OFFICE OF EXTENSION. 



Report on Ranger Nurseries 



Superyisors should give prompt attention to returning Form 991 to the For- 

 ester accompanied by answer to circular letter SB of September 17. It is 

 exceedingly important to have a complete record in regard to this work, and if 

 supervisors have the data already at hand for filling out Form 991 they should 

 send in their reports at once. 



BRANCH OF GRAZING. 



Annual Reports 



The attention of supervisors is called to the importance of making their 

 reports on grazing immediately at the close of the summer grazing period, in 

 order that the Secretary of Agriculture may authorize grazing for the season 

 of 1908, and that information regarding grazing allowances, periods, and fees 

 may be given to the public at the earliest possible date. All reports should be 

 mailed to the Forester not later than December 1. 



It is desired that all supervisors include in their reports a recommendation 

 regarding the protective (Class A) limit and the maximum limit mentioned 

 in the general information under Regulation 40. The protective limit should be 

 such a number of stock as small owners need to graze in connection with their 

 ranches to insure the successful establishment of homes, and such a number as 

 new settlers should be allowed a permit for. The maximum limit should be 

 from 4 to 10 times as large as the protective limit, according to local conditions, 

 and may be established with the understanding that persons now holding per- 

 mits for more than the limit may be allowed renewal for the number of stock 

 they are entitled to graze, but that no person, partnership, or corporation shall 

 be allowed to increase their permit above the maximum limit in the future.
