BULLETIN 738, U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. 



palatable forage was eaten, but the ground was not seriously tram- 

 pled, the plot was classed as "moderately grazed"; and where prac- 

 tically all forage was eaten and the surface considerably worn by 

 trampling, it was called "closely grazed." Bed grounds, where the 

 sheep bunched up for the night or during the middle of the day and 

 where grazing was most intense, were grouped separately.
