SEES WORLD’S GRASSLAND
IN BAD SHAPE
Berkeley, Calif. — (AP) — The
earth’s land area is 30 per cent
grassland, says Dr. Arthur W.
Sampson, University of California
professor of forestry. And much
of this area has been devastated
by poor grazing practices, he says.
He pictures large parts of Af-
rica, Spain, Greece, India and Pal-
estine as wrecked by such prac-
tices. In the United States he
estimates that existing range is
producing at only 52 per cent of
its original capacity and that 55
per cent of the range has less than
half of its former capacity.
Good range should have a dense
stand of perennial grass, he says.
