Government Studies Goat
Grazing on National Forests

Portland, Or, July l5.-In connection
with the effort to introduce best meth
ods of handling all classes of livestock
on the National Forests, study of the
goat industry has been inaugurated by
forest service officials In 1915 over
tIty thousand angora goats were grazed
on national forests in six states, mostly
in the southwest.
The goats are grazed in bands of 600
to 1000, although the smaller herds are
more common and feed mostly on
brush underground. Sheds are neces-
sary during the kidding season, since
the newly born kids are almost as help
less as babes and must be protected
from the cold and wet When the goats
have considerably more agility and
fight off COYOTES and other predatory
animals. Unlike sheep, which can go
long periods without water, the goats
must have water frequently and their
range has to be planned with this in
mind. Under the new methods which
are being tried, herders must take more
care of their flocks. The goats are not
allowed to spend more than one night
at any camp and are handled in such a
way that all the range is used but not
overgrazed. Officials who are watch
ing the experiments say that the APP
proved methods will doubtless enable
the owners to derive greater profits
from their herds and make it possible
to better the condition of the range.
Many people think that the foresters
are opposed to letting goats range on
the national forests, but officials say
tnat this is not true. In some places
particularly in hardwood regions, goats
damage young forestgrowth. In many
of the coniferous forests of the west,
however, this damage is slight if the
range is not overstocked and the ami
mails are properly handled. Often, it
is said, they are of real benefit in keep
ing down inflammable brush and thus
aiding in protecting forests from fire.
In the national forests of Oregon and
Washington, on the west slope of the
Cascades, it is said that there are many
afeas of open brush land suitable FOR
grazing goats. Such areas may be
found on the Sinslaw, Siskiyou, Crater,
Umpqua and Santiam forests in Ore
gon and on the Columbia, Rainier and
Olympic forests in Washington. These
areas would take care of from 10000 to
25,OOO head of goats and are easily ac.
cessible from railroad points.
The outlook for the goat industry ap.
pears at present to be very bright.
While the clip from angora goats has
amounted to 100000 pounds per year in
the northwest, the Willamette valley
in Oregon being the center Of the in.
dustry in this region, the value of
goats for meat is now becoming an i'm
portant factor in the industry. Former
ly there was much prejudice against
goat meat, and although much of it
was marketed as mutton it brought the
stockmen but $3.50 head. The latest
quotations, however, show $3.50 a head.
In southern Oregon stockman was
heard to remark recently that he could
easily get $3.50 a head for all the goats
he could drive TO market. Mohair pri-
ces, too, have gone up from five TO ten
cents per pound during the past year.

Copenhagen, November 11tb.-Member
of the Foiketing Moltensen said he had never
supported Mr.. jackson morally or econo-
mically. He believed that if the strike Ind
not ended in a revolution, it was due TO tail
or Grove, who be regarded as possessing the
wisdom which Mr.. Jackson lacks.
Minister Braudes said the question of the
sale was raised by the United States and he
had nc knowledge that the Minister at Wash
ington had been il huenced from Denmark to
seek to have it raised i'll America, Former
Governor Helweg-Larsen during his xamina
tion had said that the Ministry in admins
teripg the West Indies, had neglected impor-
tant and vital national interests, but Minis
ter Brandes considered that The late Cover
nor was not the right man to criticize, and
perhaps was unsuitable for his post. The
late governors ideal was a governor with
dictatorial authority, but he himself had not
an inch of the dictator in him. 1t was i'm
possible for the administration to always give
directions. The governor ought to act with con-
duct and management. Minister Brandes had
expected hat he sale would soon be effect
ed, therefore he had suspended the reforms
since the beginning of the negotiations. He
considered that former Governor Helweg-
Larsen ought to have negotiated with Mr..
jackson about ending the strike, although
the latter had insulted him.
Minister Scavenius defended the minister
against the suspicion that he had been infu-
enced from home to seek the sale which he
snid had been raised by the United States.
All the diplomatic negotiations were to be
discreet, but as probably there was some
sign Of indiscretion in America in 1915, he
had wired the minister that it was a condi-
ton of the negotiations that there must be
no indiscretion. Facilities in American duty
for the islands after their alienation should
be adopted by Congress. therefore they
could not be mentioned in the treaty.
