1919 MINE OUTPUT
HALF THAT OF 1918

The value of the gold. silver, cop
per. lead, and zinc mined in Nevada
in 1919 was about s23,634,c00. accord
ing to preliminary figures compiled
by the United States geological sur
vey. This is decrease of over s24.-
S94.124, or more than fifty per cent.
from the output of 1918. when the
mines produced s4S,52S,124. The de-
crease was general. but in point of
value the largest decrease was that in
copper. which amounted to more than
S19.114.000.
Incomplete dividends, declared by
Nevada mining companies for the
first eleven months of 1919 amounted
to $3.327. 1888. The principal contribu-
tors were the Nevada Consolidated
Tonopah Extension. Tonopah Belmont

VEGETATION IS BEST
|. BARRIER TO EROSION

The following article. captioned
Control and Prevention of Erosion
on Forest Ranges" is sent out by the
Ogden Office of the forest service:
At least eighty-five per cent and
probably considerable more of the
water used for irrigating the 100000
acres of western lands has it's origin
in the mountains of the national
forests. The intimate relation that
exists between the national forests
and a sustained streamfiow for irriga-
ton is therefore readily appreciated.
In any mountainous region where
the slopes are steep and the precipi-
tation heavy floods are liable to occur.
Frequent serious floods and erosion,
however, are invariably associated
with steep, poorly vegetated or de-
nuded water sheds. A well vegetated
area. with its abundance of leaves
and branches prevents the rain from
beating directly upon the soil, firmly
binds the surface soil layer by the
mass of ramifying plant roots, and
hence tends greatly to minimize
erosion.
In 1914 two comparable areas, each
embracing ten acres, were located at
an elevation of 10000 feet on the
Manti Forest, Utah, for the purpose
of determining the effect of varying
intensities of grazing on erosion and
streamfiow 1t is hard to believe that
as much as a carload, or approx
mately $4,000 pounds of air dry dirt
and rock, is sometimes deposited from
a ten-acre area from single storm.
Nevertheless, water and sediment Of
from 10000 to $4,000 pounds have
been deposited several times from a
single storm between 1914 and 1918.
What is the effct on forage pro-
luction when the upper few inches OF
black mealy soil is carried off? The
experiment showed, among other
things, that wheat plants grown in
poor or eroded soil produced five and
one-half pounds of air dry material
rs compared with twelve pounds on
non-eroded or good soil of the same
general type. II is also significant
iUAt i1oIt HdiCt was AtduiASN SN "
produce the five and one-half pounds
of growth on the poor soil than the
twelve pounds of air dry matter on
the good soil.
The effect of serious floods and
erosion may be summed up as fol-
lows: % The water holding ca
pacity of the soil is greatly decreased,
and hence crop production is much
lower; (2) the plants that eroded
lands will support are inferior for
grazing. poison plants being common;
90 il is not possible to make kood
use of water for irrigation when it
gushes down in torrents; (4) the cost
of maintaining the irrigation canals
is very high, and 90 the destruction
of personal and public property is
often serious.
One of the first steps to prevent
serious erosion is to revegetate and
then maintain the forest lands to the
greatest possible extent. This can
best be accomplished by applying the
deferred and rotation grazing system.
Department OF Agriculture Bulletin
No. CTS discusses the findings at the
Great Basin experiment station of the
effect of erosion on forage production.
