RANGE) is WASTE:

four hundred million acres furnish about forty million dollars worth 

 of feed or ten cents per acre and year. 



Where range lands are leased as by the state of Texas and oth- 

 ers, or where stock is grazed at fixed rate per head as by the United 

 States Indian Office and the United States Department of Agricul- 

 ture, the price is generally below five cents per acre and year, or 

 season. From these few figures it is clear that where land can be 

 used for forestry or for farming the use as range is an inexcusable 

 waste.
