Reduction in Rates for Sheep Grazing on Weavnha Reserve
Sheepowsers will pay lower grazing rates for the 1909 season on the Weavnha reserve. Gifford Pinchot and A F P Potter announce a 10 to 15 percent cut in national forest grazing fees, inspired by weaker wool and mutton markets. The change preserves minimum charges and local special rates, reflecting market conditions and forest impact considerations.
