a late bulletin of the New Mexico
College of Agriculture and Mechanic
Arts, by E. 0. Wooten, botanist, con-
tains much valuable Information upon
the range problem in New Mexico.
A part of the book is devoted to a dis
cussion of the extent, condition and
relative value of the range; the appor-
tionment of lands; the kinds of forage
plants, weeds and poisonous plants, and
topography and climate. 1t is pointed
out that, of the 1850, 900 acres in the
territory. 90 per cent will probably
never be used for anything but grazing.
while 9S per cent is at present so used
to a greater or less extent.
The lands of the territory are
roughly divided into: Mexican grants
100000 acres; railroad subsidy
grants, 100000 acres; territorial
lands, 100000 acres. patented lands
Including homesteads, mining claims
etc, 100000 acres; government re
serves 100000 acres unapproprlated
lands, nearly 100000 acres. Some
thing over 100000 acres are cult
waited. There is very little true desert
In the territory, such consisting only of
recent lava flows, the white sands, salt
flats and some few high peaks
About rs per cent of the area of the
territory is covered with blue grama
grass and its allied species. The black
grama prevails in the extreme south
and along the benches of the Rio
Grande valley. Other grama grasses
prevail in the Hachita country and
along the Guadalupes, Organs and Ca
bailos. The salt grass occurs in the
salt flats and river beds. Arizona fes-
cue is found in some high mountains,
or 800 species of grass reported, 90
per cent enter into the forage crop,
but twenty-five or thirty varieties fur
nish the bulk.-El Paso Herald.
