May Lease for Five Years. 



State lands not sold may be leased for a period not exceeding five years, and 

 the purchaser of state land upon which a lessee has improvements must pay the 

 lessee a reasonable value therefor. If the lessee and the purchaser cannot agree 

 on the value of the improvements, the State Land Agent fixes the price the 



purchaser must pay for the same. Lessees of state land are required to pay a 

 rental for grazing use of $50.00 to $100.00 per section per annum and for agri- 

 cultural use from $150.00 to $320 per section per annum.
