Mr.. Kuchler states that the ranges
in Idaho have been better this year
than for a number OF years past, and
that the sheep are In better condition
than ever before The sheep men,
he says, are becoming reconciled to
the plans of the forestry department,
and they are ready now TO cooperate
with Pinchot in the preservation work
instituted by him.
The forest service, no doubt. has
greatly benefited the sheepmen this
year In the preservation of the ranges.
and we now begin TO see that it is a
good thing" says Mr. Kuchler, ''and
am inclined to think IL would be n
wise idea for the government TO take
charge OF all the public lands of the
country that arc not suitable for agri-
cultural purposes, and handle them for
