FRENCH FORTUNES.

In France large fortunes are not the rule According tO the statistics of legacy duties paid in 1909. anly only recently published. a disposition of Sl.l5S. 100000 was made among 579.41S succession5. says Financial America Of these fOur-fifths varied between S20O and S2.060. FOrty-siX exceeded S1 .O00. 900; ten exceeded S2.000.000 and only two exceeded $10.000,0O0. The total duties paid amounted to S54.25O- 100. Whatever wealth is contained in France it is very evident. from these statistics. is largely subdivided among the masses. And while the French cannot point to colossal individual for turned in France it $ very evident. from this country. on the whole it is probable the lot of the average Freu,n citizen is not less cOctented than that of the average citizen of this country.

the annual grasses and weeds come in There is. on the other hand. every
 where a heavy growth of perennial grasses. The most abundant of these perennial grasses is mesa or croWfoot grama (Bouteloua RothrockiD. It
 has spread remarkably over much of
 the area and is now appearing over the lower parts. though of course slowly. over much of the better country 1t is as thick on the ground
 as it can get with ordinarily favor
 able conditions. and 1 assure you
 there is as much feed on this re-
 stored area of grama grass nov as
 grows on three or four times the
 same area under open range condi-
 tiOns. for the plants are larger and
 at least three times as thick on the
 ground.
 Then there is black grama. which
 always grows among shrubs. When
 this land was fenced you could only
 find an occasional plant of black grama, in fact. an old time botanist
 would have had to hunt to get enough plants for herbarium speci- mems. Today it is growing in nearly every shrub and occasionally out in the open areas. Not only that, but it fills the shrubs full and grows in tangled masses over their tops. Black grama is one of the most nu- tritious grasses we have. It's many fine tangled stems remain green throughout the winter season. and that is why horses and cattle like it so well. It does not stand close graz ing nor tramping. which explains its rapid disappearance under grazing especially close grazing The old settlers tell us this was for merly one of the most important grasses and that its growth filled the bushes everywhere, and believe them. especially after seeing what it has done in the way of recovery after seven years protection
 Another plant that has increased as much or more is Texas poverty grass (aristida divergens). This is one of the triple-awned grasses, and it isn't a very good grass. but it has some value. Where formerly there were scattered plants. now it is very abundant within the enclosure at these high attitudes. and at the close of a growing season its heads. which break loose from the plant. like the old i fashioned tickle grass heads. and blow ' about literally fill the shrubs and mesquite plants.

sons. This section of land lies at
 an altitude of about 5000 feet. and
 ordinarily enjoys a good summer rain
 fall that is s to r. inches or more
 occasionally. WiEiin this pasture
 the grass grows as heavily each year
 as the amount of rainfall permits,
 and there is always an abundance of
 seed matured each year On the
 range outside this enclosed area the growth of grass is certainly not more than one-half as heavy as within the fence. nevertheless the Empire Land and Cattle company cannot fence this because it is public land. They must continue to graZe it as closely as pos sible with very small returns. and with no hopes of better yields.
 I might also mention to you the San Rafael land grant located ir the extreme southern part of the territory nearby the Huachuca mountains. As a whole this has been fenced but nine years. The same grasses grow here as in the encolsed pasture of the Empire Land and Cattle company. Now. 15 acres of land is allowed Jo each grazing animal. and this does not count sucking calves. while on the same range outside of the fence at
 least 90 acres are required. The rain fall is the same in both instances. Both are equally good land Less than Dne-half as many plants grow on the land under open range conditions as Dn the land under fence. and hence ! the greater yield Besides this. the 1 plants are larger inside the fence ] Give the plants a chance to doIfble in | number and you will have twice as |

Why. bless you. can stand at my third-story laboratory window and look g. miles 10 the south and see the outlines of this grazing tract from the heavy growth of grass on the ground. There is no guess work about this. Here is a practical dem onstration under our eyes. This land will carry more than double the num- Der of stock than the same land on Ete open range, and it will not depre- ciate in its yield from season to sea son.
 Now, let us see what grasses are growing here. and what other plants There are very few shrubs. at best only scattered ones. and these mostly along dry draws which run occasion ally with storm water. There is very little annual growth. Annual grasses can't endure in the presence of a heavy stand Of perennial grasses, be- cause the latter are the more persis- tent. Only when the perennial grasses are killed out at these attitudes do

much food provided there is enough moisture in the ground to support the growth. and this is the principle on which range protection is based.
 You see in every instance I have mentioned, the perennial grass lands have increased their stock carrying capacity after they were fenced. or Nvhen the number of grazing animals on them were restricted You will agree with me. therefore. that it is a. sensible and profitable thing to fence the ranges that are continually subject to overgrazing. Gentlemen I thank you for your attention. and trust that we may be able to discuss this question at a later date.
