CANFIELD Southwestern Forest and Range Experiment Station Many investigators have used the clipping method to obtain data repre­ senting the effects of varying intensities of harvesting grasses and other herbaceous vegetation. The work of Sarvis ('23), Sampson and Malmsten (' 26), and Aldous (' 30) on range grasses ; Ellett and Carrier ('IS), Graber, et al ('27), and Stapledon and Milton ('30) on crop and pasture plants; and Harrison ('3I) on the maintenance of turf on golf courses; illustrate the breadth of the field in which the method has been used. In range research, the yield and vigor of grasses under varying degrees of use have been the principal data desired to supplement actual grazing experiments. Many tests have shown the effects of various treatments upon the quality of the vegetation and also upon plant succession. METHODS OF CLIPPING Clipping studies usually are established with a series of meter square or similarly sized quadrats with one or more forage species represented, and clipped uniformly at heights varying from I to 4 inches, and at intervals from every week to one cutting at the end of the growing season. The clipped
