Livestock Meetings During the past week the Sup-1 ervisor and Hangers have been checking over grazing plans with the officers of tne various C .: H associations on the Manti Forest. On the Emery County side cf the range, the stockmen are asking j that arrangements be made tc utilize ut-ilize some of the dry grass that remains on the Forest sometime between February 1 and May 15, the date the regular grazing season seas-on opens. Owing to a shortage ol both feed and water on the East desert, the stockmen expect to find it extremely difficult to caie for their livestock during the corning corn-ing winter. Sheep Cross Mountain By Way Of Black Canyon And Oak Creek Niels Darn, Orrin Jensen and other sheep owners of Spring City drove their sheep across the mountain by way of Black Canyon Can-yon and Oak Creek one day last week. They report three feet ol snow for some distance along the top. The snow was loose and a good drag ahead of the herd made crossing possible. This is perhaps the latest date sheep have crossed the mountain in several years and the owners were fortunate in getting get-ting across before the last storm which deposoted several inches cl new snow at the higher elevations. Visitor Forest Ranger Ivan Pyreng from the Toiyabe Forest called at the Supervisor's office November 17. He reports winter ranges per- haps a little better in Nevada than in Utah. The stockmen, however, are taking every advantage of the food ;o as to cut down exoenses without taking chances on loslni; any of their flocks through shnrt'-rpr shnrt'-rpr cf food. |
