80 Forest Club Annual 



The report that accompanies this map will discuss tne 

 forest by graz'ing districts, giving special attention to tne 

 following headings: 



1. Full description of each type and subtype mapped* 

 with special reference to the species of forage plants. 



2. Condition of the range. 



3. Unused range, extent and reasons for non-use of the 

 areas with recommendations as to their future management. 



4. Areas of poisonous plants. 



5. Range destroying animals. 



6. Water facilities. 



7. Areas used for summer, winter, or for the entire 

 year and any recommendations as to their future manage- 

 ment. 



8. Any other features that the Examiner thinks are of 

 sufficient importance to be mentioned. 



It is planned, early in 1913, to fence a large area in one 

 or more types of varying density. These fenced enclosures 

 will be stocked with the different kinds of animals grazing 

 on the forest, and in this way the carrying capacity of the 

 enclosure will be determined. 



Early in the spring of 1912 another important branch 

 of the work was started. Studies were made and will be 

 continued, to determine the forage value of the important 

 forage plants, and to ascertain the damage to reproduction 

 due to the grazing of different kinds of stock. 



When this study has been completed the data derived 

 from it and the information given by the reconnaissance 

 map and report, together with the carrying capacity deter- 

 mined from the experiments with the fenced enclosures will 

 serve as very good data upon which to base a working plan, 

 giving the carrying capacity of each allotment and that of 

 the forest as a whole. 



Those familiar with ecological relations in this section 

 of the country believe that the general types will not change 

 materially for a long period of time. By using the working 

 plan accompanying the map and report, the Supervisor can
