NATIONAL FOREST MANUAL GRAZING. 43 



When the private land is securely fenced, the permit may be 

 allowed for any number of stock the applicant desires to graze upon 

 his land. 

 Crossing to Dipping Vats. 



It is inadvisable to allow unpermitted sheep to cross National 

 Forest lands to be dipped at a vat within the Forest, unless there 

 is no available dipping vat outside of the limits of the Forest, but 

 the Forest Service will not prevent compliance with the Federal or 

 State quarantine requirements by refusing access to a dipping vat 

 so located. The Supervisor will determine for each vat on his 

 Forest whether the circumstances warrant the granting of this 

 privilege, and the restrictions which should govern it and will instruct 

 the rangers accordingly. 

 Crossing to Shipping Points. 



If a shipping point within a National Forest is the only one reason- 

 ably accessible to persons grazing stock outside, the supervisor may 

 allow crossing privileges under such restrictions as are necessary to 

 protect the interests of regular permittees. 

 Applications. 



Applications for crossing permits may be made either in person 

 or by letter, and the permits issued to either the owner or person in 

 charge of the stock. 

 Permits. 



Crossing permits will be issued in triplicate (Form 874-17), one 

 copy delivered to the applicant, one copy retained by the issuing 

 officer, and one copy sent the supervisor. 



Interforest Permits. 



When stock is to be driven across more than one Forest, it should 

 not be allowed to enter the first Forest until crossing permits have 

 been obtained for the others. 



However, where customary routes of travel or stock driveways 

 cross two or more adjoining Forests, interforest crossing permits 

 may be issued under an agreement between the Supervisors. The 

 permit will be issued on the Forest which the stock first enter, and 

 will grant the privilege of crossing all of the Forest land traversed 

 by the driveway. Copies of interforest crossing permits will be 

 forwarded to all supervisors concerned. 

 Period Effective. 



The dates between which the permit may be used should include 

 a period sufficient to provide against unavoidable delay. To illus- 

 trate, where the time required to cross a Forest is 4 days, the permit 

 may be made effective for 15 days, with a proviso that not more 

 than 4 days will be used in crossing.
