Where artificial planting is practiced, grazing is often forbidden until the young trees get a good start.
The total receipts which Uncle Sam collects from the 30,000 or more stockmen who graze their cattle and sheep on the National Forests amount to nearly $2,500,000 annually.

As a result of the teachings of the Forest Service, the stockmen are now raising better livestock.

Improved breeding animals are kept in the herds and flocks.

Many of the fat stock now go directly from the range to the market.

Formerly, most of the animals had to be fed on corn and grain in some of the Middle Western States to flesh them for market.
