EXPERT IN THE
MANTI FOREST
war TideStrom Making Inves-
tigati0n of Poisonous Plants
on Grazing Land.
Special to The HeraldO [

Washington, Sept. 15.-Ivar Tidestrom,
of the forest service, working under the
direction of Prof c. D. Marsh, OF the bu-
reau of plant industry. has reported that
excellent progress has been made in the
important Investigations of poisonous
plants on the grazing land in the Manti
national forest in Utah.
The Improvement of the western range
by the government is being followed
closely by stOckgrOWers over the west
and these inveStig atiOns of the poisonous
plants are considered as important as the
reseeding experiments on the ranges. and
the other work which is being carried on
by the forest service for the Improvement
of the forage. The loss of stock from moi
sOnous plants is very heavy in some local
tiles and StOckmen have been known IN
lose as much as 20 per cent of their herd
in a year The usual loss in regions where
poisonous plants grow, however, is esti-
mated to be from to % per cent a year.
MIR. Tidestrom's Plan.
Mr.. Tidestrom is collecting specimens
of all plants growing upon so-calIed poi
sOnous areaS, studying their properties
and trying to find out the best wav to
eradicate or check the growth of the dan
gerous 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
been felt for years by all of the western
stockmen The forest service does not in
tend to stop until it has obtained full
knowledge of the plants which have given
ests and the stock owners throughout the
west.

buying may arrest the declining tendency

already accumulated by the great pro-
ducers. The financial burden of holding
these vast accommodations is aggravated
by the clOseness Of the money market.
and credence is given to reports that
banks were unwilling to extend loans
against copper and are, in fact, recalling
them.
The indicated intention to cut down pro-
duction, therefore, seemed to offer no oc-
casion for surprise, but came as a shock
to sentiment nevertheless
Situating Improving.
The relaxation which has come TO the
money markets and which has been pro-
nOunced in all the great centers. was ac-
cepted as a reliable indication that one
great factor in the strain had turned the
corner to Improvement. The success of
the New York City bond issue also was
accepted as pointing definitely to a bet
ter investment situation. The tranquil
lily with which the money market met
the heavy requirement of the payment for
the New York bonds and Union Pacific

Unlnjured Horror Stricken.

One of the passengers who was in the

Il had one OF the seats in the middle OF

in the smoker when the brakes were sud =

hurt. We crawied out from under the
seats and stumbled out of the rear door.
