SAVING A TOWN FROM FLOODS.
Good work tho Forest Service Did for
Manti, Utah.

GOOu Work inc FOREST SERVICE uiu ior
Manti, Utah.
One of the conditions governing the
grazing of stock on the Western national
forest reserves is that certain areas where
the watershed demands protection are
closed TO the stockmen because the water
shed interests are many times more I'M
portant than the grazing rights.
Two notable cases of this protection
are the Salt Lake City watershed in the
Salt Lake National Forest and tine Manu-
watershed In the Manti forest in the same
State.
In the years before the forest was re-
served by the Government the little city
had been annually almost swept away py
floods. Thousands Of dollars had been
spent by the citizens in building emoank-
ments. but to no avail.
Every year the streets were torn up
and the neighboring fields ruined, says a
writer in Out 'Rs.i. They begged that
the mountain region above them be MADE
into q national forest and that some re-
straint be placed upon the grazing on tine
mountain ranges in order that the forest
cover might be restored and the floods
stopped.
The forest was established after a care
full and systematic examination OF the
area had been made by expert foresters'
and grazing upon a large area was
strictly prohibited for a year.
What was the result on the Manti water
she'd? Within a year from the time graz
ing was stopped the floods began to
diminish The forest cover rapidly re-
turned.
The snow, held in check by the bushes,
grasses and other forest growth, did not
melt away in a day as in the past. ihe
rains that formerly fell on a bare open
ground were now received by a sponge
like covering OF dead grass n leaves.
and these with the living vegetation held
il in check from running OF as fast as 1t
fell.
Four years have passed since the forest
was made, and the danger from Hoods
is no longer known in Manti, while the
flow of water in the little mountain streams
Is more regular and constant than ever
before.
