The decrease in the number Of sheep
is said to be caused by the action Of
owners who are disposinR Of their
lockS in order 10 buy cattle, In most
cases the reason is not because Of
greater profits in handling cattle. but
because the rapidly changing condi-
tons on the open ranges, where sheep
have been handled in the past, make IL
increasingly difficult to find feed for
this class Of stock during the months
when deep snow prohibits grazing on
the National Forests.
II is stated that the capacity Of the
National Forest range is gradually be
ing increased by protection against
over grazing and improved methods of
handling the stock. New areas are al
SO being brought into use by the de
velopment Of watering places, while
the eradication OF poisonous plants is
reducing the losses suffered by the
stockmcn.
