SECRETARY WILSON RECOGNIZES
INTERESTS OF STOCK
MEN.
FAvORs GOOD ROADS
BUREAU WILL COOPERATE IN
BUILDING SAMPLE GOOD
ROADS.

Washlngton.-The secretary of agri-
culture has approved revised form
of the grazing regulations which gov
ern use of the national forest ranges.
In the opinion of the department Of
flee, the most important departures
from the old regulations are found.
first In the fact that provision Is
made for recognition of permanent
national advisory board representing
the sheep and cattle interests. which
will confer annually with the secre-
tary Of agriculture concerning graz
ing matters.
Secondly in the laying down of a
rule that on forests where the quail
ity of range and advantages for rails
ing cattle and sheep are equal. the
yearlng rate for sheep after the
season OF 1911 will be 80 per cent of
the yearling rate for cattle.
Before deciding on the grazing regu-
Iations, Secretary Wilson invited rep
resentatives of the two great national
organizations of stockmen, the Ma
tional Wool Growers Association and
the American National Live Stock AS
him ON grazing matters and to make
any suggestions which they might
wish to offer concerning the proposed
regulations.
AS result of this conference with
the representatives of the stockmen's
associations. number of changes
were made in the details concerning
the conditions under which owners
may surrender, transfer or renew ap-
piication for grazing privileges. Both
the department and the stockmen are
anxious to prevent speculation in graz
ing privileges, and suggestions for
fered by the stockmen to> this end
were sadily accepted.
At the request of Senator Warren,
the secretary of agriculture has d.
rected the bureau of public roads of
his department to cooperate with the
Good Roads Club of Douglas, Wyo., in
the proposed construction of an OBJ
1ect lesson road in the vicinity OF
Douglas.
The bureau of public roads is work
ing with good road clubs through the
country TO better the general condi-
ton OF public roads by cooperating
with local organizations in sample
good roads construction. 1t is ex-
pected during the coming season that
a mile of sample road will be con-
structed In the vicinity of Sheridan.
Wyo, and like distance near Doug
las.
Senator Warren has requested the
secretary of agriculture to rescind
recent order issued by the forest SER
vice cutting down the number of sheep
from 225,000. the number allowed for
1910, to 212.50O for the coming graz
ing season in the Hayden and Routt
forest reserves. Colorado and Wyo-
ming. He also requested that the
grazing charge be modified so that the
rate will not exceed five cents per
head for the grazing season.
II is represented that the grazing
area of these two reserves is not fully
utilized and that large areas of good
grazing go to waste annually because
the forest service will not admit a
sufficient number OF sheep N the re-
serves to fully utilize the pasturage.
