HAY LAND MADE WAUBLEFOR ALSELKHERDS Jackson Hole Ranch Ranchers Offer to Sell Meadows to Government and Finance Aftrangements for Time Being ' CHEYENNE, Wyo., Jan, 9.—Ranch- men of the Jackson Hole, in their desire to co-operate in‘ the preserva- tion of the elk herds of that region from depletion by starvation during the winter months, not only are will- ing to sell to the federal government at a reasonable price sufficient hay land to provide an adequate supply of winter fodder for 10,000 elk, but are prepared to finance the project until such time as federal funds can be made available, is information con- * veyed to Colonel W. T. Judkins, Wyom- ing state game warden, by the Jack- son’s Hole Cattle & Horse Growers’ association, which has sent a commit- tee to Ogden to lay the proposal be- fore the federal district forester there, “Believing that the availibility of a sufficient amount of hay annually is the only possible way to save the’ elk,’ said Colonel Judkins today, “the stock- men of the Jackson Hole have been giving careful and intelligent atten- tion to plans by which hay in suffi- cient quantities can: be made avilable. “The federal government now owns approximately 2,800 acres of land near Jackson which is devoted to the rais- ing of forage for elk. This ranch does not, however, produce forage in suffi- cient quantities. Surrounding this gov- ernment ranch is what is locally known as ‘the swamp.’ This swamp is the only range or pasture in the valley that affords winter forage. This area grazes 3,000 head of cattle for 30 days in the early winter, and will graze 9,000 elk for a period of 45 days. The land can be developed to produce 4,000 tons of hay annually, besides affording the heretofore mentioned grazing. “The land ts all in private ownership, forming parts of eight ranches. The separate acreages run from 160 can be purchased for an avera; -for the 2,800 acres. acres Hugo museum here which was reopened to 560 acres, The land, I am informed, the other day, after having remained, of closed during the war, is a prophecy $40 per acre, or a total price of $115,200 in’ the poet’s handwriting declaring: t “It will cost approximately $20,000 to put the land under a proper form of cultivation to reach its maximum pro- duction. The annual_cost’ of running the ranch, including maintenance, on the basis of a production) of 4,000 tons of hay annually,. would: be approxi- mately $30,000. This is at the rate of $7 a ton for the hay, allowing $2,000 annually for incidentals, “The stockmen of the Jackson Hole district believe that the acquisition of these lands by, the federal: government is the key to the elk preservation problem and their proposal will be laid before the district Erwin in substan- tially the language’ I have are) wer production of 4.909 tons <of * nually is the only method by which the 10,000 elk which must find their win- ter subsistence in Jackson ‘Hole can be preservi “In order to put the plant into oper- TWOGANTATIS TOBE GIVEN BY.
