SIR:—Referring to our respondence regarding between the Departments very important matter time should be called to you namely, the grazing of stations of the National Farm on areas tributary to stream irrigation. Requests have come to me and orally from irrigators officials of the reclamation every reasonable effort be strict grazing by sheep o A Matter of Vast Import on Both Grazing and Irrigation Interests of the Western States Washington, April 16. — Correspondence having a most important bearing on both grazing and irrigation interests in the west has been made public by Secretary James Wilson of the Department of Agriculture. Questions relating to the proposed prohibition of grazing on streams supplying water for irrigation have occupied the attention of the Departments of Agriculture and the Interior for some weeks and a co-operative investigation has been agreed upon with the hope that the problem may be settled to the satisfaction of all interests concerned. In giving out the two letters bearing on the investigation, Secretary Wilson said: "A recent addition to the Southern division of the Tonto National Forest in Arizona made at the request of the United States Reclamation Service to protect the watersheds of the Verde and Salt rivers and a subsequent order to close the area to sheep and goat grazing after April 1, 1909, have brought up questions which have a most important bearing on two great industries of the west—stock-raising and farming on irrigated lands. "Requests from irrigators and officials of the Reclamation Service that efforts be made to restrict grazing by sheep on the watersheds of streams used for irrigation, on the one hand, and protests to the Forest Service by stockmen, on the other, have given rise to a situation which can only be settled by a very careful investigation, which has been agreed upon by the Secretary of the Interior and myself. The investigations will be made with the one end in view—that the resource must be for the greatest good to the greatest number. "The investigation of the land to consider whether it is necessary to restrict the grazing of sheep and goats on the watersheds will be made by the officers of the Reclamation Service and the Forest Service in cooperation, who will meet the stockmen on the ground during the coming summer and thrash out the whole problem. If it is found that a limited number of sheep and goats can be allowed to graze on any of the ranges on the watersheds of the" Requests have come to me and orally from irrigators and officials of the reclamation every reasonable effort has been strict grazing by sheep on from which water flows to them used in irrigation, or to constructed for conserving supply. There are many overgrazing because of rest to the irrigators. At this time the subject of the use of grass during the coming season consideration, it is advised this matter even more cared than in the past. My trip through the western and interviews with numbers representing varied interest to the conclusion that of sheep grazing as affecting is one to which we should not attention, if we are to conservation of the water nor the greatest benefit to the number of citizens. I have the honor to request far and as rapidly as practicable be restricted on, or when excluded from watersheds now or immediately to be waged, and that as to other held for future irrigation sheep grazing be carefully Such restrictions are needed for the lands reclaimed by government, but as well for claimed under the Carey Land laws. Very truly your JAMES RUDOLPH GA Marc THE HONORABLE, THE SECRETARY INTERIOR. SIR:—In reply to your letter 20 in which you ask for their or exclusion of sheep within national Forests upon the watersheds used for irrigation, honor to inform you that they of stock upon the different Forests for the season o already been made, and in meetings of the stockmen he been held and range allotment upon. Therefore, it would settle the sheep business much just criticism if a number of sheep already determined should be made season now about to open. In making the allowance and previous seasons careful "The investigation of the land to consider whether it is necessary to restrict the grazing of sheep and goats on the watersheds will be made by the officers of the Reclamation Service and the Forest Service in cooperation, who will meet the stockmen on the ground during the coming summer and thrash out the whole problem. If it is found that a limited number of sheep and goats can be allowed to graze on any of the ranges on the watersheds of the streams in question, the order prohibiting grazing will be modified so as to protect the interests of the sheepmen and at the same time check any tendency there may be to overgraze the forest or damage water supply used for irrigation. Because of the important bearing of the problem on grazing matters in the west, I deem it wise to make the correspondence public at this time in order that there will be no misunderstanding on the part of any interest. "The protection of the watersheds and streams supplying irrigation reservoirs depends primarily upon the possibility of giving full protection to all areas where grazing is allowed. The fewer forest officers there are to attend to the grazing business on the National Forests the more land will have to be closed to grazing. It must be remembered, therefore, that any reduction in the force of the forest service would necessarily be an attack on the entire grazing industry of the west. Past experience has proven that stock can be allowed to graze, under proper regulation, on areas from which it would be necessary to exclude it if the range could not be properly patroled. The same situation is true regarding the permanent improvements. The more water that is developed, the more division fences that are constructed, the more roads, trails and bridges that are built, the more permanent the range will be and more stock it will carry." The correspondence given out is as in an enormous increase in the number of sheep in the United States, as well as in almost doubling their per capita value and the value of the wool product. It would be most unfortunate if after thus giving an industry care and support, it should be curtailed by restrictive measures except when such measures are clearly necessary for the proper protection of other and larger agricultural interests. The forage upon vast areas of desert range can be utilized only by winter pasturing of sheep which are grazed within the national forests during the summer. In such cases nonuse of the summer range means loss of the winter range also. The market for the products of agricultural lands in many localities is largely dependent upon sheep feeding during the winter. It is therefore evident that the interests of many irrigators, as well as those of almost all western sheep men, are involved in this question. It has been suggested that were sheep excluded from all national forest ranges their places would be taken by cattle of nearby settlers. This would be true in some localities, but there are large areas of grazing lands within the national forests that could not be used to advantage for cattle grazing on account of distances from settlements, roughness of the country, and kind of forage produced. The exclusion of sheep from these areas would mean entire loss of forage crops. The foregoing consideration should, I think, be given due weight in making the investigation of sheep grazing which it is proposed to undertake. Every effort should be made to utilize the forage crop, the loss of which would be a loss to the whole west. But I recognize that the water supply as well as the forage crop must be used and above all conserved and protected that no single industry can properly be allowed to dominate the situation, and that the use of the Nrtional Forest ranges must be subject to the restrictions necessary for the proper care of the Forests and the protection of the watersheds of streams. I have the honor to be, Sir, Very respectfully, Your obedient servant. JAMES WILSON, Sec'y.

I Com Inform you that the allowances for upon the different National for the season of 1908 have been made, and in many cases of the stockmen have already paid and range allotments agreed Therefore, it would greatly unite the sheep business and cause criticism if a reduction in number of sheep already officially used should be made for the show about to open. Making the allowances for this previous seasons careful consideration has been given by the Forest Service the protection of the watersheds used for irrigation, and as was consistent with fair notice owners reductions in the num-ock have been made wherever needed essential to stop damage grazing. The Forest Service regularly the guardian of the lands of both the irrigator and the rancher and must be careful to give square a deal as it gives the either more nor less, keeping best good to the greatest numbers in plain sight. But doubt, further restrictions made in certain localities and very glad to have the Forest Service agreeable to you, in cooperation with the Reclamation Service, thorough investigation of this during the coming summer. In we can determine what reduce-ny, in the number of sheep is easy to stop damage to the water-tany streams used for irriga- will be guided by the results investigations in making the allowances for next year.
