S were initiated by the Wisconsin Agricultural Experiment Station and the Lake States Forest Experiment Station in the spring of ~94o in Richland County, Wis., to measure returns from land utilized for timber production, woods-pasture, and open pasture. Results presented here deal primarily with the open-pasture phase of these cooperative investigations. The principal objectives of this phase of the study have been to measure (a) the productivity of improved (renovated) and comparable untreated (non-renovated) pastures, (b) the seasonal distribution of the production of such pastures, and (c) the duration of the effects of renovation. Results concerning the woods-pasture phase of the study are presented in another paper. ~
