USE OF SHEEP IN REGEN-
GRATING OvERGRAZED RANGES

Stockmen throughout the west will
be gratifed to learn that Uncle Sam
Is studying the means for using sheep
10 regenerate overgrazed ranges,
Unique experiments now being con.
Quoted by the United States forest
service at the experiment station with.
in the Wallowa national forest IN
| northeastern Oregon demonstrate that
he grazing OF sheep under proper re.
strictions Is an important factor In
the work of reseeding overgrazed
ranges.
The problem being studied is that
OF restoring to depleted ranges their
original covering OF mountain bunch
grass. the scientific name of which Is
Festuca viridula. This grass is one
OF the most important of the summer
forage plants in the higher ranges of
the northwest and its rapid disappear
ance from the ranges by reason of
overstocking could only be regarded
s-a-9ircrt economic loss to the stock
men. Special attention has therefore
been given to the restoration of the
grass by the plant ecologist of the
forest service. and his latest report
shows that thorough reseeding has
been secured upon the areas to which
a protective grazing system has been
applied III
In the initial stages three different
methods of reseeding were used. Upon
one area the seed was allowed to
drop 10 the ground without treatment
The seed was brushed In with brush
drag or harrow on the second tract
and upon the third band Of sheep
was passed over the area In a compact
body twice. ais summer IT has been
found that the area not treated has
tue lightest stand of seedlings, while
the resulting Seeding stand on the
other two areas showed but little vari-
alton 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 narrowed 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 1t indicates that denser and
more drouth resistant stand OF bunch
grass can be secured where the sheep
are allowed on an area utter the
plants have seeded and dropped the
seed than where they are excluded
throughout the entire season. This
discovery is confirmation of the prac-
ucability of the plan to use ranges
during alternate spring and fall pc
RODS SO that thorough reseedlng may
be secured by natural means.
