Relief measures ease grazing fee payments in national forests
The secretary of agriculture with forest service support waives the 30 day advance fee rule for grazing on national forest ranges. Stockmen may pay in two installments with initial payment before entry and final by December 1, 1922, no interest on deferred amount. Nonpayment risks revocation of grazing rights and legal action to recover forage value. In 1921 about 38,000 livestock owners grazed over 2.1 million cattle and horses and 7.46 million sheep and goats largely in western forests.
