NATIONAL FOREST MANUAL GRAZING. 9 



FEES. 



Reg. G-4. A reasonable fee will be charged for grazing all kinds of 

 live stock on National Forests, except as otherwise provided in these 

 Regulations. The rates will be based upon the yearlong rate for 

 cattle which will be from 35 to 60 cents per head, depending upon the 

 advantages and the locality of the Forest. 



The yearlong rates for horses will be from 25 to 40 per cent more, 

 and the yearlong rates for swine from 25 to 40 per cent less than the 

 rate for cattle. On Forests where the quality of range and advantages 

 for grazing cattle and sheep or goats are equal, the yearlong rate for 

 sheep and goats will be 30 per cent of the yearlong rate for cattle, but 

 where the above-mentioned conditions warrant it, this percentage 

 may be departed from and the yearlong rates for sheep and goats 

 fixed within the following limits: From 10 to 12 cents on Forests 

 where the rate for cattle is 35 cents; from 12 to 14 cents on For- 

 ests where the rate for cattle is 40 cents; from 12 to 15 cents on Forests 

 where the rate for cattle is 45 cents; from 14 to 16 cents on For- 

 ests where the rate for cattle is 50 cents; from 15 to 18 cents on 

 Forests where the rate for cattle is 60 cents. 



The rates for all kinds of stock for periods shorter than yearlong 

 will be based upon a charge of one-ninth of the annual rate per month 

 for periods of less than four months or periods beginning between 

 July 15 and October 15, or of one-tenth of the annual rate per month 

 for periods of four months or over beginning between October 16 and 

 July 14, provided that the rates on sheep, goats, and swine shall not 

 be divided into fractional amounts of less than one-fourth of 1 cent, 

 and the rates on cattle and horses shall not be divided into fractional 

 amounts of less than 1 cent ; and provided that the minimum rate for 

 any short period shall not be less than 20 cents per head on cattle, 25 

 cents per head on horses, 12 cents per head on swine, or 5 cents per 

 head on sheep or goats. An extra charge of 2 cents per head will be 

 made for sheep or goats which are allowed to enter the National 

 Forests for the purpose of lambing or kidding. No charge will be 

 made for animals under 6 months of age at the time of entering the 

 Forest, which are the natural increase of stock upon which fees are 

 paid or for those born during the season for which the permit is allowed : 

 Provided, however, That the grazing fees in force at the date of these 

 Regulations shall continue in effept for all permits issued prior to and 

 including December 31, 1911. 



PAYMENTS AND PERMITS. 



Reg. G-5. All grazing fees are payable in advance. When an 

 applicant for a grazing permit is notified by the Supervisor that his 

 application has been approved, he will remit the amount due for 

 grazing fees to the District United States Depository, and upon 

 receipt of notice by the Supervisor that payment has been made, a 

 permit will be issued allowing the stock to enter the Forest and 

 remain during the period specified. 



Persons who fail to pay the grazing fee before the beginning of the 

 grazing period must notify the Supervisor and give satisfactory 

 reasons, or within the discretion of the Supervisor may be denied a 

 grazing permit the following season.
