138 THE USE BOOK. 



stock than the land will support. If the owner or lessee of 

 uninclosed land does not desire to waive the right of its exclu- 

 sive use, it will be necessary to require that the stock be so 

 handled that the animals will not intrude upon adjoining areas 

 of the National Forest. In such cases, in order to protect the 

 National Forest from trespass or injury, the supervisor should 

 refuse to approve an application for more stock than the land 

 will reasonably support. 



When the private land is fenced so that there is no danger of 

 intrusion by the stock on National Forest lands, then the appli- 

 cation may be approved for a permit allowing such number of 

 stock to be driven across the National Forest as the applicant 

 desires to graze upon his land. When the fenced private land 

 can be reached by a public highway without driving the stock 

 across the National Forest lands, no permit will be required. 



A card record should be made of each case showing the name 

 and address of the applicant, the acreage of the land owned or 

 leased, the number of each kind of stock to be grazed, the time 

 allowed for crossing, and whether or not the right to the ex- 

 clusive use of the land has been waived in exchange for a free 

 permit to graze the stock upon the National Forest. 



The application Form 925, report on the grazing capacity of 

 the land Form 251, and the triplicate copy of the permit Form 

 656 should be filed in a folder under the general title of " Use of 

 Private Lands." The permit in all cases should be written in 

 triplicate, showing the area of the private land, and the original 

 copy sent to the applicant. The duplicate copy will be sent 

 to the Forester immediately after its issuance, and will be con- 

 sidered as a final report in the case. 



CROSSING PERMITS. 



KEG. 66. Persons wishing to drive stock across any part 

 of a National Forest must make application to the super-

 regular grazing application form, for a permit to graze 

 stock en route, and must have a permit from the supervisor,
