SHEEP GIVE WAY TO CATTLE.
Increase Of Latter is Due to High
Prices.

Washington, April SO.-Receipts
from grazing permits on the National
forests for the season of 1915 will con-
tribute to the public revenues ap-
proximately 100000. or about
100000 more than last year, accord
ing TO an estimate made from the al

rotary of agriculture. The forests
this year will furnish forage for
1,983,715 cattle and horses, S,747,025
sheep and goats, and 64.04O swine. the
figures indicating a material increase
of meat production on the government
regulated ranges.
The increase OF 1866 cattle and
horses over the allowances for 1914
is accompanied by q decrease of 12o.-
SS1 sheep and goats. showing that in
many parts of the West sheep are Civ
ing way to cattle. 1t is tn ought that
the recent high price of beef has been
encoura ging many farmers and form
er sheepman to 30 into the cattle
business, though il will be the first
time jim the last five years that the al
lowanco of sheep has not increased
over that of the previous season.
There are localities, however, where
the demand for sheep range is far IN
excess of the supply.
The grazing charges are slightly
higher this year. In the west the
rates have been fixed at forty-eight to
ninety cents per head per year TO"
cattl and horses. and twelve to eight
cen cents for sheep and goats; in the
east the rates arc from cighty-five
cents to $50 for cattle. s110 to $500
