Directors also should measure
up to the above requirements. But
too many bank directors accept the
position as an honor rather than as

much money the directors Of the

however, as well as the quality Of

Managing Ranch or Farm
Range Land Use
Keep livestock Numbers i'm Constant,
Conservative Relation to Resources
By MONT SAUNDERSON

DURING THE MANY years that
have worked with Montana ranch
and farm people on the organization
and management features of their
operations, I've often been impressed
with the extreme differences that
prevail in the rate of use of the same
or similar kinds of rangelands. On
some occasions I've given consider
able study to the significance of such
differences in terms of the income
to the livestock enterprises.
In reporting on this to you, wish
first to give some illustrations of the
differences that 1 have observed in
the rates of use of similar Montana
range lands, in several different To-
cations. Then, I'll give my analysis
of the effects of these different use
rates in terms of the economics and
business results of the ranch and
farm users of the range land.
One of the best stock ranching
areas in Montana lies eastward and
northeastward from the Crazy noun
tains in west central Montana. This
is an area with probably Is inches
of moisture, as the long time an
nual average. For the grazing sea-
son of eight or nine months, different
operators will use the same kind of
grazing land at rates varying from
IS acres to 26 acres per cow. I've
seen adjoining ranches of similar
size and with the same kind of range
with those differences in their use
of their grazing lands. Which was
right, in terms of good management?
100 Per Cent Variations
In the southeastern Montana
ranching area, south and west of
Miles City, similar ranches with the
same kind of grazing land will prac-
Montana farmer-stockman., 1954-05-01

tice rangeland use rates varying be-
tween 80 acres and so acres for the
range grazing season. Here, the
range season is mostly year-long,
with some hay and concentrate fed
as range supplements. The average
annual precipitation of the area is
mostly around IL or Is inches.
On the better of the foothill bunch
grass ranges of the mountain valleys
of western Montana, the use rates
will vary between one acre per cow
month and two acres per cow month.
Average annual precipitation for
such areas will as rule be around
Is inches.
Such extremes as these in the use
rates practiced on Montana grazing
lands, with differences up to 100 per
cent, imply a real question as to
what is desirable for making the best
income from the livestock enter
prises and for maintaining the land
resource in productive condition. The
answer to the question cannot be in
terms of this years profits alone.
Most Montana rangeland users wish
to plan for stability and for the years
ahead.
Steady Stocking Pays
From my analysis of the business
results of Montana stock ranches and
stock farms that have these extremes
in the use of the native rangelands,
I've concluded that, without excep-
ton, there is a definite profits adj
vantage for the plan of stocking that
varies but little in numbers and that
is fairly light relative to the range
land capacity of the good years.
This is true even though there
might be considerable profits adj
vantage during the better years

good wind will keep blowing.
The concerto was recorded in
England not too long before
Schnabel's death, as is evi-
dent from the robust sound.
Few pianists have been able to
bring this soaring work to
such vibrant life. This disc
may also serve as a worthy
memorial Of one sort (the
HMV Boris Godounov" is an
other) to the conducting art
Of Essay Dobrowen, whose pre-
mature death was recorded in
a small dispatch in this news
paper recently.
Had Mozart been supersti-
tious. he might have cast the
music which bears the label
K. 361 in a different form. Ap-
parently he was not; at any
rate, K. 361 has 13 instru-
ments, all winds, and 1t re-
mains one Of the most effer-
vescent and diverting of Mo-
zart's lighter works. It makes
a welcome addition to the sub
stantial list of Westminster
discs in this genre. in the new
performance. just issued, by
the Vienna Philharmonic wind
group.
Westminster also is respon-
sible for an excellent new per-
formance Of the Dvorak cello
concerto. Antonio Janigro. the
cellist, seems to be able to do
about anything he wishes with
his chosen instrument, and
here 1t Is all in the spirit of
Dvorak, ably abetted by the
Vienna State Opera Orchestra
led by the young American,
Dean Dixon. Janigro being Of
Milanese origin, one can call
this thoroughly international
product.
Stondord Items
Paul Paray's stewardship
with the Detroit Symphony
has not yet produced any re-
corded repertoire that could
be labeled enterprising. But
perhaps there is degree of
boldnesS in the Detroit-Par
procedure, at that; undeniably
there is risk involved when
ones entry is the 18th or 14th
or SO in the catalog. The
latest Detroit products are a
Beethoven Seventh which is
energetically taut without
being as arresting as Tosca-
minis; a Franck D minor con-
siderably fresher than others
heard Of late. including the
recent Capitol issue by Golsch-
mann. and a set of excerpts
from "Lohengrin." Tam
hauser," Die Meistersinger"
and Die Walkure' which
prove that Wagner is not
necessarily alien to French
men. or at least those French
men who know their business.
Mercury's single-microphone
recording technique endows all
this with remarkable clarity,
without supplying quite the
suavity that one could wish.
Mahler's First Symphony IS
served up splendidly on a Cap
itol disc by the Pittsburgh
Symphony under William
Steinberg.

Vincenzo Bellini's II Puri-
tani." the most interesting Of
the first operas to come from
Angel. is one more proof that
an operas exclusion from the
familiar repertoire may have
no relationship at all to its
artistic worth.
II Puritani," Bellini'ss last
opera. has been around now
for 100 years. Francis Toye,
in Angels album notes, says
Bellini operas are now ION the
map" in England, where the
plot Of this one is set (rather
than in New England). But
the Metropolitan hasn't given
it since 1917-18, and even in
Italy it has hardly been a
staple.
The operas character may
have something to do with
this neglect. Dramatically, II,

are absurd, too-for instance,
the entrance Of Puritan SOL
diers to the accompaniment
of organ and church bells. and
the hailing of q Cromwellian
victory with cries Of liberty.
Weak operate plots are
nothing new. however. and the
music Is quite a different mat
ter. Bellini was an alto

there was no limit to lyrical

dies, written with extraordi-
nary simplicity and directness.
and delight to listen to.
Difficult to Sing
The real reason we can listen
to them so seldom Is that Bel
lini's arias are extremely diff
cult to sing, demanding both
unusual physical resources and
uncommon Skill-a sort of Mo-
zartian perfection. The new
recording, fortunately, has
singers who measure up splen-
didly. Maria Callas, the much
publicized Brooklyn-bo So
prano, sings with style and
eXpreSsiveneSS, and untroubled
by high Ds. The quality of
her voice is not consistent
throughout the range, but for
the most part it is very agree
able. and her ''Qui la voce sua
soave' is we'll worth owning.
Giuseppe Di Stefano is sur
prisingly successful in the
tenor lead, hitting his own top
D in "Vieni fra queste braccia"
with aplomb. BasSo Nicola
Rossi-Lemenl, Baritone Rolan-
do Panerai and Aurora Cat
telani. who has the brief mezzo
role of Charles Is widow, also
do a fine job. In fact, here is
one opera recording in which
1t is unnecessary to criticize
any one. for which veteran
Conductor Tullio Serafin un-
doubtedly deserves much of the
credit. The engineering is
good. too.
SehnobeI Beethoven
Considering the widely
acknowledged ascendancy of
the late Artur Schnabel as an
interpreter of Beethoven, it
is surprising that RCA Victor
has not been prompter in
bringing more examples of the
Schnabel art to LIPS. A superb
