9:20 - How the Uodoc Administered Cattle Grasinr at a 

 Cost of 0.0^ per Head, 



R1CEPORD: 



I do not "believe that the high Sierra ranges or the 

 ranges on the Inyo national Forest can "be administered for 

 the same expense that the ranges on the Hodoc can. It de- 

 pends entirely upon the character of the country. 



Owing to the character of the high ranges on the 

 Corner Mountains for instance, it costs nore to administer 

 grazing than it does on the western ancl northwestern part of 

 the Modoc, The northwestern part is a comparatively level 

 country and all ranges are accessible, while on the 'Tarner 

 Mountains it requires considerable riding up steop mountain 

 sides, which, of course, requires more time* 



The cattle allotments on the Modoc Notional forest 

 were so well established during the season 1911 that very 

 little readjustment was necessary during the season 1912; and, 

 therefore, lessened the- labor of this branch of wor]c Furth- 

 ermore, all land applied for under Regulation G--19 for cattle 

 and horsos had been previously reporboc. for 1912* The expense 

 of this examination was therefore cut out this season^ 



Personal supervision of grazing matters was given
