looting the data in a roadily accessible form and compering 

 the data for different years. In addition to the card record 

 for each permittee, I "believe that there should' "be a card 

 record liept that would show for a period of years, for oach 

 permanent ran^e , the mono or of stool-: on the ran^e oach year, 



a "brief statement of climatic and other factors influencing 



i 



the raii^e , "brief statements as to the condition of the range 



"before and a fa or the season, and average weight of stock 

 from the range. 



2, In an intensive study of tho Foraf^e crop, it 

 is more difficult to arouse the interest of the rangers. I 

 "believe that the \7orl~ will have to "be done "by technical men, 

 with perhaps the help of a very fev; of the administrative 

 men who have a special "bent in that direction. 



3, The influence of Crazing; on Reproduction seems 

 still to "be a subject for investigation end is more a sub- 

 ject for special study "by someone who cen "be relied on to 

 lay out sample plots and malio accurate counts of see dings 

 injured and uninjured. 



4, The influence of Grazing on Protection against 

 fire nay "be studied in a general v/ay with tho aid of the 

 rancors T experience, supplemented 07 a definite outline of 

 q.uestians, originating, preferably in the District or i7ash~ 



ton Office, so that the information from as many sources 



as possible may be digested and combined and definite con- 



clusions drawn.
