BRANCH OF GRAZING. 



All business in connection with the issuance of special-use permits for drift 

 fences, pastures, etc., and hay sales has been transferred from the section of 

 special uses, Branch of Operation, to the section of fences, Branch of Grazing, 

 in which all such special-use business will hereafter be handled. 



Vaccine from Bureau of Animal Industry 



The Bureau of Animal Industry has agreed to recognize all applications for 

 vaccine presented by stock owners grazing stock within the National Forests. 

 Applications should be made through the supervisor, stating the disease to be 

 treated, and the number of stock to which the treatment is to be given. Upon 

 receipt of an application the supervisor will see that it is in proper form, and 

 not unreasonable, after which he should approve it, and forward it to the 

 Bureau of Animal Industry, Washington, D. C. Supervisors are requested to 

 give ample publicity to this fact and to advance the work of the Bureau of 

 Animal Industry in its efforts to reduce stock diseases as much as possible by a 

 proper distribution of the vaccine. 



BRANCH OF OPERATION. 



OFFICE OF MAINTENANCE. 



Shipping Points 



Considerable difficulty has been experienced by supervisors whose headquar- 

 ters are at places remote from the railroad in the receipt of freight and express 

 shipments. This could largely be avoided if the officers would notify the 

 property clerk of shipping points more convenient to them than those to which 

 goods have been shipped in the past.
