WAR
ON LOBO WOLVES

The large gray, or lobO wolves
have been so reduced in the stock
raising regions of the West by the
unrem1tting activities Of the biOlOg-
ical survey of the United States de-
partment Of agriculture against them
that their depredstions are almost
ended.
Whenever the presence Of scattered
Individual wolves is reported by
stockmen, the best available hunters
of the district are sent to trap or
poison the animals. In New Mexico
only eight wolves were taken during
the past year, as against 81 the pre-
ceding year, although increased eff
forts were made to get the last vol
in the state. Arizona reports thai
18 wolves were taken during the veal
and that no wolves are now known
to be within its borders. It is neces
sary to maintain a constant patro
along the New Mexico and Arizon'
boundary to prevent invasions o
timber wolves and mountain lion
from Mexico.
For the first year in the histOr,
of the work not a single lobo wei
was taken in Colorado, and less tina,
half a dozen are known to rang
within the state. The catch in Nor
tana was %; in Oregon, 1; Sout
Dakota, 6; Utah, 8; and in Wyomins

FOREST SERVICE
UPHOLDSP PRESENT
GRAZING METHODS

MISSOULA. - Although favoring
legal recognition Of the grazing of
livestock as a subordinate use Of the
National forests to be harmonized
with their major purposes of timber
growing and watershed protection,
Col, w. B. Greeley, chief of the For
est service. in his annual report 20
the secretary of agriculture warns
against radical departures from the
policies and practices established by
over 20 years of forest land admin
istratiOn.
The extreme measures advocated
by western stockmen for legal recOg-
milton of grazing rights to be perma-
nently vested in the present occupants
of the range, it is held by the chief
forester, would bring to an end eff
fective control of grazing by the For
est service, and would make impos-
sible adequate protection of other
forest resources and public interests
in the properties.
The Forest service has always held
it contrary to public policy and to
Justice to permit individual grazing
rights to become vested in the Ma
tional forests" declares Mr. Greeley.
at is convinced that the adequate
protection of forest growth, water
shed cover, wild life, and the produc-
tivity of the ranges thmselves require
the continuation of grazing only as
a privilege of use, made as stable as
other considerations warrant but
still subject to curtailment or adjust
ment from time to time. The same
policy is believed necessary in order
0 permit the most equitable distribu-
ton of grazing privileges on the Ma
tional forests as the future needs of
western agricultural and livestock
communities may determine"
Although there has been no enact
ment of legislation concerning graz
ing the past year, Mr.. Greeley points
out that by regulation Of the secretary
of agriculture provision was made fol
local grazing boards of review made
up of stockmen elected by the permit
tees and one Forest service official
This provision is made in response tt
the request of stockmen for a change
in the appeals procedure in cases o.
disagreement between grazing per
mittees and forest officials. III il
indicated, however, that many of thu
advisory boards of the livestock as
~sOciations refused to call the elections
stating that the present procedure TO
appealing from decisions of local for
est officers was satisfactory.
Mr.. Greeley also points out that ap
proximately so per cent of grazini
permits outstanding are for the 10
year period, thus indicating that muc
progress had already been made to
ward meeting the request of tn
stockmen for greater stability o
range tenure.

Great Falls has been selected by the
Lewis and Clark Memorial commits
sion as first choice as site for the

patches from the Capital city. Three

secure proposals for a site for the
erection and designs for the proposed
monument and make recommends
tiOns to the 1927 assembly.
Armstead, Butte, Bozeman, Great
Falls, Helena, Livingston and Three
Forks all were active applicants for
the honor. The commission heard ar
guments on several occasions from
representatives of several cities, in
spected designs, considered estimates
and was promised suitable sites II
practically all the candidate cities.
Aside from the claims OF Great
Falls and Three Forks, the commits
siOn's report great interest in the

WAR EXPLOSIVE
USED ON FARMS

The addition of 1926 acres to the
productive areas of existing farm
units and the increase of land values
by more than S35O,OOO, are some of
the results accomplished in Flathead,
Sanders and Lincoln counties in the
cooperative land clearing work di-
rected by the Montana Extension
service since 1921. This work was
made possible by the use Of pyrOtol,
a high explosive, manufactured by
the government from salvaged war
materials and furnished to farmers
at cost. Nearly a half million pounds
of this material has been used.
Last year 367 farmers in the three
western counties used pyrOtOl to clear
their lands of stumps, thus bringing
their cultivated land areas more close
" to the size necessary for best re-
suits. Powder costs ranged from
$4.75 to $3.50 per farm and the in.
creased land value resulting from
this expenditure ranged from $25 Il
$1,150 per farm.
The land clearing work with pyrotO
started in 1921, was suspended Il
1922 and 1923 and was taken VI
again in 1924, 1925 and 1926. TIL
first year but one carload of govern
ment explosive was used and that i
Flathead county. Since then tn
three counties have used Is carload
of the material. During the fOu
years, 10 demonstrations shown

for blowing cut stumps have bee
conducted by the Extension service
