GRAZING. 41 



NO REDUCTION BECAUSE OF PARTIAL USE. 



No reduction in grazing fee will he made when the stock do not graze upon 

 the National Forest during the entire ]>eriod allowed, nor will an increased 

 number of stock be allowed to enter the Forest for this reason. 



ADDITIONAL TIME ALLOWANCE. 



The supervisor may allow stock to enter nor more than 15 days in advance 

 of the date fixed for the beginning of a grazing period, or allow them to remain 

 15 days after the expiration, without additional charge, when the needs of the 

 people demand such action and the condition of the range warrants. 



EXTENSION OE PERMITS. 



If suitable range is available within the National Forest grazing permits for 

 short periods may be extended and made effective for any of the longer periods 

 established for the Forest upon payment of the difference between the rates 

 established for the two periods. The fee representing the difference between 

 the two rates must be paid not only upon stock covered by the original permit 

 which are to be grazed during the extended period, but also upon all additional 

 animals which have reached the age of 6 months during the original permit 

 period. 



GRAZING FEES PAYABLE IN ADVANCE. 



REGULATION G-10. All grazing fees are payable in advance. When an. 

 applicant for a grazing permit is notified by the supervisor that his application 

 has been approved, he will remit the amount due for grazing fees to the District 

 United States Depository, and upon receipt of notice by the supervisor that 

 payment has been made, a permit will be issued allowing the stock to enter the 

 Forest and remain during the period specified. 



Persons who fail to pay the grazing fee before the beginning of the grazing 

 period must notify the supervisor and give satisfactory reasons, or within the 

 discretion of the supervisor may be denied a grazing permit the following 

 season. (Issued April 25. 1913. to take effect May 1, 1913.) 



The approval of an application to graze stock on Forest land does not author- 

 ize the grazing of the stock. Persons who place stock upon a National Forest 

 before they have paid the grazing fees due and secure,! a i>ermit are guilty of 

 grazing trespass, thereby becoming subject to a demand for damages, or, in 

 aggravated cases, to civil or criminal action. 



REFUNDS. 



REGULATION G-ll. Grazing fees will not be refunded for nonuse of the 

 permit, except when, in the opinion of the district forester, the applicant is 

 prevented from using the range by circumstances over which he has no control, 

 or his range is trespassed upon, or renewal of permit is allowed to a purchaser 

 of the stock. (Issued April 25. 1913. to take effect May 1. 1913.) 



Excess payments. 



Whenever payment in excess of the amount due is made, the amount over- 

 paid will be refunded. Applications for the refund of moneys in excess of the 

 amount due must be accompanied by a copy of the grazing permit issued, 

 showing the amount received and the number of stock and grazing period cov- 

 ered by the permit. 



Grounds for refund. 



Applications for the refund of money paid on account of a grazing permit 

 must be accompanied n y ^ statement giving the reasons for not using the 

 permit. This may be either the written statement of the permittees or a report 

 by a Poorest officer who has looked up the case.
