fruit trees
were uninjured. There was no snow
worth mentioning west Of the Cascades,
and very little east of them.
March was very mild and pleasant
month, with a temperature about deg.
above normal throughout the state.
Spring opened early, fruit trees begin
nlng to bloom about the 18th, and COM
ing into general bloom by the 31st, ex-
cepting apple trees. The month was not
excessively wet, consequently there was
was opportunity for spring blowing and
seeding, which was extensively done.
Grass grew luxurianty throughout
the winter in the western section. Pas
turage is now very good, and clover has
fine start.
The week ending Monday, April 9th,
was showery, although it was warm, ex-
cept on the 9TH, Stn and 9th. Wet wea-
Their interrupted blowing and spring
seeding, which is considerably more
than half done. There were heavy show
ers on the 9th, with high winds which
stripped off good many fruit blossoms.
On the Eth rain, hail and snow fell alter
nately, the snow melting as it fell, and
the temperature fell rapidly Heavy
trosts were general over the state on the
mornings OF the 8th and 9th, and it is
feared that they may have done consid-
cradle injury to fruit buds snd blossoms.
Apples are hardly far enough developed
to be injured. The greatest damage, if
there is any, is to apricots, peaches
prunes and cherries. Up to the 9th of
the month the outlook for fruit crop
was one OF the most promising ever
known, as the trees were laden with
bloom and there had been no cold rains
or irosts.
