Students Report Studios and Trips The conservation area we went to see is east of Kanab, on Norris Brown's grazing allotment. Juniper trees were taken off the land by chaining. Big chains were pulled between tractors and the trees were pulled up or knocked over. The links In the chains could weight from 40 to 90 pounds. The chains havz been used to hold anchors on big ships. After the trees were down they were piled up and burned and then crested wheat grass was planted. We could see miles and miles of tall grass. Many hills were covered with globemallow also called slippery elm. It was pretty and Mr. Haacke told us that livestock could eat It. h some places the grass was extra tall. This was where the trees were burned and potash went into the soil. This work increases the forage for stock. About 200 head can feed where only one could before. Gilbert Aiken Belinda Brown Marion Combes Todd Haacke We ate our lunch near Ray Buntings reservoir. He had put bentonite In his reservoir. This swells when it gets wet so the water won't seep into the ground but stays In the reservoir until it can be used. The reservoir can be filled at night and then a big stream can be used to irrigate in the daytime. Some land had "been cleared of sage brush with a rotary cutter end then grass was planted.

Mr. Haacke showed us where soil is being made from rocks and the rocks start to crumble. Then tiny plants and moss grow. Later grass, weeds and shrubs grow. Wind, rain and freezing help make soil out of rocks. We rubbed rocks together to see how soil can be started. Lou Ann Crosby Rosalee Riggs Keith Robinson We went on a trip to the telephone office.
