Salt sleds trialed to distribute stock salt on ranges
Experiments using salt sleds on range land show promise, said Whitney Floyd AT Utah State. The CCC built 25 sleds from lodgepole pine for the Bighorn NF, about 18 by 30 inches with 6 inch runners and 4 inch cross supports. Sleds moved to renew salt to reduce stamp grounds, improve range, and cut salt waste. Floyd says the practice holds good potential for stockmen to salt summer ranges, though not yet common. Miss Glenna Mickelson leaves for Sun Valley Idaho to work for Union Pacific lodge.
