hills. Principal among these bunch
grasses are the spiked wheatgrass
and several species of the fescue
grasses. These bunchgrasses are not
sod formers, and there is no sod
forming understory grass, like the
blue grama of the Montana plains.
For several reasons the western
Montana bunchgrass ranges will not
stand up under the abuse that the
Montana plains ranges will take.
One reason is that there is no sod
forming understory grass like the
blue grama of the plains. Another
reason is the less mature and less
stable soils of the mountains and
foothills, compared with those of
the plains. Yet another is the higher
soil erosion potential of the steep
tainS.
AS result of this difference in
the ability of the two main kinds
of the Montana ranges to stand up
under heavy use, management re-
quires quite different standards in
use for grass and soil conservation.
Where it is safely possible as the
usual practice to Craze off two thirds
to three-fourths of the annual vol
ume growth of the Montana plains
grasses, the good use standard for
the western Montana bunchgrass
ranges is to take not more than half
of the annual volume growth of the
grasses, as a usual practice.
Good Browse Plants
The western Montana foothill
and mountain ranges have pretty
good supply of the browsable
shrubs, besides the bunchgrasses.
These browse plants are the noun
tain mahogany, the snowberry, the
cinquefoil, the aspen, willows, and
others.
Because of this greater supply of
the browse feed on the western
Montana ranges, it is possible to
maintain good livestock produc-
ton on such ranges for quite a
while in the face of overuse and a
decline in the condition and produc-
ton of the bunchgrasses. This,
plus the fact that the invading
range plants which will replace
the native bunchgrasses on an
overgrazed mountain or foothill
range can be fairly good range for
age, may cover up the economic
effects of overuse for quite a while
In contrast with this situation or
the economic results of overuse Of

Managing Ranch or Farm
Differences In Mountain,
Plains Range Resources
Bv MONT H. SAUNDERSON
By MONT H. SAUNDERSON

MY PURPOSE in this article is to
describe the principal kinds of Mon
tana range resources, and to sketch
the main features of their use and
management.
I'll not go into any preliminaries
on the extent and Importance of
Montana's rangeland resources in
the states agriculture. The value
and Importance of Montana range
lands is clear and apparent. Nearly
all of the 100000 head of beef
cattle on Montana ranches and farms
and of the 1,75O,000 head of stock
sheep on Montana ranches and
farms use the forage of Montana
rangelands.
Montana has two main kinds of
rangeland resources. These are as
ISOLATED with the differences in the
terrain, the soils and the climate of
the plains and of the mountain re-
gions of Montana. The Montana
plains country has characteristic
cally, one kind of range, and the
western Montana mountain and val
ley country has different kind.
The range type of the Montana
plains country is known as the
MIXED prairie" range. 1t is so called
because it has a mixture of the
short grasses and of the midgrasses,
or those of intermediate height.
Where these two kinds of grasses
grow in a good relationship in the
| plains ranges, we see this type of
range as 1.-TWO story range, with
the midgrasses as the top story and
the short grasses as the understory.
Principal among the midgrasses are
the western wheatgrass and the
needle-and- thread grass. The blue
grama grass is the main short grass
in the Montana plains ranges.
Seasonal Balance
These two kinds of grasses bal
ance each other well, seasonally, in
the Montana plains ranges. The
midgrasses are the cool-weathe1
grasses. They grow in the spring
and cure on the stem by midsum-
n1er. The grama grass is a warn
weather grass. 1t will grow quickly
in the warmth of summer, as mois
ture is available, to afford late
summer green feed. The grama doe
not yield the volume of feed pro
duced by the midgrasses, but it i
an important Montana plains grass
1t yields a fair amount of feed il
most years, and it is a good sot
former and soil protector.
Montana's plains ranges do no
have the plentiful supply of tn
range browse plants that we find il
many of the western range type.
The prairie ranges do have, how
ever, some kinds of browse feec
Because of the scarcity of browsabl
shrubs in the prairie ranges, sue
range plants should be valued an
conserved through management
where possible. Though the bi
sagebrush, or Artemesia tridentat
can be nuisance where the stanc
are dense, and it is not too usabI
by livestock, it does afford SON
browse feed as a supplement to tt
grasses.

Western Area Grasses

Along the western margin of the
Montana plains country, we see an
abrupt change in the range plant
life. There is a sharp transition
from the midgrasses and short
grasses of the prairie lands to the

It's time to get outdoor again
and the annual campaign by the

This year an effort is being
made to enlist the cooperation of
the nations youths as well as ad-

called upon to help. For example.
arrangements have been cOmplet-

Forest Fire Prevention for the
Forestry Division, it was not adopt
ed by the Forestry Division as a
central figure until 1947, and has
been used extensively ever since.
There was an average of 100000
forest fires annually prior to the
inauguration of the Smokey Bear
campaign. Since then the number
has been reduced to an average of
$4,000, even though thousands of
additional people visit forest and
woodland areas every year for pic
MICS, camping, hunting and fishing
expeditions.
If it were not for the extensive
fire-preventiOn program, of which

number of fires would be running
at the rate of between 100000 and
$4,000 annually because of in
