MEMBER OF ASSOCIATED PRESS Che CasperDailyTritmae | INDUSTRIAL EDITION CASPER, WYOMING, SUNDAY, FEBRUARY i5, 1925 Revenues Of »F¥imberlands Are Divided i Recreational Features Improved by Roads And Trails. A total area of 8,417 j entitles the national forests of | Wyoming to a position of tmpor- ? tance among tho resources of’ the state, Fourteen counties share in | the net incomes of t @ properties 778 acres } and spend the proceeds on 1c ! roads and schools. For the fiscal { year ending June 80, 1924, the amount returned directly to these countie: » $71,1 by the forest service was to one county alone + $16,633 This amounts to 25 per cent of the annual receipts. Another 10 { per cent {s spent by the forest ser- } vice directly on roads and trails in ¢ the state in addition to special funds ‘appropriated by congress for this f purpose. Forest revenue 1s derived largely { trom pasturing thousands of head Lof livestock during the summer "months and from the judicious cut- j ting of timber of many grades, in- cluding hundreds of thousands of tiroad ties. Furnishing of range for livestock is one of the more direct functions and no less than j,%50 ranchmen are dependent upon the luxurious’ grasses that grow in [the open places for the pasturing sof great herds upon which the nation in turn {s dependent for {ts meat supply. The success of this industry be- came assured with the ablish- tote jal relation of co-oper- ation between the stockgrowers and the forest service—such a relation as eliminates governmental {mpost- tion of restrictions and regulations and provides for the enforcement by the government of suggestions from stockmen based on conditions proyed by actual experience on the range. Thus an association representing the majority of the permittees on a certain range unit find that there is some frregularity among its mem- bers in maintaining the proper dis- tribution of salt.
