Do Plants Breathe?

Respiration is part of the nfe Of

1t is a series of chemical changes, the
first of which is the absorption of

which is the exhalation of carbonic
acid. Any organ adapted to this
double work the inhalation of oxy-
gen and the exhalation OF carbonic
acids a lung, though, of course.
the organ is much more rudimentary

The correspondence given out Is
as follows EH
Febraury 2o,1sOs.-The honor.
able, the Secretary of Agriculture.
STIR ,ferring TO our recent
correspondence regarding co-opera-
tion between the departments. there
Is one very important matter which
at this time should be called 10 your
attention, namely, the grazing Of
sheep on portions of the National
Forests located on areas tributary
TO streams used for irrigation.
Requests have come to me In writ
Ing and orally from irrigators and
from the officials OF the Reclamation
Service that every reasonable effort
be made To restrict grazing by sheep
on the lands from which water flows
to the streams used in irrigation. or
TO reservoirs constructed for con-
serving the water supply There
are many complaints of overgrazing
because OF resultant injury To the
irrigators. Al this time. when the
subject OF the use OF the grazing
lands during the coming season Is
under consideration, Il is advisable
to give this matter even more care
ful consideration than In the past.
My trip through the West last
summer and interviews with num-
erous men representing varied in
terest has led me 20 the conclusion
that the question OF sheep grazing
rs affecting irrigation Is one toI
which we should devote mach at
tentlou, N wa are 20 aid In the con-
servatiou of the water resources for
he greatest benefit 70 the largest
lumber of citizens
I have the honor to request that.
rs far and as raplly as may be prac-
.icable. sheep be restricted on. or
when necessary. excluded from the
watersheds OF streams now or Inn
nediately TO be used for irrigation,
ina that as 10 other watersheds |
leld for future irrigation projects. |
,heep grazing be carefully restricted. |
such restrictions are needed not only |
or the lands reclaimed by the fed
raj government. but. as well, for
hose reclaimed under :he Carey
md Desert Land laws. Very truly |
