with State authorities in such enforcement from a matter 
of incidental good will to one of direct duty. A more 
radical change in community sentiment must be wrought 
to give thorough-going game-law enforcement the backing 
that is now accorded fire-protective measures; but a clear 
understanding and impartial enforcement of the service 
policy by every forest officer will go a long way toward 
securing the.desired result. 
GRAZING. 
Enforcement of grazing regulations has suffered in 
many cases from the same hesitancy in respect to com¬ 
munity good will which affected fire-law enforcement prior 
to the push on the latter in 1918. Stockmen prefer a 
ranger who is able to give them proper protection and also 
to make them live up to the requirements of their permits. 
The fearless and impartial enforcement of grazing regula¬ 
tions may be expected to bring gains in community esteem 
and confidence in the ability of forest officers to administer 
the forests that will be comparable to the advantages 
which are resulting from fire-law enforcement. 
Grazing enforcement must bear upon cattle straying 
over allotment boundaries as well as upon sheep, and 
must not overlook violations of the requirements of cattle- 
salting and sheep-bedding permits. Much of this work 
is purely administrative and will not come to the law- 
enforcement investigator. But when grazing trespass is 
consistently gone after by all forest officers, many unre¬ 
ported cases will probably develop, which may require 
investigative work. Investigators of grazing trespass must 
be particularly careful to obtain exact and, if possible, 
first-hand facts with respect to numbers and ownership of 
stock in trespass, exact location with respect to boundaries 
of national forest land, exact terms of permit violated (if 
any), and all other essential points. 
OTHER TRESPASSES. 
Timber, occupancy, property, and other trespasses on 
the national forests may require law-enforcement investi-
