WITH SHEEP
lNDUST RY
DRY FARMING ACREAGE SEPAR-
ATGS RANGE.
Moving of Vast Herds Each Season Be-
coming a Serious Problem to
Sheep Interests

Present indications are that the rap
i'd development of dry farming is
bound to seriously interfere with the
sheep industry OF southern Idaho by
another season at least. This is the
opinion of many who are aware of the
constantly increasing dry-farmlng
acreage separating the summer range
! OF western Wyoming and south east
ern Idaho from the wintering range
| on the Nevada deserts. AS these dry
! farming districts multiply the lanes
and driveways for the passage of
! sheep to and from their range will
| gradually diminish in size and num-
| Der until IL Will be necessary to either
abandon the winter range and feed
in the vicinity of the summer range,
| or ship the stock by railroad
From two hundred thousand to four
hundred thousand sheep are moved
back and forth each season from one
! range to the other and large portion
of them now pass to the north of the
! Pocatello national forest in order TO
reach the Caribou forest summer
range. The sheep interests have been
agitating the idea of establishing
sheep trail through the Pocatello for
est for some time. requesting that a
strip one mile wide be given over
for that purpose. Such strip would
insure a certain amount of feed for
the animals while passing through. an
advantage which is not possible at this
time If the narrow lanes to the south
are followed. BY the lattor route the
sheep are forced TO go two OF three
days without feed BY taking the
northern route around The Pocatello
forest, feed can be secured along the
way but the distance is considerable
farther
Assistant District Forester F. w
Reed has returned from an inspection
of the proposed trail and has practical
~ decided against H. Such a trail
would mean to cut out at least seven
square miles of cattle range from that
section of the forest. district which
is already oveTstocked There arc
about LOO head Of cattle and horses
feeding on that range at the present
time, the number OF permits having
been reduced 700 head this year. Sew
en- square miles of range means 5000
acres-enough for 800 head of cattle,
and it was not considered a fair deal
for the settlers and owners Of cat
tie and horses already there to cut
off large percentage of their avail
able feeding ground.
Although there Is no official author
ity for the statement, 1t is no doubt
true that such trail would neces-
state constant watching to prevent
passing sheep from encroaching still
further into the forest for feed than
the half mile asked for. This would,
in turn necessitate the employment of
two or three extra forest employees
during the trailing season
Thus far there has been no practical
solution for the problem. 1t Is against
the interests of settlers and the for
est users to allow the sheep 10 pass
through, while upon the other hand,
to forbid the same will mean to pre-
vent the use Of natural resource
the winter range on the deserts OF
northeastern Nevada.
