The chief problem that the Utah
stock grower has had to meet is that
of providing summer range for his
stock. OF winter range Utah has an
abundance, the large deserts alone be.
ing enough to support the sheep Of the
state in a normal winter. In addition,
Utah is thickly dotted with pros,
porous farming communities where
the quantities of forage produced are
oftener in excess of the demand than
otherwise, and where in many cases
the feeding of live stock affords the
only means of disposal. This condi.
tion created a keen demand for spring
and summer ranges, a demand coppli
Gated by the strong competition be-
tween the stockowner who winter
grazed his stock at points remote from
the summer range, and the owner who
winter fed his stock upon the
products of his ranch adjacent to the
summer grazing lands. The result was
not hard to forecast. Ranges became
