Brush eradication practices and results will also be observed, and some relic areas that have had little grazing and no plowing will be studied. , j'Relic afeas such as these are rare,” Heady said, “and are val uable in determining what plants covered the area before it was griized intensely.” dbunty agents of the various counties visited are assisting Hea dy ]pn the tour.
