Stumpage Prices to be Quoted only when Authorized 



Owing to several misunderstandings between purchasers of timber and the Forest 

 Service as to the conditions of sale in timber sales, every Forest officer should be 

 careful to avoid giving the prospective purchaser the condit ons of sale before the 

 matter has been taken up with the supervisor or superior officer and a decision 

 reached. The quoting of a stum page price to the applicant without beini author- 

 ized is not only objectionable to the Service but unsatisfactory to the purchaser. 



GRAZING. 



Designation of Special-Use Grazing Cases 



The term "residence" should not be applied to buildings where they are used 

 free in connection with grazing permits, since this is generally used with paid per- 

 mits. Ordinarily the term "cabins" will apply. 



Reference to the Numbers of Regulations 



In their correspondence, some of the supervisors refer to Regulations 58 and 63 

 when Regulation 65 is meant. It is important that all reference to regulations by 

 their numbers should be in accordance with the latest edition of The Use Book. 



Notice of Changes in Stock Associations 



Supervisors should inform the District Forester of any change in the personnel of 

 Advisory Boards or new by-laws or amendments which are adopted by stock asso- 

 ciations whose advisory board is recognized by the Forest Service. With this end 

 in view, supervisors should request the secretaries of such associations to keep them 

 advised of any such changes. 



Designation of Special-Use Permits 



Separate permits must be issued for each specific use of a National Forest, but The 

 Use Book provides that inclosures which contain both pasture and agricultural land 

 may be designated as "pisture" when the amount of agricultural or wild hay lands 

 is les-3 than 40 acres. Failure to comply with this rule has caused much confusion 

 in the offices of the Fiscal Agents, and it is requested that hereafter Forest officers be 

 careful not to use more than one designation for any single case. If the amount of 

 agricultural or wild hay land within a pasture is less than 40 acres, it may be desig- 

 nated as a "pasture," but if the amount exceeds 40 acres it should then be desig- 

 nated as "agricultural" or "hay sale," as the case may be. However, in all ca^es 

 where the area of agricultural land exceeds the area of pasture land the use should 

 be designated as "agricultural." A double designation, such as " Pasture and Agri- 

 cultural," should not be used in any case. Allsuch permits will be returned for 

 correction. 



Cooperation with B. A. I. Inspectors 



It is desired that all Forest officers cooperate to the fullest possible extent with 

 inspectors of the Bureau of Animal Industry in the enforcement of quarantine regu- 

 lations. When it is known that inspection certificates will be required before stock 

 is allowed to enter a National Forest, the supervisor should furnish the Chief Inspector 

 of the Bureau of Animal Industry with a list of the permittees and the dates upon 

 which the stock will be allowed to enter the Forest. No modifications of the quar- 

 antine regulations will be allowed except with the consent of the B. A. I. inspectors. 

 These instructions also apply to cooperation with State inspectors in the enforcement 

 of State quarantine regulations.
