| Abstract | Range utilization is essential to the welfare of the West and of the United States as a whole. The western range territory provides one-third of the cattle and calves, two-thirds of the sheep, and three-fourths of the wool and mohair grown in the United States. These livestock products are important even in ordinary times. They are indispensable during war. Because of the huge armed force, millions of war workers at strenuous toil, and lend-lease aid to the Allies, the country each year is using double its domestic wool production, and civilian meat consumption has been cut by more than one-third in order to balance consumption with supply. |
