Oppose Federal Control.

Range restriction Is gradually drlT-
Ing the flockmaster out OF business.
We believe the placing OF winter
ranges under federal control VIII be
detrimental 10 our industry. We re-
gard the attempt to close the tran
to our feed grounds as unjust and
unnecessary.
We recommend the selection or
practical men !or the administrat ton
of the national forests.
We commend the forestry depart
ment for the work being done In ex-
terminating predatory wild animals
nd the constructing OF roads. trails,
bridges and telephone lIneg upon the
national forests and earnestly pledge
our continued assistance in support
Of such policy.
While we indorse the policy OF the
forest service In general. we protest
against including within the forest
reserves areas suita bic only for graz
ing purposes and insist that the graz
Ing OF sheep on the reserves is not
only a protection TO the forest
against fire. but also tends TO In
crease the stream flow during the ir-
rigating season. We also protest
against arbitrary rules and regula-
tions which tend 10 make the busi-

Leasing Plan Discussed.

The threatened federal control of the
winter range was the subject of OK
tended debate at yesterdays sessions
of the Utah association IS convention.
Many prominent shccpmen voiced their
objections. declaring that federal con-
troll would surely mean favorltism, and
would be altogether impracticable if
that control followed the lines Of the
forest reserves policy, a policy which,
according to the woolgrowers, is still
far from satisfactory, although much
better than it was at the beginning.
The association, foreseeinc the time
when the government will allot grazing
privileges, has laid its first plans TO
procure regulations as favorable to the
sheep industry as possible. 1t is the
general belief that the leasing system
will not be adopted for two or three
years, and in the meantime every effort
will be made to place the facts before
the oficials-in brief, to conduct a
campaign of education" at Washing.
