To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The supply of high summer range was not nearly sufficient to meet demands. During the summer, live- stock had to be removed from irrigated hay lands and pastures, fall and winter ranges. The lush forage of the mountains, better water supplies, more moderate temperatures and relative free- dom from insect pests, turned feeders into prime meat. Furthermore great fires which had raged, ignored and un- controlled, during earlier decades had opened up vast expanses of formerly virgin timber lands, w...hich were quickly covered with weeds, grasses and shrubby forage, capable of supporting many more livestock than would the normally intermingled treeless meadows, slopes and mesas. Such areas would yield no return from timber for a half-century or more, but they could be utilized by livestock the year following the burn and would yield an in- come year after year. Fees paid for grazing on national forests annually exceeded timber receipts from 1906 to 1910 when each reached about $1, 000, 000; they followed timber closely until mid-1917, and then substantially out-gained timber until mid- 1921, reaching a peak of around $2, 600, 000 in 1919.
