PROFESSIONAL PAPER August 6, 1919 RANGE MANAGEMENT ON THE NATIONAL FORESTS. By James T. Jaedine, Inspecior of Grazing, and Maek Andeeson, Grazing Examiner. INTRODUCTION. In the administration of the National Forests the aim is to convey to the greatest jDossible number the full benefit of all the resources whicli the Forests contain and at the same time to perpetuate these resources by regulating their use. Accordingly, grazing on the National For- ests is regulated with the object of using the grazing resources to the fullest extent possible consistent with the protection, development, and use of other resources. As the National Forests were established primarily for the pro- tection and development of the Forests and the protection of the watersheds, great pains must be taken to harmonize graz- ing with these primary purposes. Also, as plans go forw-arcl for the development and use of new range and for more complete utiliza- tion of all unused areas within the ranges now in use, more and more care must be exercised to see that the wild life of the Forests is not unduly restricted. As long as a large portion of each Forest was un- used by domestic stock the main feature of game protection was proper regulation of hunting; but with grazing reaching out to the pockets and corners, the problem of insuring forage and secluded spots for game becomes more complicated. The recreational features of the National Forests, too, are of increasing importance, and in- creased attention is necessary to harmonize grazing use with recre- ational use. Rules governing the granting of grazing privileges and the use of National Forest lands for grazing purposes are to be found in the Note.—A table of contents by headiDg:s will be found on page 97. 111479*—Bull. 790—19 1 1.
