Precipitation was below normal. Water was scarce. Many operators left the forest before the grazing season closed because the palatable forage had been fully or over utilized and in order to prevent damage on areas near water holes. Approximately 10,000 deer and 600 elk also graze on the forest. Close cooperation is maintained with the local fish and game clubs to assure continuity of the deer herd under proper management. The sawing of 1800 acres of depleted range to grasses this fall will contribute in increasing the carrying capacity on some allotments.

Carried Out On ed It is not surprising that the day and year of the birth of Jesus are uncertain, for methods of keeping track of dates during "the era when Christ was bom were not very reliable. For years, eminent scholars have been searching the scriptures, and all possible records, to try to establish an exact date. So far, they have not succeeded. Matthew states that Jesus was born during the reign of King Herod which helps to establish the period of His birth and this is the starting point from which the scholars attempt to reckon the year. The statement by Matthew that the wise men from the east, in inquiring Where is He that is born King of the Jews? aroused Herod so that he ordered the massacre of all children two years old or less, is very significant. It is taken as proof that Jesus must have been born about two years before this infamous decree was issued. No less an authority than the Catholic encyclopedia places the birth of Christ in the year which, by our modern methods of keeping track of dates, would be 7 B. C, Thus, Christs birth does not exactly determine the difference between B. C. and A. D. date. Most people, however, do not 'care if the exact day and year of Christs birth are unknown.
