Timber Cut and Sold 



The attention of supervisors is again called to the rule that when submitting, on 

 Form 949, the monthly report of timber cut and sold, the scale of converting factors 

 which has been furnished should be used, and the totals should always be expressed 

 in the denominations called for. Failure on the part of any supervisor to forward 

 the report promptly delays the report to the Forester, and must be avoided. 



GRAZING 



Uniform Schedule of Grazing Fees- 

 Hereafter all rates for grazing fees on the National Forests will be based upon the 

 yearlong rate for cattle. 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 cat- 

 tle. The yearlong rates for sheep and goats will be as follows: 



From 10 to 12 cents on Forests where the rate for cattle is 35 cents. 



From 12 to 14 cents on Forests 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 Forests 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 monthly charge of one-tenth of the annual rate per month for periods of four months 

 or over, with 20 per cent added for periods of less than four months, or periods begin- 

 ning between July 15 and October 15, and provided that the minimum rate for any 

 short period will 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 permit is allowed, provided that at the end of the summer season 

 the number of animals over 6 months of age to be grazed during the winter season 

 does not exceed the number covered by yearlong permit. Supplemental permits 

 for the excess number of stock may be issued whenever this would not result In 

 injury to the Forest.
