Lewiston Cattle and sheep men who
range their stock during the winter
season on the Snake river ranges. both
above and below Lewiston, report an
excellent growth of grass started dur
ing the last 10 days. The heavy show
ers at this season of the year have re-
suited in a great saving to large
number of the stockmen, as much of the
river range was devastated by grass
hoppers late in the summer, and but
for the continued showers at this time
much of the stock would have required
feed until the late fall grass started.
The Snake river ranges afford winter
pasture for thousands of cattle. horses
and sheep that are taken to the high
mountains for summer feeding. The
stock is again brought 20 the river in
the fall and is generally carried through
the winter with little feeding expense.
During the past summer the river
sections We're overrun with grasshop-
pers and large areas of the best range
land We're left barren of feed. Manv
stockmen arranged for stubble pasture
adjacent TO the river, where straw
stacks could be purchased, while other
depended upon the hay crop harvested
ON the river benches. The early
growth of fall feed will relieve the me- |
cessity of feeding and will greatly re-
auee the cost OF wintering the stock.
