quickly spring up to worthless or nox-
ious growths which spread and super-
sede the natural range cover. Large
areas are sometimes so bared by de-
structive over-grazing that they be-
come practically barren wastes.
The Forest Service and the Bureau
of Plant Industry, of the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture, have co-op-
erated in a series of experiments look-
ing toward the artificial rfeseeding of
portions of grazing lands with culti-
vated grasses, and studies are being
carried on to find out how overgrazed
areas can be reseeded naturally, and
how the carrying capacity of the
range can be increased through modi-
fications of the present methods of
handling stock. Much of the grazing
land included in the National Forests
was comparatively unproductive as a
result of unrestricted grazing before it
came under Forest Service control.
Since that time it is estimated that the
efficiency of these lands has been in-
creased 30 per cent merely by the pre-
vention of misuse. This represents
but the beginning of the good which
will result from > the experiments and
studies already started.
