June 21, 1935 cont.
Visited Santa Rita range reserve and was supprised to find a cactus patch filled with Mesquite. Looked badly overgrazed. The rodent & stock enclosures showed good grass cover - partly annual & partly perennial
The stock enclosure (allowing rodent activity was intermediate showing about 60% vegetative cover where rodents grazed. Plots in 15 years. Suggested Taylor work up his dope & send it in. Burrs weed taking range. Saw Culley-Pierson & Dr. Humphries. Felt there were some personel difficulties in Forest Service organization itself & that Taylor was not entirely to blame. Skinned birds in evening while visiting with Harry Bigglestone & his wife Ruth Reiche of old college days.
