HEAVY GRAZING REDUCES
GROUND WATER SEEPAGE

MISSOULA.-Heavy grazing of range
lands, besides weakening forage plants
by too close cropping is indirectly re-
sponsible for the small proportion of
moisture which soaks into the ground
around plant roots, it is reported by
Lincoln Ellison OF the Northern Rocky
Mountain Forest and Range Expert
ment Station.
Growth of grass and passing of mois-
ture of fall rains into the soil ON small
area ungrazed for two years and ON
nearby land, which had been heavily
grazed by cattle, were compared in in
vestigations at the experimental range
near Miles City, Mont. in cooperation
with the Federal Bureau of Animal IN
dustry and the Montana Agricultural
Experiment station The soil on both
areas was a heavy clay, known locally
as "gumbo.'
The comparison was made on fall
grass growth which sprang up after the
cattle were taken off the pasture. The
fall growth of grass on the ungrazed
plot was twice as great as on the heav-
lily grazed land
Measurements of how moisture had
soaked into the ground showed that on
heavily grazed plots most of the mois-
ture had stopped at depth of two
inches. On the ungrazed plot, it had
gone down as deep as six inches. This
is an important difference to plant life
because the bulk of the roots of range
grass plants is more than two inches
below the surface.
Trampling of the top soil by cattle on
the heavily grazed land packed the soil
down hard, forming sort of roof at the
surface of the ground, diverting most
OF the rain and water from melting
SHOWS into the gullies and to the
streams. On the ungrazed land, how
ever, the top soil had not been packed;
accordingly, large share of the water
was able to seep into the ground to ir-
rigate the plant roots.
Water in the ground is vital not only
to forage and livestock, but to human
fife as we'll The results Of these OBJ
servations do not argue for the ex-
clusion Of livestock from the range, but
rather they point to the wisdom of
stocking only by such numbers and
during such periods Of the year as viii
not destroy Natures balance between
soil conditions and plant life, nor make
il impossible for the ground TO soak up
water to replenish the underground
water supply.

that she knew she did not love him?
She was thankful that the excite
ment of the races filled their days,
left them practically no time alone
together. Until the races we're over
until he had ruined Duke, he must
have no slightest suspicion of her
change Of heart.
There were other things, too. She
had lost her knack for picking win
ners. Night after night, she pored
over her papers, working on per-
| centages as she had never done be-
fore. And day after day, she lost
at the tracks. Madison, who fol-
lowed her tips, was even heavier
loser. And Madison, she discovered -
her surprise, was not good loser.
On the last day before the Hope
full Stakes would be run, she was so
tense that she was alarmed lest Duke
would notice it. Her grandfather and
| Hartley, who were with her, didn't
| matter, but she must not let Duke
know she had lost her poise.
You're nut" her grandfather
| told her when he learned she had
selected Pit-A-Pat. Extensions the
horse"
She did not answer except with
little smile, She had picked winners.
She would pick them again. But she
was thinking that she might just as
well have been blind-folded and stuck
pin on the racing list, to indicate
her choice, during these last races
when she had wanted so desperately
to win,

same. Go on now and drink"
The youngster seemed to have
never-to- be ended thirst, but at length
he said he had had enough and was
sputtering his thanks as Duke set him
firmly on the ground.
Want to sell that cup sonny?"
The boy stared at what Duke was
holding out 70 him as the purchase
price. He put out his hand, then
drew It back.
II couldn't let you pay IS for It,"
he said. III give 1t to you"
Duke laughed and put the bill in
his hand, closing 1t tight over it.
Never quarrel with your luck,
sonny" said Duke. This cup is worth
4 lot more than fver to me-"
Duke walked briskly, until he came
alongside Carol. He tapped her lightly
on the shoulder. AS she turned to
see who it was, he thrust the cup
in her hands.
Better give this to the gentleman. &"
he said with twinkle in his eye. Il

asked Duke.

with a scornful look at his grand
daughter. Them society dummies"
Carol took Madison's arm, urging
him to hurry. She must be hon. she
said, before her guests arrived. He
turned for a last word with Duke.
III send you my check for today's
losses"
"Oh, don't bother" Duke waved the
of1er aside graciously. You're good
for 1t with me. And for anything
else you may lose. Well let it ride
on Moon Ray tomorrow.
Come on, Hartley" said Carol
sharply.

Carol, wide grin on his face.
She did not answer him with word
or look. The snub did not bother
Duke. Had he seen the flash in her
eye, the tilt of her chin, the squar-
ing of her shoulders. He had heard
the evaporation in her voice. He
knew she was furiously angry with
him. But he liked her that way.
1t accepted her beauty. He was say
ing to himself, as she walked away:
What proud little filly she is-a
true daughter OF the turf, spirited,
high-strung, housekeeping. And now
she's off to play at being a society
woman, the crazy, headstrong little
fool"
AS il she knew his thoughts, Carl

tossing him a quick, coldly scornful
look. Duke chuckled. Then he
noticed little boy near him and an
amusing idea came to him. The boy
held collapsible drinking cup-and
it was OF tin. He was SO short he
could not reach. with all struggling,

Thanks, mister" said the boy, as

needed to repay Duke in fun.
She is nolD free to marry Hartley
but she realizes she has fallen

Neither is Hartley. He's getting wise

to bring his mom in first. And such
a horse as Lightning! Are you crazy?"

I bred and raised that horse and I
know"
Hartley may have tried to Hold back
his anger, but it broke through in
what he said to Carol.
I've lost almost $4,000 to Duke on
your handicapping. I wouldn't mind
getting 1t back before the season
closes. Something tells me it is time
to use my own judgment from now
on"
Carol s, rugged her shoulders. She
could not trust herself to answer
him. This was bad enough. She
could not risk bringing on scene.
Il don't blame you, Madison" said
Duke. "One good stable bet could
put you right out in the clear"
Are you coming, Hartley?" asked
Carol. I'm going"
Coming, dear"

Per ad, classified advertising costs less
than any other and yet classified advertising
does produce remarkable results. From ads
costing only few pennies, automobiles,
homes and valuable jewelry are sold every
day; articles Of great sentimental and none
tary value that have been lost are returned
to rightful owners; positions for men and
women are located; people wanting work,
find it and people needing help in their homes
or business, find it. If the truth were known,
no doubt what goes on BEHIND the lines of
