There Is No Salt
In Park Salt Licks
It's Phosphorus

While cake to a barnyard cow
may be salt, cake to a Glacier
national park mountain goat or
elk is apparently phosphorus.
In short, salt ticks in Glacier
national park are not salt ticks
at all. A series of just completed
tests at the federal soil labor
atory at Beltsville, Maryland show
that clay from six of the park s
most frequented salt ticks are
near saltless, but have a high
PHOSPHORUS content.
These six ticks include the one
at Walton just off U. S. highway
No. 2 where automobile passen-
gers often see mountain goat, elk
and deer eating mud, not for salt
but for phosphorus.
Why the animals want the phos-
phorus is not known It's con-
sidered something unusual.

Fires Number D

Fourth largest national forest
in the United States, the Flathead

mer and fall. Eleven were man
caused and II started by lightnins
with "a acres of timber and grass
destroyed.
Supervisor F. ]. Neitzling of the
2,622,737 acre forest just west of
the continental divide compliment
ed visitors and residents of the
area for helping keep the fire fig
ure low. He added that the wet
summer did have a tendency to
cause men to think that fires
wouldn't start or spread.
Of the IL man-caused fires,
four were started from neglected
campfires and six by smokers. One
resulted from a debris burning
fire getting out of control.
Best year for the forest was 1912
when 81 fires burned ust five
acres. Of these 21 fires 16 were
and five man started.
Worst year was 1929, year of the

Snow Helps; Elk Hunting Continues Fair

AS the regular hunting season
nears its next Monday shutdown
end, reports today indicate an in
crease in elk kill up the Flathead
rivers middle and south forks.
Snow that now measures inch
es at Spotted Bear and inches at
Schaefer earlier in the week
brought game down from higher
elevations. However Jack and Jim
Hutchens, state fish and game men
at Hungry Horse checking station,
added that game is now going back
up.
While the open season ends on
the Flatheads south fork and
headwaters of the middle fork
Monday, it continues open on both
sexes on that part of the middle
fork just south of Glacier national
park. The extended season ends
December 81.
The Flathead's north fork, not
open to elk, but to deer, reports
few kills; however deer hunters
on nearby mountains are reporting
better results.
Count of elk kill obtained by
state fish and game department
and Flathead national forest ran
gers by Friday 9 a. m. stands at
Coram district ~ elk killed as
compared to total up to last week
of so; Spotted Bear now 241 up
from PIG; Schaefer 108 up from
sc. The Big Prairie kill is now
about 200 while hunters have
brought out nearly 100 elk from
the upper and lower Swan.
The 1948 hunting season is shap-
ing up as a year with 300 elk kill
ed. This compares with last years
600, and 1885 in 1916.

New Weed Offers
Threat to Park

Threat to Glacier national park S
estimated $500 elk and 1000 deer
is the spread of goat weed or
st. Johnswort first noticed in park
grasslands in 1947.
This weed, not native to the al
pine vacationland, can destroy up
to 80 per cent of a pasture. Ran
gers consider goatweed much as
they do blister rust spores Whlch
has come into the park and de
strovs pine trees. There is an &C
tive blister rust control program.
Goat weed has not yet become
common in Glacier. 1t is expected
that the park will work with f'aS-
head county in discriminating the
pasture destroyer. Flathead coun-
tv commissioners created a county
weed control district last July rs,
and near the top of the to be de-
stroyed list is goat weed, a new
conner not welcome.
