Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Grazing Fees; Guaranty Price on Wheat: Hearings Before the Committee on Agriculture, House of Representatives, Sixty-Sixth Congress, Second Session; Thursday, April 1, 1920
You may remember that at the time the 640-acre grazing-homestead bill was enacted that there was a great deal of talk about driveways to and from the forests, and the Interior Department withdrew in a few instances driveways as long as 150 miles. Now, these drive ways were for permitting the users of the forests to drive from their permanent location to the reserves. It is not infrequently the case that the users of the reserves are obliged to ship their live stock by train to as near the forest as possible, and then drive them the bal ance of the way. All this contributes to the expense of using the grazing on the forests and to our mind largely makes up for What appears on the surface as too great difference between the cost of the grass on the forests as compared with the grazing under fenced pastures. Poisonous plants and predatory animals take a heavy toll on our live stock.
