Drinkell This week we proudly tip our hats to a group of young citizens which is endeavouring with exceptional success to provide a program of social activities designed to usefully em- ploy the leisure hours of the tcwn’s teen-age population. We refer, of course, to the Stu- dents Council of the Williams Lake High School under the capable and energetic presidency of Joan Huston. This is activity of the utmost ‘in- portance, and effort worthy of the highest acclaim. The high: school auditorium, and its other facilities, utilized in this manner cannot fail to fully compensate for all the funds invested in them. We hope the effort of this group to provide a suitable library for its associates will prove equally suecess- ful. We have not heard them calling for help yet but if they should we trust it will be forthcoming in gen- erous abundance. The airport issue must be-worn a bit threadbare by this timé so we We now leave this matter to those one or two items appearing last week. In the event of the Lytton bridges being put out of commission it is the firm ‘opinion of this forum we would be infinitely better off, in the emer- gency, if we could put a fleet of trucks into operation along a first~ class freight highway running from Vancouver to Lillooet than we would be had we to rely upon the PGH in its present condition with its rickety trestles, skimpy ballast-and light weight rails. The trucks would do a better job. We would suggest those who question that should read Don- ald Gordon’s doleful report upon the 1952 operations of the CNR. He acknowledges that enabling legisla- tion is the only thing that makes it possible for the railroads to meet the challenge of the trucking services in many. branches of their. operations. In case of a war those considerations would not be applicable. We have never supported the Sa- vona connection. We have consist- ently rooted for the Lillovet-Lytton route, feeling that it offers the must advantages in the over all pattern Ne now leave this matter to those who may ‘still feel some advantage may be gained by further worrying over it. ? Big Creek News AFTER a two week stay in the hospital, Truman Henry was able to return home with his mother last Sunday. The badly crushed finger, which Dr. Avery was successful in saving, still requires a lot of care, and has a good deal of growing and healing to do yet. Hazel relieved the idleness of her stay in town by go- ing to work in Ure’s Laundry for the last few days. ARRIVAL of the Easter holidays has brought the following temporary changes: Mary Hutchinson came up from Alexis Creek Thursday to spend the Easter week end with her sister and brother-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Wilson. Gwen Fletcher left Thursday for her home in Trail. Accompanyihg Miss Fletcher and sharing her holiday is Teddy Paul, young son of Mrs. Helen Paul, who is employed at Church's. Home from Penticton is Johnny Church accom- panied by Bileen Taylor and Edna Hugo, both of Penticton. MRS. DUANE WITTE went out last week.to Williams Lake, where she will be staying for a while.

Range Reseeding Ways Studied The ranging industry of the inter- mountain region of British Columbia depends on a narrow strip of grass- land along the major river valleys. This spring-fall range holds the key to any extension of range livestock production. Because of the scarcity of open range it has been abused for the most part and its productive ca- pacity has declined, so any method used to increase the grazing capacity will benefit ranching and aid greatly in putting that industry on a sounder eccnomic footing. Range reseeding offers only one answer to this problem and is limited because of rough topography and rocky soils. With a view to evalu- ating range seedings, workers on the Range Experiment Station at Kam loops have taken clippings from 10 year old, well-established stands of Crested Wheat grass and compared them to adjacent native range. They found that on well grazed areas the seedings yielded an average of 753 pounds of dry matter per acre while the native sod, consisting of low grade perennials and annuals, only gave 319 pounds. On lightly grazed or protected areas, mainly in native bunehgrass, the comparison was not as striking with both reseeded and native species yielding about 600 pounds. Range reseeding results are often doubtful, according to T. G. Willis of the Station at Manyberries, Alberta, Crested Wheat grass and compared It is also a costly procedure ranging from five to $20 per acre depending on fencing that may be necessary be- cause new seedings have to be pro- tected during their period of estab- lishment. This means that the land is taken out of production for one to two years. Native range, if grazed judictously or rested completely will regain its productivity to the point were it could compete with a range seeding, says Mr. Willis, but this is true only if there are sufficient num- bers of good native perennial grasses to provide the initial impetus for re- habilitation. If these are not present and the land is producing only weedy species then it pays to reseed. Reseeding of ranges in British Col- imbia should be limited to areas large enough to warrant the use of machinery, over 100 acres in extent, or where the seed may be drilled in or otherwise covered; ranges receiv- ing sufficient yearly precipitation to insure a “catch” from the seed or where most good grazing species have ceased to exist, or areas that can and will be protected from grazing dur- ing establishment, and where the rancher intends to practise goud rangé.management.
