NATIONAL FOREST MANUAL GRAZING. 59 



period of 10, 20, or 30 days, as the case may be, at a specified charge 

 per band of sheep or cattle for the period established. The charge in 

 such cases will be based upon the entire period and no allowance will 

 be made if the range is used for a shorter time. 



It is absolutely essential that persons crossing stock comply with 

 the regulations governing the National Forests and 

 iations antine resu " with the quarantine regulations prescribed by the 

 Secretary of Agriculture and the State authorities. 

 Unless they do so the privilege may be denied them, but the condition 

 of stock as to contagious or infectious diseases will be determined by 

 the proper Federal or State authorities. Compliance being assured, 

 and if the privilege will not expose the National Forest to damage or 

 the regular permittees using it to inconvenience or financial loss, 

 the permit should be issued without delay and with the fewest pos- 

 sible restrictions. 



Before issuing a permit to reach private land, the Forest officer may 

 crossing to private require a written statement of ownership of the land 

 lands - or a copy of the lease thereof. 



If the land is uninclosed and the applicant does not desire to waive 

 the right to its exclusive use, the stock must be so handled that the 

 animals will not intrude upon adjoining Forest areas. In order to 

 protect the Forest from trespass or injury, an application for crossing 

 with more stock than the land will support may be denied. 



When the private land is securely fenced, the permit may be allowed 

 for any number of stock the applicant desires to graze upon his land. 



It is inadvisable to allow unpermitted sheep to cross National 



crossing to dip- Forest lands to be dipped at a yat within the Forest, 



ping vats or shipping unless there is no available dipping vat outside of the 



limits of the Forest, but the Forest Service will not 



Erevent compliance with the Federal or State quarantine requirements 

 y refusing access to a dipping vat so located. The Supervisor wih 1 

 determine for each vat on his Forest whether the circumstances 

 warrant the granting of this privilege, and the restrictions which 

 should govern it and will instruct the rangers accordingly. 



If a shipping point within a National Forest is the only one reason- 

 ably accessible to persons grazing stock outside, the Supervisor may 

 allow crossing privileges under such restrictions as are necessary to 

 protect the interests of regular permittees. 



The regular grazing permit carries with it the right to drive the 



stock over National Forest lands to and from the 



mSted S ranges per " allotted ranges at the beginning and end of the grazing 



season, and from the range to the most accessible 



shearing, dipping, and shipping points during the term of the permit. 



Supervisors should require permittees to secure additional crossing 



permits only when it is clearly evident that the unrestricted privilege 



is detrimental to the Forest or to other permittees.
