Excerpt from Government Forest Work in Utah Forest, in Idaho. Both President Harrison and President proclaimed other reserves in the next few years until some acres had thus been set aside from the public domain in the Western States.

Book Description
Excerpt from Government Forest Work in Utah: March, 1931 An experiment on range where shrubs, principally oak brush, make up approximately 80 per cent of the vegetation, showed that such range should be grazed only to a degree that will permit the 1ncrease and perpetuation Of the more palatable browse species and grasses and weeds of approximately equal palatability, even though these last species make up considerably less than half the total vegetation and even though such grazing results in the nonuse Of the bulk of the less palatable shrubby vegetation. It is important to be able to recognize and correct overgrazing in its early stages. On many summer ranges in Utah the wheat grasses constitute the highest type of vegetation. If this cover is weakened by overgrazing, such plants as yellow brush, lupine, mountain sun flower, sneezeweed, yarrow, sweet sage, and pentstemon take the range and more or less erosion Of the soil takes place. If overgrazing is continued, these perennial weeds sooner or later are replaced by annual plants Of little forage value. Finally even these give way, leaving the area denuded and subject to heavy erosion, and eventually the fertile mountain slope 1s reduced to a barren waste. By learning what plants come in as the desirable type of plants begin to give way, it is possible to recognize overgrazing In its early stages, and to apply remedial measures.

Book Description
Excerpt from Government Forest Work The keynote of National Forest administration is service. The object aimed at is best use of the many resources of the Forests in the interest of the public welfare. From the standpoint of material wealth, the Forests have their greatest importance as sources of supply of wood, water, and range forage. They have also a great and growing value to the country as places of recreation. Not only are 'they Open to all persons for all lawful purposes; the prime object always held in view is to make them more useful to more people. Naturally they are of greatest benefit to the local residents near them and to the States in which they lie; but they are useful also to the whole country in ways that are not always realized.

Book Description
Excerpt from United States Department of the Interior-Forest Conservation Earliest conception of the Government's custodianship of the public domain was that such lands should be converted into cash for defray ing governmental expenses and for extinguishing the public dept. Dis posing of public domain was regarded as a real estate business, a viewpoint that continued until the present century. As a result of a sense of obligation to those who served in the armies during wartime, the public lands were regarded as suitable rewards for veterans: in deed, gifts of lands had been held out as inducements for enlistment into the army. Thus the early policy was dominated by the idea that the new public domain should be disposed of as a source of rev enue and as a substitute for cash to reward soldiers.

Book Description
Scores of talented and dedicated people serve the forensic science community, performing vitally important work. However, they are often constrained by lack of adequate resources, sound policies, and national support. It is clear that change and advancements, both systematic and scientific, are needed in a number of forensic science disciplines to ensure the reliability of work, establish enforceable standards, and promote best practices with consistent application. Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States: A Path Forward provides a detailed plan for addressing these needs and suggests the creation of a new government entity, the National Institute of Forensic Science, to establish and enforce standards within the forensic science community. The benefits of improving and regulating the forensic science disciplines are clear: assisting law enforcement officials, enhancing homeland security, and reducing the risk of wrongful conviction and exoneration. Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States gives a full account of what is needed to advance the forensic science disciplines, including upgrading of systems and organizational structures, better training, widespread adoption of uniform and enforceable best practices, and mandatory certification and accreditation programs. While this book provides an essential call-to-action for congress and policy makers, it also serves as a vital tool for law enforcement agencies, criminal prosecutors and attorneys, and forensic science educators.
