Excerpt from Increased Cattle Production on Southwestern Ranges The locality is one of the most arid in the Southwest. Records for 55 years at Mesilla Park, about 15 miles southwest of the Reserve, show an average annual precipitation of 8. 63 inches, with precipita tion for individual years as much as 17 inches andas' little as inches. Temperatures as high as 106 are common in summer, and the'region is subject to almost continuous high winds and, conse quently, high evaporation. The soils ofthe plain are rather coarse to medium textured wind-blown sands, with patches of heavy adobe clay, usually with a rather high percentage of alkali, where water often stands until evaporated. The soils of the mountains and the outwash plains flanking them are coarse sands and gravels. Naturally, with this combination of poor soils, low precipitation, high temperatures, and high winds, the vegetation is comparatively thin and made up of drought-resistant, semidesert species. By far the greater part of the forage, perhaps 80 per cent, is furnished by perennial grasses, of which the most important are the grama grasses, three-awn, tobosa, drop - seed, muhlenb orgias, burro grass, and wolftail.1 On large areas of the foothills and mesa, black brush, creosote bush, and mesquite predominate; but black brush and creosote bush are worthless as forage, and the mesquite is of low value. In figure 2 the vegetation is classified into range types for all of the Reserve except the mountain portion.

Excerpt from Feeding Beef Cattle in California In the beef cattle industry conducted on a range basis, finishing in the feed lot is usually a separate business from raising the cattle. Cattle may be raised on cheap lands on grazing areas not suitable for cultivation, whereas the feeding or finishing must be done in farming areas where a surplus of roughage and concentrates is produced. The Southwest and Intermountain' regions are typical cattle raising or breeding grounds, while the Corn Belt is the great finishing area. In California there are vast areas of grazing lands, which at present are depended upon not only to carry breeding herds, but also to furnish fat cattle for market. Although feeding is done in the irrigated valleys, it does not at present occupy a very significant place in the program of beef production of the state.

Excerpt from The Utilization of Browse Forage as Summer Range for Cattle in Southwestern Utah The effect on the chief related resources, watershed values, and western yellow pine reproduction is an equally important field for study, but investigations have not yet reached a point where this can be determined. Although careful observations of western yellow pine reproduction of various sizes have thus far shown plainly that the cattle have not injured young trees above the seedling age, except by rubbing an occasional small tree, during the period of the study seed crops have not been adequate to determine what effect the cattle might have on young seedlings. Consequently the present study deals only with the effect of grazing on the forage plants and on the cattle grazed.

Excerpt from The Cut-Over Pine Lands of the South for Beef-Cattle Production Although the value Of pure bred bulls for improving the native cattle was generally recognized, their number has increased slowly. Few men in each county owned sufficient numbers of cows to ln duce them to purchase a bull and only the most progressive men have been purchasers.

Excerpt from The Southwestern Historical Quarterly, Vol. 20: July, 1916, to April, 1917 The range industry has long been waging a rather successful conflict With a strange assortment of enemies, Who, fortunately for the range industry, have not. All been on the firing line at the same time. Eastern stockmen, western settlers, cattle thieves, the Sheep industry, and the greed Of the ranchmen themselves have filled the ranks of the enemies of the ranges.

Excerpt from The Practical Application of the Kent Grazing Bill to Western and Southwestern Grazing Ranges: An Address Now, with high prices for meat and this shortage of beef staring us in the face, let us look for just a moment at the awful condition which confronts the stockman today, with free and unrestricted grazing. He cannot fence part of the public domain. No, no, that is criminal! He is not allowed to count upon his grazing resources one month in advance. That is bad business management, due to our government's negligence. If he stacks up feed on the public domain for a famine period, develops additional water supplies, improves: the quality of his herds, eradicates poisonous weeds, seeks to improve the carrying capacity of the land, or tries to prevent erosion or cutting and over grazing, he does so at his own expense, and his neighbors may derive as much benefit from this work as he, without sharing any of the outlay. Gentlemen, I call this rank injustice. I condemn it. If the stockman has water and grass on the public domain for a thousand cattle, no matter how long he has been a resident, another stockman, and perhaps a non-resident, can put down there beside these cattleanother thousand head of stock, and the resident stockman can have no recourse. He must share, and share alike, his losses with the intruder, regardless of his improvements and his, foresight. Besides this injustice to the individual stockman, unrestricted grazing has done infinitely greater harm to our country as a whole. It has invariably resulted in overstocking and overgrazing, and in destroying the best and most nutritious grasses on the ranges, thereby reducing both the quality and quantity of the remaining forage from vear to year. It also makes impossible the alternate grazing and resting of areas to insure natural seed production, and it has been directly responsible in the past, and it is no less responsible today, for the heavy losses of stock from starvation on the ranges. In Arizona more than three-quarters of a million head of cattle, to say nothing of sheep, have perished from famine in thirty years' time. I condemn free grazing as unsafe for that one awful truth alone. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
