The laboratory men say that I'M

They are. attempting to breed
new grasses which could grow I'M
attended on the range but which
would be- more. productive, more

and more adaptable to the range

They're experimenting with

lis grass developed by crossing
six-foot strain found in the state

from Lapland. 5 r.. .
But they maintain that public
awareness-as well as the micro
scopes of science-must be turned
on the problem.
Ever. since the days of Buffalo
Bill, says DR.. H. A. Spoehr, Car

/ plant biologist who is directing the
research, nothing adequate on a
national scale has been done to
protect the range because of "po-

ness" and lack of vigorous ex-
preston of scientific facts.
The scientists contend that for.
age resources are less than so per
cent of what they were when the
cattlemen first drove the long
horns in.
Here are some figures given by
DR.. Spoehr and his group, who are
working at the plant biology lab

at Stanford university:
As of 1886, some 100000 cat

grazed on ranges which agricultur
