RESTRICTIONS ON
GRAZING LAND
1t Is Claimed That Consider
able Damage Has Been Done
in Manti Forest.
Especial 10 The Herald-Repubiican)


Ephraim. Dec. 9.-Acting upon evil
dence which has been laid before the
secretary Of agriculture of damage TO
agricultural and other interests
through too heavy grazing on certain
watersheds in the Manti national forest
I'm Utah. Secretary Wilson has reduced
the amount OF stock which will be al
lowed Co Craze on this forest next year
to 16.50O head OF cattle and horses.
and $4,000 head Of sheep.
This is a reduction OF 1000 i'm the
number OF cattle and horses, and 20
900 in the number Of sheep.
There has been great apprehension
among the farmers and townspeople
who live along the streams fed from
these watersheds lest overgrazing
should seriously icopardize their inter
est The range was badly overcrowded
and abused. with the results that the
natural covering OF vegetation was
largely destroyed. the soil was loosened
and conditions favorable to rapid ero-
sion were created. The high slope be-
gan TO gully so that when the heavy
transforms broke upon the mountains
the canyons poured down mud-laden
water upon the towns and farms
with these flood streams were car
ried down heavy boulders. logs and
driftwood Not only was standing
grain washed down and fields covered
with piles OF gravel and other debris
but streets and lawns were overlooked
with water which on its retreat left
behind IL a thick layer or sediment.
Water supplies for domestic use were
contaminated from the presence Of
stock on the watersheds as well as
from the soil washed down. The towns
of Ephraim. Mt. Pleasant. Huntington.
Orangcville. FerrOn and Salina were
damaged. Between 1896 and 1902. Il
is estimated that AIanti suffered to the
extent Of from $4,000 to $4,000.
Last spring Chief Forester Graves
visited Ephraim and was impressed by

the Manti forest The prohibitions OF
grazing I'm Manti canyon I'm 1903 had

! proximately two miles I'm width from

step &c has been necessary TO reduce
the total number Of stock Erazed upon
the forest, and while reduction win en-
tail some embarrassment and incon-

ers. its general result is expected to be
Of great benefit TO the community.
