 Until we fence this class of grazing land we have no need to expect it to improve. and. in fact. it will only continue to grow worse Of course it improves for time during favor able seasons. which is all the more reason for fencing it so as to make it continue to improve. but it drops back again as soon as. over grazing sets in. which always happens on the open range With an increase of grass there is an increase of stock. 1 I don't blame you stockmen for this. , I would do the same thing myself on the open range.
