A 1901 Forum article by Earley Vernon Wilcox replying to C. S. Newhall's earlier piece condemning sheep grazing in forest reserves. Drawing on observations in Montana, Idaho and Wyoming, Wilcox argues that sheep rarely graze in timber, do not destroy sod or cause erosion, are not a main cause of forest fires, and that pollution of streams is not unique to sheep. He defends sheep raising as a legitimate industry and suggests grazing might be limited by cooperation with the Government.
