ing the vegetatipn on those'ar-eas. Oneof the most valuable 'species of 
deer feed on the Kaibab is the wild lQcudt, which is found 'throughout 
the timber belt. Practically a T7_5 T5cust within reach of the deer 
has boon killed, all that is left being a few tops of bushes too highi 
for the deer to reach.  k      reproduction is almost totally 'lacking, 
there being .only v4thin thJ height that a deer can browse. Acres and 
acres of cliff roso, which constitutes the greator part of the deer 
feed, are-absol-uTey ieplted. Oak and whit, and Douglas fir are also 
eaten by the deer and browsed down to a                 while yellow 
pine raproduction is evidently as palatable as the white fir or cliff 
Fo5a. Even )n the cattle range the browse has been badly overgrazed, 
although the cattle have been greatly reduced and there are now only 
about 2600 head on the Obrest.  Ordinarily one rould weu4A suppose 
that there would be no conflict between the cattle and deer and that 
there should ba no reason for a further reduction in the cattle. But 
It he difficulty lies in the fact that the heavily concentrated areas 
on which the deer browse are also the areas favored by cattle, tha 
principal winter range for the deer is also the principal winter 
range for the cattle, and the principal winter feed for both classes 
of stock is the same. Tha District is now working out plans by which 
it can better control the cattle situation, and I r. Rachford said he is
