Koford Cynomy s ludovitianus August 26, 1956. Nr. Sharon, Barber G., Kan. in the 1A area (not all of it in view); another dug for food. By 7:10 I counted up to 37. Belt of Euphobia mong. avoided, but several at edge bottom where Bda grew. At least 3 seen to stand & apparently eat at seed pods on Sol. rostratum. One building, 1 Euph. in this small area (7:15 a.m.). I set 3 still traps this area 10 a.m. + Tooth one # (139) about 12:45 p.m. // Smith says he has seen no Spotty to here the Mr. Amade says: they were here before (soon reprod. last yr?). Smith also says he has seen C.l. catch grasshoppers. // One area on 5% N. slope seemed to be fairly new occupancy (inhabited in June). About 50 yd. diam. area has grass cut short, but taller in surrounding zone. Within area about 75% cover estimated; of this, fescue 5%, Bgr 80%, Bda 5%, Andropogon 5%, Aristida 5%, T. Baut. curt. (= about 40% by SCS credit class ratings; CFT est.). (Grass Aristida, Sol. rostr., Bgr, Bda) This area separated by 20 yd. wide belt taller grasses, then another area short cut grass 30 yds. wide, & a similar roundish area adjacent. It would appear that clove from these 3 areas did not intermix much. Smith believes now in both 2 areas June, as perhaps little modified silt. // At Medicine Lodge visited S.C.S. office and Denzil J. McRae. He said this region had tall, mid, & short grass near Mr. Amade, had best example, 100% range condition. Drought had killed much Bda in SW Kansas. Succession: weeds first, then Aristida, then bluebent (hints?), then buffalos grass (20 yrs. after land abandoned). Bda long in coming as not resed quickly like taller grasses. High price cattle had brought on year round range use & overutilization. He thought educators in range conservation much needed.
