Restoring Utah Rangelands Utah's devastated millions of acres of watershed land, without even ev-en the cover of black sage, is about to be redeemed thanks to the crested wheat grass of the Russian Rus-sian Caucasus. Scientists, range experts and livestock growers inspecting in-specting that great area from the Weber River to the Wyoming line found remarkable headway being made towards re-establishing grass as the main watershed cover. The crested wheat grass, requiring nothing no-thing but planting, is a product of Russia's black arid steppes and finds Utah's land and climate ideally suited to rapid and luxuriant lux-uriant growth. Cattle fed exclusively exclusive-ly on this grass will gain 100 pounds per montn. |
