Laaa Has Dssn Fenced BY the
Lessas.

Washington D. C., May 19.-(Special
to The neutrality-suspicious. Rich
ards of Wyoming. In reply to a query
from Chairman Lacey, Of the house
committee on public lands, has made
a strong plea for the enactment of gen.
eral legislation looking to the leasing
of vacant public lands for grazing pur-
poses. Governor Richards reports
that the leasing system, which has
been followed In the state Of Wyo-
ming for several years Dast, has work
ed to the benef. OF the public as well
as the stock owners.
He reports that there are now W
two million acres in Wyoming leased
under local laws. Outside Of school
sections, all OF this land has been sell
ected by the state and nearly all of it
carries water for stock purposes. The
average rentals that the state receives
is a trifle over five cents per acre per
annual. The length of leases is FIVE
years. .l
The results Of leasing have been
very gratifying where the land has
been fenced by the lessee" he says.
81 estimate that the feed upon the
leased lands in which l am personally
interested, in the central part of Wyo-
ming, that have been fenced for from
six to eight years. has improved about
100 per cent in the production Of grass.
Many of u valuable grasses in this
semi-arid region require r~eseeding and
we have found that by protecting the
grass until the ses1 natures. that the
turf rapidly becomes denser. producing
an increased amount. Of grass from
year to year. SHOULD the grazing lands
be leased and feeesd and managed in
diligently, they would produce twice
as much grass - they ore producing
in their natural state"
The governor shows that the ag:
gregate rentals in 1895 covered 1868
acres, while in 1901, 96,535 acres were
under lease, and 1t is estimated that
10000 will be rented during the cur
rent year.
This Ia an evidence of the extreme
Of the leasing system
says Governor Richards in conclusion.
land in this connection I beg to make
the statement that the clamor from
a great number Of small ranchmen for
land IN lease ia VERY atroup and that |
they almost universally feel as though
they car not continue in their bust
of live stock raising unless they
have the advantage of some leased
land which the state can not give after
its supply is exhausted"

The branch was little more than q
