SHEEP TO REsEED RANGE
Unique Experiment Being Made By
Federal Government in
Wallowa District

WASHINGTON, Sept 21.-Stock-
men throughout the west will be graf
lied to learn that Uncle Sam is study
ing means for using sheep to regen-
crate overgrazed ranges. Unique ex-
periments now being conducted by the
United States Forest Service at the
expert ment station within the Wal
Iowa National Forest in northeastern
Oregon demonstrate that the grazing
of sheep under proper restrictions is
an important factor in the work of
Ireseeding overgrazed ranges
The problem being studied is that
of restoring to depleted ranges their
original covering of mountain grass,
the scientific name of which is Fes-
tuca yiridula. This grass is one Of
the most important of the summer
forage plants in the higher ranges
of the Northwest and it's rapid dis
appearance from the ranges by rea-
son of overstocking could only be re-
garded as a direct economic loss to
the stockmen. Special attention has
therefore been given to the restora-
ton of the grass by the Plant Eco
logist of the Forest Service, and his
latest report shows that a thorough
.reseeding has been secured upon the
areas to which a protective grazing
system has been applied.
In the initial stages three different
methods of reseeding were used. Up
on one area the seed was allowed to
drop to the ground without treat
ment. The seed was brushed in with
brush drag or harrow on the sec
ond tract and upon the third 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 seed
ling 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 badly, while on
the area upon which the sheep har-
rowed in the seed there was very
little loss.
Closer examination developed the
fact that the root systems of the seed
which had been tramped in were one
half to one inch deeper in the soil
than the root systems Of the seed
which had been brushed in, this con-
dition being due to the fact that the
seed was ground into the soil more
deeply by the sheep than by the
brush harrow.
So far as the investigation has been
carried it indicates that a denser and
more drouth resistant stand of bunch
grass can be secured where the sheep
are allowed on an area after the
plants have seeded and dropped the
seed than where they are excluded
throughout the entire season. This
discovery is a confirmation of the
practicability of the plan to use
ranges during alternate spring and
fal. periods so that a thorough re-
seeding may be secured by natural
means.

soil in good condition to be planted
in wheat as soon as the corn is cut
off and the ground is disced in early
September or late in August.
Professor r. w. Thatcher, director
of the experiment station at Wash

and said THAT is the ideal corn
for this country. A large acreage of
this should be planted and it will do
much to solve the summer-fallow pro-

The future progress of Montpehers
public schools, especially the high school,
depends to large extent upon the result
of the election to be held next Tuesday.
If. by their votes, the citizens OF Montpelier
refuse to grant authority to the school
trustees to issue the bonds asked for, the
high school building cannot be completed
and the work that has been mapped out by
the trustees will have to be abandoned.
In fact the high school will, in all probabili-
tv, have to be discontinued next year.
This would certainly be long step back
ward-one that Montpelier cannot afford to
take, but we have little fear that the peo-
pie wish to take this step.
If the bond issue is authorized, the
trustees will be enabled to complete the
building, equip it with all the apparatus
necessary to conduct thoroughly modern
high school department, construct side
walks around the block and beautify the
grounds Every dollar of the money asked
for will be judiciously expended for the up
building of Nlontpelier's schools and placing
them on a plane with the schools of Poca-
tello, Blackfoot, Idaho Falls, and other
progressive towns in this progressive State
of Idaho
The people of Montpelier have shown
their loyalty to the cause of education DUR
ing the past two years, and the excellent
showing that the schools are now making
should serve as an incentive for them to
assist in, pushing the schools along 10 a
higher degree of efficiency. Onr schools
have already begun to act as magnet and
are drawing people to Montpelier that their
children may reap the benefit Of the educa-
tional facilities offered. The people of
Montpelier are now asked to increase
the power of that magnet by giving the
trustees authority to obtain the means by
which to continue the excellent work that
has been inaugurated Will they do it?
The Examiner believes they Wilt believes
that on next Tuesday there will not be d
vote recorded against the bond issue.

Now that local option law has been
placed upon our statutes, in what way does
the Legislature propose 10 provide funds for
the schools in such counties as may vote
s.dry2'' The funds derived from liquor
license have in the past materially aided in
maintaining the public schools of the state,
but if this fund is withdrawn from the
schools in half or two thirds of the counties,
in what way will it be replaced? Some
will say increase the rate of taxation, but
Montpelier examiner. [volume] (Montpelier, Idaho) 1895-1937, 1909-02-19

that will be unjust for the burden will fall
upon the property owners, and the Lord
knows that in nearly every county in the
state the tax rate now is up to the top notch
It is fact that the saloons receive a very
large per cent of their revenue from the
non taxpaping class, who thus indirectly
contribute to the support of the public
schools. How many of this class would, if
called upon, contribute the amount they
now spend monthly in the saloons, to the
schools? Not one in Thousand. The
Examiner cannot help but feel that the
question is serious one, especially in this
state where but few OF the schools can i'll
afford to lose the money they now receive
from liquor licenses.
