10 Forest Club Annual 



Grazing land is divided into eight types, viz: 



1. Open grass land (other than meadows). This type in- 

 cludes bunchgrass areas, gramagrass areas, and other open 

 grass lands not meadow in character. 



2. Meadows. This includes the wet meadowlands where 

 sedges, etc., predominate and those moist, meadowlike areas 

 which occur usually as open parks in the timber. 



3. Weed. This type embraces all untimbered areas where 

 weeds are the predominant forage. It includes aspen range 

 where weeds are the predominant forage. It does not include 

 small weed areas in coniferous forests. 



4. Browse. This includes all lands, outside of conifer 

 timber, where browse is the prevailing forage. 



5. Sagebrush. This type includes all lands where sage- 

 brush predominates. 



6. Timber range, supporting a stand of grasses, weeds, 

 and browse. This type includes all range in coniferous forests. 



7. Waste range in dense timber and brush. This includes 

 all timbered and brush areas which are valueless for grazing 

 purposes. 



8. Barren land. This type includes all areas where 

 naturally there is no vegetation. 



In addition to these eight main types provision has been 

 made for the representation of such subtypes as may be neces- 

 sary to indicate all the important diversities of range. Also, 

 in case the eight general types do not represent all the types 

 of a particular district, the District Forester may decide upon 

 an additional type or types. The eight grazing types referred 

 to are represented on the maps by crayons of various colors, 

 but, owing to the inconvenience of carrying the crayons into 

 the field, numbers (from 1 to 8) are temporarily employed to 

 designate the several types. 



1. Yellow 5. Black 



2. Orange 6. Green 



3. Red 7. Ultramarine 



4. Olive-drab 8. (Diagrammatic 



of scabland) 



Range normally stocked is represented in solid color; 

 overgrazed areas are indicated by horizontal hatching in type
