Of the forest (s in the hands of the
department of agriculture, naturally
there is a desire to encourage the
use of good breeding stock and to
eliminate the scrubs. In general, the
effort is to make the ranges as bene-
ficial to the country as possible. This
is done partly by making experi-
ments and studies to find out to what
extent new methods will pay.
An example is a series of experi-
ments covering the use of sheds and
email fenced pastures during lamb-
ing time which, forest officers say,
has practically demonstrated the val-
ue of this method in increasing the
number of lambs saved. Although
the ranges on most of the forests are
to be practically stocked to the limit,
the experts believe it is possible to
increase the output of the ranges sub- i
itantially through improved methods
of utilization.
One of the most promising of these
methods is to increase the average
Weights of the animals turned off by
improving the grade of stock on the
ranges. The thoroughbred eats no'
more grass than the scrub, weighs
more pounds when fat, and sells for
a higher price, without putting any
additional burden on the range itself.
That livestock leaves the National
fdrest range in excellent condition is
indicated by several instances re-
ported by forest officers during the
Beason of 1915. Sheep men using the
Hayden National forest range in Col-
orado agreed at a recent meeting that
their 1915 lambs averaged fully ten
pounds per head above the average
Of ten years ago, which they attrib-
uted entirely to the results of range
conservation.
Of two large shipments of lambs
from the. Wyoming National forest,
one averaged 80 and the other 84
pounds per head on the scales at
Omaha. The average weight of 50,000
head of April and May lambs from
the Madison forest in Montana, after
being shrunk for twelve hours, was

Heavy rains from Marble Falls on
up the Colorado fell Friday and Sat-
urday. Marble Falls reportejl over 3
inches while at Ballinger, some 100
miles northwest of Marble Falls,
nearly 3 inches fell. From these two
reports it is safe to conclude that the
entire upper reaches of the river re-
ceived heavy rains, which will give
the river an abundance of water here
within about ten days.
At Austin about one inch fell with
half that much at Smithville.
Between here and Smithville the
rain was light. However, heavier
precipitation is looked for again the
