Cynomys ludovicianus
September 2, 1955
Nr. Cache, Okla.
Carey (filifolia?). Then vervain gone when much Bgrs instead
of Bda, & Asa again common. Then talla grasses: Euphorbia
asper, Asa, Sorgentrum, Panicum virgatum. Table made offist
10 plants encountered on line after each 10' mark. Tufts counted as
(single plant). Plants within 5' each side line noted. ½" angleiron
stake 2' high put at each end line. Little Aristida found; no
gration? Believed due to C.L. rather than to grazing. No signs
of bunnaws encountered except occasional shrub area in area B,
& vegetation not different there (slightly more vigorous?). At 8 p.m.
of area A, several wallawin; apparently buffalo congregating
spot. Line 3 not run as W. and close to overflowing water
through, which would affect vegetation.
Nr. Canadian, Texas
(Hempmill Co.)
September 3, 1955. A town of about 10 acres on gentle slope
in "tight" soil among low sandhills (sand dropped, sand bluestem,
Atriumis millif.). Soil fine sand with little or no apparent
cloy. A so muddy bottomland pond in central area. Town
crosses barbed wire fence to grazed pasture adjacent. (Here
much more grass, especially Bda, Bgrs, than on reservation;
dogs pursued on this adjacent private land & few dogs
present). Town has Amaranthius (greeneanus?) dominant,
covering all C.L. area with large spreading plants
of very little grass (3% or less). Amaranthus retro-
florus 3' tall on bordering slopes is heavily cut, evidently
by C.L., to height of sectioner. She saw areas Conchum pauciflorum
(sand lund) 8" tall also much cut below holes, &
lying on ground near foot slopes. Other grasses present are:
Amar. litutider, Verb. Bract., Liat. pemet., Euphorbia [illegible]
