Ever Before.


RADIO Government Land Than
Ever Before.
Denver.-Almost 100000 more head
Of cattle were raised on the forest
ranges of the government in Colorado
during the last season than in 1915,
according to figures submitted by the
Denver branch of the bureau. The
season has been unusual, according to
the grazing department of the bureau,
but the cattle furnished to the market
from the forest ranges have bean
shipped direct to the killer and have
not required feed lot finishing.
Permits have been issued during
to Craze on the forest reserves. Nine
hundred and two thousand, one hun.
dred and forty-six sheep had permits,
and 979 goats. The increase during
the grazing season probably brought
the number up to more than 100000
sheep turned over to owners at the
Put Ban on Eastern Cattle and hogs.
Cattle were second to sheep, per.
mits being approved for 317.S01 head
of cattle. and 1O.1S9 head of horses.
Many of the range horses were
broken at once and put into the mar.
ket for service in the European war.
This is the first year in the history
of the forest records that Colorado
forests were stocked to their full ca.
pacity and officials say that permits
were refused for approximately $4,000
cattle and 215,O0O sheep. The figures
mean two things to the forestry Off
cials-that Colorado stock raisers are
coming to realize the full worth o.
the forest ranges and that this real
ization is going to put Colorado in
more important place in the stock
raising industry.
