54 THE USE BOOK. 



If the stock is sold to a second purchaser during the year in which a full 

 renewal is allowed the regular reduction will be made in the renewal of the 

 permit during the following season. 



PERMITS TO NEW OWNERS. 



REGULATION G-19. Grazing applications, other than for renewal of permit, 

 will not be approved if the average number of stock per permit upon the 

 Forest or upon the grazing district where the stock are to be grazed is more 

 than 20 per cent below the established protective limit number, or if the ap- 

 proval of such applications requires a total reduction upon any permit of the 

 preceding year of more than 10 per cent in the permit of an owner of improved 

 ranch property commensurate with the permitted stock, or more than 20 per 

 cent in the permit of a person not owning such property. If a Forest or a 

 grazing district is fully stocked the total number of stock to be distributed 

 among new applicants and permittees below the protective limit during any one 

 year must not exceed 3 per cent of the total number authorized for the year, and 

 no new permit will be issued for more than one-half of the protective limit 

 number; or, if the average number of stock per permit is less than the protec- 

 tive limit established for the Forest or the grazing district, no new permit will 

 be issued for more than one-fourth of the protective limit number, nor will 

 such permit be issued except for stock which will be fed during the winter 

 from the products of the permittee's ranch. 



Upon fully stocked Forests or grazing districts applications other than for 

 renewal of permit will not be considered unless filed with the supervisor six 

 months before the beginning of the grazing season. 



Persons who have sold their stock grazed under permit and signed a waiver 

 to their preference will not be recognized as new applicants for a period of 

 three years from the date of the waiver, except as purchasers of permitted 

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



Filed six months in advance. 



Applications from new settlers or beginners for grazing privileges on 

 Forests or grazing districts which are fully occupied will not be considered 

 unless filed with the supervisor at least six months before the beginning of 

 the yearlong grazing season. 



Number of stock allowed. 



When the range is fully occupied the total number of stock allowed begin- 

 ners in any one year will not exceed 3 per cent of the total allowance for the 

 Forest or grazing district. 



Beginners will not be given permits when to do so would involve a reduction 

 in the renewal of any permit issued for the previous year which, when combined 

 with all reductions for other purposes, will in any one year be greater than 10 

 per cent of the permit of an owner of improved ranch property commensurate 

 with the permitted stock, or 20 per cent of the permit of a person not owning 

 such property. 



Class B beginners. 



The applications of beginners who are in Class B may be approved for the 

 number of stock allowed other beginners when there is surplus range, and the 

 issuance of a permit will not entail a reduction upon occupants of the range 

 or debar Class A applicants. 



When not allowed. 



New applicants will not be granted permits to graze stock within any For- 

 est or part thereof where the average number of stock per permit is less than 

 80 per cent of the protective limit number. Where this condition exists the fur- 

 ther division of grazing privileges among a larger number of persons is a hard- 

 ship upon persons already holding permits and detrimental, rather than bene- 

 ficial, in its effect upon the local welfare. 



When restricted to one-fourth of protective limit. 



Upon Forests or parts thereof where the average number of stock is between 

 80 and 100 per cent of the protective limit number, none but Class A new ap- 

 plicants will receive favorable consideration. The number of stock the new 

 applicant will be allowed to graze during the first year will be not more than 

 one-fourth of the protective limit number ; permit will be issued only for stock
