Koford 199 Cynomy s lodovicianus August 31, 1955 Nr. Cache, Okla. about 1948 when he first saw it (no C.L.). Very short grouping of Age + other apparent spots of soil square feet (Matthews says this common with stock; return again & again to grazed spot + bars up tall tufts nearby. On this area J.M. says Andropogon. has increased greatly since 1948. He believes, given time + light grazing, all of this bottom could go to grass. In bottom near center of Area A (calm, alls aitile), a dense patch several square yards of Panicum obtusum. Some Tridens (allenean?) also present. In general, J.M. says that more deterioration this year than for a long time, even in some good pastures, without as cattle food. He also says that denudation by grazing is rare. Area usually goes to Bda. Bottoms deer areas with heavy grazing. We looked at area of Baker Mtn. Town. Mostly Area A, but considerable Area now, & greatly better than Brea Mtn. Town area we thought. Probably neither yet a "good" pasture condition by SCS rating (soil in bottom of Brea Mtn. is deep sandy loam). J.M. knew of no slope except cliff. in range vegetation here. We looked over "official" town. Common prostrate forb here is sensitive briar (fair mosquito-like drop). Much dead Plantago sisiflorum or W. slope, & little Aristida; some Schizachyrium; patchy Area; many potter Opuntia (possibly C.L. wills fruiteralis this spn). Many large grasshoppers are (3" wrigglers). J.M. estimated that adjacent diluvian pasture to N. of NW part colony + upslope to E. of it as a "high good," with spots "excellent". He said this had always been Aristida on S. slope of main part colony. Sphacel- ariae found but rare. Saw C.L. eat tip of Bda. stolon. In bottom of fish digging (3") found stub of root 1/8" drain, smooth surface, thin tan skin. J.M. then showed me town about 600 yds long & 200-300 wide in mosquito grave bordering alkali flat, 4 mi. S. of Cache (NW of road corner), at SE end, ground slight slope & a potter of 100+ yds. where Spri [no = ?] Sphacelariae dominant (= Sai). This Matthew said was on
