GOVERNMENT INVESTIGATING
RANGE IMPROVEMENT WORK
POISONOUS PLANTS VARIED ON
BY SERVICE
Loss of Stock from Deadly Food Son1e-
times 70 Per Cent-Wlli Be
SuppIanted by Useful
Forage

| WASHINGTON, Sept. 17-Ivar Tide
strom of the Forest service, working I'M
der the direction of Prof. c. D: Marsh OIL
| the bureau of plant industry, has re-
ported that excellent progress has been
made in the important investigations OF
poisonous plants on the grazing lana IN
the Manti national forest In titan.
The improvement of the western range
by the government is being followed
closely by stock growers in the west, and
these Investigations of the poisonous
plants are considered as important as
the reseeding experiments on the ranges
and the other work which is being car
ried on by the forest service for the I'M
provement of the forage
The loss of stock from poisonous plants
| is very heavy in some localities and Stock
men have been known to lose as mucn as
70 per cent of their herd In a year. The
usual loss In regions where poisonous
plants grow, however, is estimated 10 De
| from to % per cent year.
| Mr.. Tidestrom is collecting specimens
of all plants growing upon so-called
poisonous areas, studying their proper
| ties. and trying to find out the best way
to eradicate or check the growth OF the
dangerous plants If the poisonous plants
can be checked useful forage plants Will
take their place.
Little is known about the method of
fighting the growth of these poisonous
plants and the lack of sufficient and re-
liable information along these lines has
heen felt for years by all of the west;
ern stockmen. The forest service does
not ,indend to stop until it has obtained
full knowledge of the plants which have
given trouble to the users OF the ma
tional forests and the stock owners
throughout the west.
