card. Permits will not be issued for a number of stock in excess of that upon which 

 the fees have been paid. When the permit is issued, its date will be entered upon 

 the card. When a refund is made, the date of the voucher and the amount refunded 

 will be noted on the card. Upon receipt of notice that the applicant does not intend 

 to pay the fees or aocept the permit, or, when there is reason for not issuing the per- 

 mit after the application has been approved, the case will be closed and the card 

 marked "canceled." The same serial number will not be used in any other case. 

 At the expiration of the current grazing year the card records will be transferred to 

 a closed file. When an application is approved for grazing during a term of years, 

 it will be recorded on Form 256, and the card will be transferred to the current files 

 from year to year until the case is closed. 

 Authority for Issuance of Use Permits 



The changes in routine made by Service Order 28 do not in any way affect the 

 authority of Forest supervisors regarding the issuance of special-use permits. When 

 an application is received for a pasture of more than 320 acres in area, or for any other 

 special use not authorized by the regulations, if the circumstances appear to warrant 

 such action, such application should be referred to the District Forester, with a recom. 

 mendation that its approval be authorized. Upon approval, the permit may be 

 issued in accordance with his instructions. 

 Renewal of Permits to Purchasers of Stock 



In addition to the instructions issued in the Field Program for May, 1909, the follow- 

 ing restriction in the renewal of permits to purchasers of stock will be made: 



No division of grazing privilege will be allowed in the renewal of a permit when the 

 number of stock sold is equal to or less than the protective limit. In case the num- 

 ber of stock sold exceeds the protective limit, a division of the permit among different 

 owners may be allowed, provided that not more than one new owner is allowed 

 a renewal of permit for less than the protective limit number of stock. 

 Form for Waiver of Grazing Privileges 



A new form (No. 763, Waiver of grazing privileges) has been prepared and can be 

 obtained from the Supply Depot at Ogden on requisition. This form is intended for 

 use as a waiver of grazing privileges when stock is sold by a permittee with the under- 

 standing that the purchaser will apply for a permit on them the following year. 

 Time for Notifying a Trespasser- 

 Supervisors are requested to handle grazing-trespass cases in accordance with the 

 instructions in the December Field Program and in the Circular of Instructions 

 Regarding Grazing Trespass, dated May 15, 1909. Many cases are coming in in which 

 the supervisor has fixed the amount of damages assessed and notified the trespasser 

 before the case has been reviewed by the District Forester. 

 General Rule for the Survey of Pastures 



It is not necessary that pastures be surveyed as accurately as administrative sites 

 or Forest homesteads are; but in order to inspect this class of special uses properly, 

 which is required by Service Order No. 28, a fairly accurate description is necessary 

 Wherever possible, this description should be by legal subdivisions, but if this is 

 not practicable, a description by courses and approximate distances, sufficiently 

 accurate to determine the acreage and location, should be given in the permit. It 

 will not be necessary, in the majority of cases, to chain the boundaries, since, for all
