USE OF SHEEP In RESEED-
ING RANGES.

The government is studying
means for using sheep to regen-
crate overgrazed ranges. Unique
experiments are now being con-
Quoted by the United States For
est Service at the experiment
station within the Wallowa Ma
tional Forest, in northeastern
Oregon, demonstrate that the
grazing OF sheep under proper
restrictions is an important fac
tor in the work of reseeding over
grazed ranges. The problem be-
ing studied is that of restoring
to depleted ranges their original
covering Of mountain bunch
grass.
In the initial stages three diff
ferent methods of reseeding were
used. Upon one area the seed
was allowed to drop to the
ground without treatment. The
seed was brushed in with brush
drag or harrow on the second
tract, and upon the third a band
OF sheep was passed over the area
in a compact body twice. This
summer it has been found that
the area not treated has the
lightest stand of seedlings, while
the resulting Seeding stand on
the other two areas showed but
little variation in density, but
later, during the period of
drought the seedlings on the
area brushed over died out bad
ly, while on the area upon which
the sheep narrowed in the seed
there was very little loss, the
sheep having tramped the seed
into the soil about a half an inch
deeper than that which had been
brushed in.
So far as the investigation has
been carried it indicates that a
a denser and more drouth resist
ant stand OF bunch grass can be
secured where the sheep are al
lowed on an area after the plants
have seeded and dropped the
seed than where they are ex-
Guided throughout the entire
season.

to Commissioner Curtis and alike to the Grant
county assessors.
This was somewhat of new departure for the
commissioners to meet with county supervisor
and assessors, and was the result of a motion in
troduced by Mr.. Starr of Rock county, as follows;
Resolved, That the members of the tax COM

auaI county meetings of local assessors as they

In the discussion of the above the sentiment
expressed was that it should include the county
board as each member is called upon TO vote upon
the final county assessment.
In my annual report for 1907, there was in
serted for investigation table OF averages IN
the several counties of the state. This was COM
piled by the supervisor of Polk county, IN the
northwest corner of the state. The following Is
from the southwest and compiled by supervisor
J. G. Steinman of Green Co. Mr.. Steinman is not
a stranger to many of the citizens of Grant Co.,
and his work as a supervisor of assessments Is IN
the front rank.
This report will show in detail the value OF a
complete list of properties estimated by me,
and the values of the same pieces of property as
fixed by the several assessors in the respective
assessment districts.
The value fixed by me has not been determined
by actual sales in many instances. and in such
cases the consideration verified by other in
formation than that found in the recorded in
strument. The values fixed at the true value con-
templated by the law are intended to be safe and
conservative. The number of pieces taken IN
each assessment district is as large as could well

branch of the duties of the Office. and as could be
