What shall I plant? V.Tint is bost to plant, all things con- 

 sidered ? etc. etc. There has been some, experiment ing done 

 by a few permittees, but \-lth little success, generally duo 

 to mothers employed, oareloscnouB and laol: of time. 2rom 

 talks \vlth some grazers I have concluded that oorno anxiety 

 begins to arise concerning thq 'uturo carrying capacity of 

 their ran JOB. 



The following remarks ere Intended merely as sugges- 

 tions which it is hoped Trill be helpful in solving methods 

 applicable to the Tr.hoe: Careless and unintelligent ex- 

 periments should be discouraged. They lord to Indefinite 

 conoluolons and failures will discourage others and v/ill re- 

 tard progress in increasing the prof uotivneoe of the range 

 alon~ this line. Therefore I believe experiments should be 

 conducted by the 7orost Service r.t rangor stations trhon suoh 

 ranger station is so situated no to compare geographically 

 and meteorologically with P. certain grazing 'd.ictrict. 



Experiments should be conducted by Mongers. r.oono- 

 raical and practical nothods ehould prevril. Desired infor- 

 mation can be had f ora the Department of Agriculture rnd otheu 

 sources re^ardin^ ndaptibility of a species end method of 

 carrying &n experiments. Several different spooios should be 

 experimented with during the sonson. I believe they f.hould 

 be conducted under roost suitable conditions at orch ranger 

 btrtion, or not at rll. Careful seleotions of plot, culti- 

 vated, soere'! at proper time with tostod seed, r.nd ample 

 protection am' cere aftorvmrds. H:c^erioent3 r.hould continue 

 for t* o yor.rs for uinuals; three Or nore for biennials and 

 peronnirls. At the Brne time experiments r-hould be conducted 

 in a different rncnnor by simply 80"ing the seed broadcast in 

 ;vcrP7e ground v;hore it can bo rrazod end let it take cr.ro of 

 iteclf. This '-111 prove o' economic importrnce. 6 to 1 

 pounds of seed of r species ould be 3U'f.ricient. Any P.rnger 

 ie :ny c-riculturist at all con conduct thoee oy.^eriiionts 

 and keep a record and necesocry dota. Iluch ntuc : y should bo 



von tho enterprise. It is rn ercy natter to ;cln velueble 

 inform! tion from liccrrturo rnd correspondence re^rrdlng 

 succeocful culture methods and other reliable data. The aim 

 is to avoid unprofitable prolininr.ry experimentir . Once we 

 hr.ve been successful v;ith a species --o nrn call In thcao on- 

 torTirising grazers rndi ahow results. It \7lll serve as a 

 significant hint to those -ho have ambition and courage to 

 select an area upon their range end carry on culture methods 

 in a more practical manner. Wo cm instruct them in methods 

 employed, requirements, etc.
