might have been entitled to graze, but is granted with 

 the understanding that in subsequent permit allotments 

 the purchaser will be considered solely upon the merits 

 of his case. 



The mere purchase of a portion of the stock which has 

 been grazed under a permit upon the National Forest 

 will not entitle the purchaser to share in the grazing 

 during the following year, but when the entire herd of 

 stock, or both the stock and the ranches used in con- 

 nection with it, are purchased, then an equitable share 

 of the grazing will be allowed the new owner. The 

 preference given on account of prior use of the range 

 is a personal privilege and is not transferable. All 

 grazing permits issued on account of the purchase of 

 stock will be subject to the maximum limit restrictions 

 after the expiration of the ensuing permit period, and 

 no person, partnership, or corporation will be allowed 

 a renewal o permit for stock purchased, on a number 

 in excess of the maximum limiLestablished by the For- 

 ester. 



Permits allowing the purchaser of stock to continue grazing 

 it on a National Forest will be given a new number in the reg- 

 ular serial order. In cases where only a portion of the stock 

 is sold, or when a portion of the grazing fees paid is transferred 

 to the credit of another person or of a permit on another Forest, 

 a new permit bearing the same serial number as the first per- 

 mit will be issued to the original owner for the number of 

 stock retained by him.
