Pickens “Many positions are open to men trained in the field of range man agement,” said Dr. 0. E. Sperry, professor in the range and forestry department, in a talk to the Range and Forestry Club Monday night, April 14. “Federal agen<?ies such as the Soil Conservation Service, Forest Service and the Grazing Service as well as the Extension Service, Ex periment Station and other state agencies are badly in need of range managers. It is our desire to train men qualified to fill these posi tions, but of primary importance is the training of men so that they may return to the ranching busi ness themselves and put into prac tice the knowledge they have ac quired,” Dr. Sperry said. ★ Professor R.
