We took the first train out for Ha-
Vana. and when we got there we found
that the people knew very little about
the revolution or its extent in the east

OVER MILLION HEAD
OF STOCK GRAZED ON
NATIONAL FORESTS

District Forester, Geo. H. Cecil,
Portland, Oregon, announces that the
National Forests of Oregon and
Washington are furnishing grazing
during the present summer for IT,
1877 head of cattle and horses belong
ing to 3,269 ranchers, and 1,025,S43
head of sheep, owned by 705 sheep
men. These figures show an increase
of 462 cattlmen, with 19,47S head of
cattle, and 4S sheepmen with 29,102
head of sheep above the numbers TAX
en- care of in 1916. This increase is
due to the introduction of better
methods of handling the stock; the
blanket or open method Of grazing
sheep as advocated by the Forest Ser
vice and the management of cattle
under special rules established by the
District Forester and based on the
needs of the range.
In addition to these figures 359
owners were given free permits to
cross 6,535 head of cattle and horses
and 551,895 head of sheep over the
National Forest range. to shipping
points, and for other purposes. Free
permits were also given to 215 own
ers on account of private lands within
the National Forest boundaries for
1875 head of cattle and horses and
107,4SS head of sheep; 41,647 ewes
were also lambed on National Forest
range.
The District Forester finds there is
serious shortage in the regular hay
crop throughout the district. He
hopes however that the amount of
inferior grain crops cut for hay will
: offset this. He has planned to have
all farmers who have surplus hay on
hand communicate with his office at
Portland and strong effort will be
made to get the information to stock
men who need the hay.
