Helping Increase Meat Supply

As war emergency measure the
National Forest ranges are carrying
this summer approximately 100000
more cattle and 100000 more sheep
than IN ordinary years, according to
the grazing experts OF the Forest
Service. Ordinarily the National
Forests furnish pasturage for about
100000 cattle and horses and T.
100000 head OF sheep.
The number of livestock permitted
on the Forests is limited in order to
prevent damage to timber growth
water supplies and the range itself.
This year exceptional weather con-
ditions combined with the general
food situation to create an unusual
emergency, calling for special provi-
sions TO take care of the stock A
severe winter and late spring ex-
hausted the hap supply and forced
use of the spring ranges before they
had reached their normal state. To
lessen the losses which the western
livestock industry faced. the Nation
al Forest ranges were opened early.
AT the same time. the number OF
stock permitted for the present sea
son was raised to the maximum con-
sisent with safeguarding future pro-
ductiveness
1t is fully recognized that the in
creases which have been made In the
allowances of stock on the National
Forests involve danger that the range
will be depleted through over-graz-
Ing. but II is believed by the grazing
experts of the Government that the
emergency increases made can be
taken care of, at least this year.
without material sacrifice of product
I've capacity The condition of the
ranges Is. however, being carefully
watched. Reliance is placed also on
the special efforts being made TO Sc
cure the most intensive utilization
consistent with sustained pruductive-
ness. by improved methods of handl-
ing the stock. Better sailing meth
cds and the development OF new
watering places are among the means
employed for this purpose
At the close OF the grazing season
4 careful examination will he made
OF the range on each Forest TO de
termine its condition and TO lind out
how many cattle or sheep it VIII sup
port next season. On areas which
are found TO be over-grazed an at
tempt will be made to shift The sur
plus stock TO range which can stand
he strain better
While he grazing otrcitls do not
think that the increase could be car
rled indefinitely without serious dam
age to the forage. regulatedg razing
has brought about steady improve
ment of the range and some areas
will probably be able to support the
larger numbers permanently.

The railroads are apparently win

face.
Don't know-mystery. Mrs. Llsle

they found themselves homeless.
Beardsley started briskly away from
