RANGE MANAGEMENT ON THE NATIONAL FORESTS. 47 



to graze at large upon the range, and the issuance of grazing permits will be 

 withheld in all cases and the stock denied admittance to the Forest until the 

 pro rata assessment levied by the association for the above-mentioned purposes 

 during any one year is paid into the treasury of the association. This rule 

 will remain in full force and effect so long as the membership of the association 

 represents a majority of those holding permits to graze cattle and horses on the 

 Willow Creek division of district 6 of the Fishlake Forest. 



On or before the final date set for the receipt of grazing applications each 

 year the association will furnish the supervisor with an estimate of the amount 

 of money required for the purposes above mentioned. When permit allotments 

 have been made for the season the supervisor will advise the secretary of the 

 association of the names and addresses of the permittees, the number of stock 

 which each will be allowed to graze upon the Forest, and the per capita assess- 

 ment which may be levied by the association. This will be determined by 

 dividing the total amount of money to be collected by the grazing allotment of 

 the division. Upon receipt of the assessment the treasurer or secretary of the 

 association will notify the forest supervisor that payment has been made, so 

 that permit may be issued. 1 



GROUP 2. PRIMARILY OF BENEFIT TO STOCKMEN. 



1. Beginning with the grazing season of 1917 all permittees authorized to 

 graze cattle on that portion of district 6, Cache National Forest, represented by 

 the Cattle and Horse Growers' Association of district 6, must place on the range 

 with their cattle one registered pure-bred bull of some recognized beef breed for 

 each 25 head of female breeding cattle or fraction thereof, provided permittees 

 grazing less than 25 head of female cattle of breeding age may arrange for 

 joint ownership of bull which shall not represent more than 25 head of breed- 

 ing cattle: Provided further, That in lieu of such bull a permittee may deposit 

 $2.50 per head for each female breeding animal one year of age or over, as his 

 service fee, to be paid into the treasury of the association, the association assum- 

 ing responsibility of furnishing the necessary bulls to meet such cases. 



2. Breeding age of female cattle, as contemplated by Rule 1, will include 

 all female cattle one year old or over. 



3. In order to secure more uniform-aged calves no bull shall be turned on the

 furnish one pure-bred bull of beef breed, not less than 15 months of age or 

 more than 8 years, for each 25 head or fraction thereof of female breeding 

 cattle permitted to run on such range. No person shall permit any bull to 

 run on the same range at any other time than during three successive breeding 

 seasons ; provided the term "female breeding cattle " shall not apply to female 

 cattle under 12 months of age, and provided that two or more persons may join 

 together in furnishing such bull when the aggregate number of female breed- 

 ing cattle turned loose upon the same range by any two or more persons does 

 not exceed a number of 25 head. 



Any person failing to comply with this rule shall be liable to have his appli- 

 cation disapproved the following season. All bulls shall be inspected and
