Excerpt from Range Management in the State of Washington
Owing to the greatly lowered carrying capacity of ranges in the State of Washington, investigations were begun in the spring of 1901 to determine, if possible, what steps must be taken to preserve these ranges and what methods should be used to bring the badly over grazed areas back to their original state of productivity. These investigations were carried on cooperatively between the Bureau of Plant Industry of the United States Department 'of Agriculture and the Washington Agricultural Experiment Station from that time until January 1, 1904, when the experiment station withdrew. Since that time these investigations have been carried on independently by the Bureau of Plant Industry.
In the early nineties the ranges were very much overgrazed, and owing to the overcrowded conditions were deteriorating very rapidly. In 1896 the Northern Pacific Railway Company, In order to alleviate these conditions, which by that time had become very serious, insti tuted a system of leasing the railroad land, or Odd sections, of the grazing areas to the stockmen. The motive in leasing this land was to prevent the destruction of the native forage plants of the grazing areas, which meant the removal of the stockmen from that region and a consequent loss of traffic to the railway company. The first lease of this kind 'was issued on July 1, 1896. Between that date and June 13, 1903, over 300 leases, embracing about acres of land.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores advancements in range management within the state of Washington over the period 1901-1905, as this subject became an urgent one regionally owing to serious degradation of the available grazing lands there. The author explains the factors such as climate, vegetation, and dominant grazing animals that affected local grazing conditions and made it difficult to manage the land effectively. They then present recommended practices for improving the land and optimising grazing, including reseeding, fencing, and the concept of using different portions of land alternately. They explain how this is done, and also present supplemental information on the plants of interest in the context of grazing management, including those to be encouraged on the land and those which are undesirable or potentially invasive. This book is an excellent resource for students of ecology, agriculture, and land management as it explains basic principles, demonstrates their application, and includes supplemental details on local flora of the area.
