he was angry too, and his voice

an even broader target. They are

Free State Forestry
Call G.. IIcczko

1t is a common practice among
farmers to fence in their woodland
property and cleared pasture land to-
gether and to turn their livestock in
to Craze on both. This practice is
very detrimental to future forest
growth.
First, the cattle will browse ON the
small seedlings and ON the lower
branches of the larger trees. Many
farmers claim that this is good for
the forest, as weeds and brush are
eliminated, giving the forest a clean
open appearance. However, if all the
young seedlings are destroyed year
after year, in time only large trees
will be found ON the area. When these
are removed in future logging opcr-
alton, there will be no young material
left on the area. The farmer should
see to it that he has a good distri-
button of trees Of all diameter sizes
in his woodland for future growth.
Cattle browsing on the branches Of
larger trees breaks these branches
off, causing wounds in the trees that
are source Of infection Of tree dis
ease and decay
Secondly, cattle causes damage to
the tree roots in uamping on them.
The bark is rubbed off the surface
roots, making another place for dis
ease to enter.
Thirdly, cattle packs the forest soil
and duff, reducing the accration Of
the soil. Forest growth is best on Il
loose, well aeratcd soil. The packed
oil will not absorb as much rainfall
as loose forest soil will. More water
will run off rapidly because Of this
and cause soil erosion Of the forest
floor. The rich top soil and duff are
washed into the streams and only
the non-fertile mineral soil remains.
The Forest Service Of the I. S. De
partment of Agriculture has proved
through experiments that what little
food value cattle get out Of browsing
on forest growth is used up in the
extra walking around that the cattle
do to find these scattered food par
