FOREST RESERVES
USED FOR PASTURE
Will Provide Food for Millions of
Sheep and Cattle.

Sheep and cattle will be grazed on
the national forests in increased
numbers this year to meet the war
needs Of the country. according to
officials of the Forest Service.
Half a million more sheep and near
fy a quarter of a million more cattle
will be taken care of than last ycar,
which will bring the total number
of stock grazed under permit. to aoout
100000 sheep. 1850, 600 head of cattle
and 81 900 swine
This increase is on top of an in
crease of 2OO,OOO sheep and 1O0Jo0 cat
tie made last year, when it was rec
ognized that the country's need for
beef, mutton. wool and hides, called
for the fullest possible use of the
forest ranges.
The largest increase among The for
ests were those made in Colorado
and Wyoming, where 81 600 additional
cattle and $1,000 more sheep will be
grazed. California will have 137, 500
more sheep. The provision for more
cattle is widely distributed through
relatively small increases on practi-
cally all of the forests.
The additional sheep to be grazed
in Colorado are owned in small num-
bers by settlers of the immediate vi
cinity. Under present wartime con-
ditions it is no longer necessary to
handle sheep in large bands in order
to make the handling profitable,

It's all in a days work with the
