Another experiment is to learn the extent to which aspen, when thinned by cutting all trees! mine-prop size, can be depended on to produce futuro crops of mine props ' and the length of time required for the oext and following crops. For this j a plot has been thinned and reeon" made of the present size of each re maining tree The smaller irecs have previously been shaded so that their, growth has been slow. The question is. How rapidly will they recover when given sunlight" To determining i this, Bunsequent measurements will be taken at regular intervals Other experiments seek to find Improved methods of planting There has been serious trouble from washing and gullying of the mountain slopes In the vicinity of the Btatlon, especially on the summit of the mountain To reduce this damage by favoring the growth of grasses, the crazing of sheep har- hcen ecliid d on a strip f0 miles long and 2 miles wide at the top of the east slope.

After that, grazing will be continued on the one but not on the other, to find to what extent washing of the oil will be lessened by the encroachment of vegetation.

SURVEYING THE HOMESTEADS IN FOREST Timoth Uol, .. the land de partment of the forest service and .) (' Hrown have gone to Sali Lake todaj to confer with the surveyor goneral on the surveying home, tea. I lands In the national forests. An ef fort will be made to get the surveyor to begin operations by July 1 An announcement that will be glad- j 1 welcomed bj hundreds of home steaders within the national forests, ; throughout the west has just cornel from Washington to the effect that I an arrangement has been perfected whereby metes and bounds home Steads In the national forests can be Surveyed by officers of the forest service without expense to the entry men The law by authority of which the' national forests were established, I made no provision for home-tea. Is in the national forests. When a great ! man forest had been proclaimed, however. It was found Impossible to 1 adjust their boundaries In a manner to entirely leave out the agricultural J lands, as small tracts were scattered throughout many of the timbered areas The forester recognized the desirability of providing for the honiesteading of these tracts, and drafted and suggested the passage of the forest homestead Act ot Jhne 11, 1906. under which, In District I alone, more than 1400 homesteads have been taken In th national for ests It happened that a great many of tho small tracts of agricultural lands In the forests were In unsurvey ed count ry. a-nd there was no provls Ion for their survey except as the pub lic land survey could be extended In the usual manner Accordingly, he forest homestead act provided for I the opening of these land i i by spoei , metes ami bound - made by the forest officers. t S were however, not recognized . m land office as sufficient as a i wi upon which to issue patent and ;, K entryman for each tract was u ;.:.. I W; to furnish, at his expense, a se on l Jc survey made by a surveyor designated bj and under the instructions of the Surveyor General The forest serv ice, mure than four years ago, sug gested to the land office the desira bility of some plan of co-operation to obviate the necessity of two surveys and to relieve the entry men of any expense in that connection. A sugges tive plan was outlined and confer ences and correspondence had be tween the two departments. It was found, however, that the plan was not feasible without some additional legislation, which has now been se cure, and the details of the co-op -eratlve arrangement worked out. in anticipation of this plan, the forest service has been making spe cial effort to have everything In readiness by tho first of July, when T e the department of agriculture appro priation bill goes into effect making the funds available. District F..rester E. A. Sherman of the Ogden office announces that, so far as the forest service end of El the matter Is concerned, everything is in readiness to begin the actual work in the field on July 1 The law requires that the forest officers who do this work must have the approval of the Survevors General of tho vari ous states in which the work Is to ho done. District Forester Sherman Btates that the whole personnel of his district has been gone over carefully In the selection of the men to bo recommended to the surveyors gen oral for assignment to this work, and Onlj those Of known ability as sur veyors will at first he recommended In District 4, embracing Utah, Ne vada most of Idaho, and portions of W onilng and Arizona, the field work will be under the direction of B. L Wheeler, of the Ogden office, assisted by J. C Brown. C P. Calvert, and W. B. Rice. fj "That the announcement will be welcome to mauy homesteaders," said District Forester Sherman, "can be appreciated by all who know what It means to a struggling homesteader to know that he Is relieved of the ex pense of a survey. Agricultural lands In the forests are usually In remote I sections, and surveyors hav In most 1 ,' Instances had to be brought from a distance, and surveys in this district have been known to cost as high a Lbree ami four hundred dollars. Gov emment and Carey Act reclamation projects and purchases of lands from the states have very largely drawn the intending settlers nbo have lieen favored with funds to any extent, while n a vast majority of cases the settlers in the national forests are the , home seekers who have been, by force of circumstances, coiiilled to seek j the cheaper land, and I know that I 'speak for the Forest Service as a fX t whole and every individual member 'thereof, when I say that I am heart II glad to know that the settlors in the national forests are relieved of ; this burden, and we expect In the fu- L G ture. as we have In the past, to do pj-jj the very best we can to facilitate the work and plans of the bona fide homesteaders In the National For ests.
