Head of National Cattle Asso-
citation Says Measure Will
Reduce Living Cost.

Dwight B. Heard, of Phoenix. Ariz.
( first vice president Of the American Ma
I ticnal Life Stock Association, for year.
an active supporter of conservation
| measures. in supporting The p:inc.pl,
of Federal control of the public grazing
lands. as embodied in the Kent bill. be-
fore the House Committee on Public
Lands. today made the following state
ment:
That this measure is of national i'm.
portance becomes evident when We real
lie that these public lands are abou,
$50 900 acres. or nearly one-fifth of the
total area Of the United States. and
that there are now grazing on these
lards about IL 900. 900 head of cattle and
IS. 0OO. coo head Of sheep.
1t becomes evident at once that, II
: by some intelligent method of regpla-
ton. this vast area of grazing land
can be made to produce more meat, the
vital problem of the high cost of living
has been materially and favorably
affected. Those of us who have been
working for a system of Federal con-
troll of these lands for the past ten
Years believe there is no conservation
more important than this one.
Points To Forest Ranges.
Cnder the administration Of the for
est service. the forest ranges have been
built UP. their carrying capacity mate
rally increased, cooperation among the
users of the forest ranges substituted
for the old-time friction and blood
shed. while home-mahing has increased
We believe q similar policy of Federal
control. as outlined in the Kent BILL
will bring about equally favorable Con-
ditions on the adjoining public grazing
lands.
Under the present condition Of un-
restricted use, no occupant of the range
is assured of the permanency of his in
dustry. The range is bvercrowded, and
the occupants have no inducement to
improve its carrying capacity The
range grasses by overgrazing are being
destroyed.
Under the protection and regulation
proposed, permanent conditions encour-
aging development will be created; ferc-
ing will be encouraged. which will en-
able the protection and consequent i'm
proVement of the grasses; the develop
ment OF water supply. which vitality
Affects the carrying capacity of any
range, will be brought about, and better
breeding will be encouraged.
Stockmen Favor Bill.
"A careful reading Of the bill will
/ believe. convince any fair man that it
aims to give q strictly square deal to
big and little stockmen alike. and Is
certainly very much more in favor of
the little man than the present method
Of uncontrolled use, where the man
with the long pocketbook has all the
advantage. While it Is probably true
that some of the big stockmen in this
country are insisting on n 1et-alone
policy. I believe 1t Is equally true that
the majority Of the stockmen. big and
little. using the public grazing LANDS
