THREE THOUSAND GOATS
Will Be Employed by Uncle Sam to
 Construct Fire Line.

NOhStAu ut EuN A<ihc-
 Three thousand angora goats herded out on the brush covered foot hills of California are going to do some hard work for Uncle Sam during the coming two years beA inning this spring The exper- iment will be unique both as a stock raising proposition and as an engineering and tree culture prob lem.
 The little white animals whose long wool is of such great value are going 10 be put to no less task than constructing mile after mile of fire line through the bushy chap arral growth in the National For ests, saving much labor by the United States Forest Service engi- neers and making way for for estation by mercahantable trees. Not the least important feature of the experiment, which for the first two years will be confined to the Lassen Forest, is the fact that the task will be performed during the regular grazing by the goats which will not even raeize they are doing a valuable work.
 Plans for carrying on the work are outlined in cooperative agreement drawn up by the Forest Service and the owner of hand of angora goats grazing on the Lessen National Forest of California. The scheme is to run fire lines parallel with the contour of the slopes by cutting trails about eighty rods apart. These trails are to serve as guides for the angoras. They will graze in each direction from the trails. killing. it is estimated, a strip of brush about 300 yards wide. The wide lanes cut out and grazed by the goats will serve as ideal fire lines in protecting the forest covered lands lying beyond and around the cbaparral areas. and also make place for reproduc- tion of merchantable trees
 For the past two years the gov ernent has been carrying on perma- nent improvements in the National Forests on an extensive scale. and the construction of re lanes and trails has been one of the most inn portant features O f the work. The task of clearing the ground and providing land for good forest trees is, however, perhaps the most important benefit expected to come out of the experiment.
 The proposed work of the angora goats may finally solve the chapar- ral problem which has been trouble some in the state of California for many years. The bushy chaparral growth chOkes out seedlings of val uable commercial trees which may get a start and when dry is one of the worst kinds of fire risks. Often
 SiUdil OidLC WlllCu Sldi lS III lN gains such headway in few min utes as to travel hundreds of yards and lick into valuable stands of merchantable timber.
 The protection to be afforded by the goat-built fire lanes, therefore, may at last bring relief to the state. which in the past has had it's full share of timber loss through destructive forest fires. At the same time, a large amount of chap arral will b. killed out to make room for the growth of good trees that produce lumbre, If proven successful at the end of two years the work will be carried to Nation. al Forests in other sections where chaparral has choke'i out good for est trees and created dangerous fire risk
