OVERSTOCKED range
GIN Be RENEWED

Washington, July T. The inn
proved condition of the national
forest range after regulated
grazing is pointed to by experts
of the department of agriculture
as a demonstration that areas
which have been severely dam
aged through overstocking by
sheep and cattle can be brought
back to their former carrying
power through a system of
sufficient intelligent use.
When the government took
charge of the livestock ranges
within the national forests some
Of them were so badly over
grazed and otherwise injured
from reckless handling of the
stock that their grazing value
appeared to have been almost
entirely destroyed. Many of
these ranges, however, have
been restored and made as valu-
able as ever. On several of the
forests results have more than
justified the expectations and
the range is in better condition
than it ever was.
An example of this improve
ment is cited in the Nebo
national forest, Utah. In 1908,
when that forest was created,
the ranges within the boundaries
were found to be badly over
grazed and trampled because
there was a lack of any control
or supervision over the areas.
One of the areas was at that
time estimated to be capable
of carrying only 1000 head of
cattle. Now. though conserva-

Company NJ. Eighth United States In
fantry; three members of the Fifty
first Company of scouts and one mem
Der of the Twenty Company Of
scouts. Lieutenant Edwin H. Rack
ley was wounded in the leg.
The casualties are regarded as light
in view of the stubborn resistance
put up by the Moros.
The attacking forces had been made
up unusually strong as precautiOn,
there being. in addition to the com
cavalry, seven companies of scouts,
two companies Of constabulary, with a
battery of four mountain guns and a
