ineffective. Under controlled sheep grazing (preferably none), but 

 with moderate grazing by cattle and horses, good results can be se- 

 cured by either piling and burning or by scatteding openly enough to 

 permit free access by cattle. Which of these two methods will give 

 the best results will depend upon the period elapsing between logging 

 and the first good seed crop, and a number of other factors such as 

 character of herbaceous vegetation and intensity of grazing. The out- 

 standing fact is that method of brush disposal is insignificant in com- 

 parison with control of sheep grazing. Under proper control of sheep 

 grazing fairly good reproduction can be secured under any method of 

 brush disposal, assuming that fires are kept out ; but without control 

 of sheep grazing reproduction will rarely be successful under any 

 method of brush disposal.
