NATIONAL FOREST MANUAL GRAZING. 15 



PRIVATE LANDS. 



Reg. G-7. Persons who own, or who have leased from the owners, 

 unfenced lands within any National Forest which are so situated and 

 of such character that they may be used by other permitted stock to 

 an extent rendering the exchange advantageous to the Government, 

 may secure permits allowing them to graze upon National Forest land, 

 free of charge, the number of stock which the private lands will sup- 

 port, by waiving the right to the exclusive use of the private land 

 and allowing it to remain open to other stock grazed on National 

 Forest land under permit. 



The application must be accompanied by a personal certificate of 

 title showing the description and ownership of the land, and, if leased 

 from an owner, a copy of the lease, and must state the number and 

 kind of stock permit is desired for, the range which it is desired to 

 occupy, and the period during which the stock will remain upon the 

 Forest. Permits will be subject to the same restrictions regarding 

 the use of the range as permits issued under other regulations. 



CROSSING PERMITS. 



Reg. G-8. Persons wishing to drive stock across any portion of 

 a National Forest to reach either public or private lands, except when 

 the stock will be driven along a public highway or will not be grazed 

 upon National Forest lands, must make application to the super- 

 visor or other forest officer for a permit to graze the stock en route 

 and must have a permit from tne supervisor, or such other forest 

 officer as he may designate, before entering the National Forest. 

 The application must state the number of stock to be driven, the date 

 of starting, and period required for passage. Grazing must be con- 

 fined to the limits and along the route designated by the forest 

 officers, and will only be allowed for the period necessary for stock to 

 cross the National Forest. 



FEES. 



Reg. G-9. A reasonable fee will be charged for grazing all kinds 

 of live stock on National Forests, except as otherwise provided in 

 these regulations. The rates will be based upon the yearlong rate 

 for cattle, which will be from 35 to 60 cents per head, depending upon 

 the advantage and the locality of the Forest. 



The yearlong rates for horses will be from 25 to 40 per cent more, 

 and the yearlong rates for swine from 25 to 40 per cent less than the 

 rate for cattle. On Forests where the quality of range and advan- 

 tages for grazing cattle and sheep or goats are equal, the yearlong 

 rate for sheep and goats will be 30 per cent of the yearlong rate for 

 cattle, but where the above-mentioned conditions warrant it, this 

 percentage may be departed from and the yearlong rates for sheep 

 and goats fixed within the following limits: From 10 to 12 cents on 

 Forests where the rate for cattle is 35 cents; from 12 to 14 cents 

 on Forests where the rate for cattle is 40 cents; from 12 to 15 cents on 

 Forests where the rate for cattle is 45 cents; from 14 to 16 cents on 

 Forests where the rate for cattle is 50 cents; from 15 to 18 cents on 

 Forests where the rate for cattle is 60 cents.
