Wyoming's wool production In
was placed at 24,132,OO

with 25,s04,000 pounds, he said.
The peak in sheep raising was
reached in 1919 when there were
4.338,000 in the state. In the
slump following, the number was
reduced to 2.711,00O in 1922. but
since that time there has been a

Department of Agriculture Working Toward
Sterilization of Grazing on National Forests

THE Department of Agriculture,
according to Secretary w. NJ. Jor-
dine in his address before the Ma
tional Wool Growers association in
Butte. Montana, wishes to afford
as much stability as possible to
grazing in the National forests,
while at the same time carrying
out the other obligations of forest
administration. 1t wants to define
the place of grazing in the National
forests. and to make its future as
definite as other responsibilities will
permit. You all realize that the
old free and easy conditions of
national forest utilization are pas
sing. Individuals and public inter-
ests having a claim on the forests
for use and enjoyment are assert
ing that claim more and more COM
pletely The financial side of Ma
tional forest administration is be-
coming very important. Congress
has appropriated large sums for
forest roads. and expects the prop
erty to return these. investments.
With all these developments and
requirements going forward, the
merit of the forest uses claimed by
varic1s interests necessarily come
under close scrutiny.
Grazing. although not so defined
by law, is N of the recognized
uses of the national forests. 1 be-
heve it is of their most impor-
tant uses. Its place in national for
est utilization should be permanent.
Nevertheless. grazing must be. sub
ordinated to certain other purposes
of the national forests, particularly
the protection of forest growth and
the conservation of water. These
were primary motives in the estab-
lishment of the National forests.
PROVISIONS must also be made for
recreation and for the perpetuation
OF valuable wild life. People have
discovered what the national forests
have to offer as Fairgrounds and
game preserves.
There is insistence that the pub-
nc shall be allowed to enjoy the
WOODS and the mountains, and that
game animals shall be preserved.
Inc use of water our iny the
national forests is increasing. stock
men may not like this invasion of
thelr old ranges, but it is inevitable.
whether the place oil grazing in
the national forests is defined by
legislative action or left to admin.
lstrate action under the board
authority now vested in the Secre-
tary of Agriculture is perhaps a
question Of no great practical i'm
portance. Our grazing system has

HORNSBY BEING GROOMED
TO MANAGE NJ. Y. GIANTS
Many Experts Think John McGraw Has Former Card
Manager in Line for Pilot lob.

many who think that John McGraw
wants him to manage the club when
] he retires.
1t is one of the surest indications
of spring to hear that McGraw is
| starting his last season with the
Giants but it's bound to come be-
cause some season must be his last
and there are reasons TO believe that
he Is getting ready to get out of
active participation in field duties of
! the club.
Twenty-fifth Season
sMcGraw is starting his twenty
fifth season as manager Of the
Giants and there were Indications
last year that he was firing of ham
ding a pennant contender or that he
was cracking under the strain.
From sources close to the club IL
was known that McGraw had Frank
Frisch in mind as possible success
sor but when Frisch missed couple
of signals last year and blew some
games, McGraw is said TO have
mark him off as a possibility. He
not only removed him from the list
of candidates but he traded him
away to the st. Louis Cardinals.
Hornsby is said to be drawing a
salary of $4,000 and while that GER
tainly is not a sum to be sncezed at
he signed with such alacrity that
there were reasons to believe that he
had been given other inducements
to come to terms with his new en-
ployers.
Before McGraw reported to the
Sarasota training camp, Hornsby
assumed his duties as captain with
so much authority that he actually
was in charge of the camp and the
other players played right along with
him.
Some of the critics have said that
the st. Louis Cardinals made Horns.
by successful as a manager and that
he had very little to do with the
management of the club but the re-
suits do not bear out this contention.
If McGraw should win the pennant
this year and Hornsby lives UP to ex-
pectations, it would be no surprise If
the Giant manager retires.
He has a great ambition to cele-
brate his silver jubilee with a pen
nant and after that there would be
very little left for him in the way
of glory. He always has taken pride
in building pennant winners and
most of his success has been
achieved by his skill in tearing down
clubs and rebuilding them.
For years he has been directing
every play and ordering nearly every
ball pitched, and that is some job.
He has good ball club this year
and If he allows Hornsby to share
some of the responsibility of manage
ment, the strain will not be nearly SO
severe on him.
