Grazing Fees Stay At Present Level Across Forest Lands
Missoula reports grazing fees on national forest lands remain unchanged instead of a planned increase for 1924. Colonel W B Greeley cites wartime freight burdens and drought damaging livestock economics as reasons to keep rates. In 1922 district No 1 hosted over a million head of stock and sheep, yielding about $200 000 in fees.

Story of Montana's Sheep Industry
The narrative recounts Montana's sheep history from 1857 when 12 sheep entered Bitterroot Valley to 1922, detailing population booms, railroad impact, wool production, and shifts in flock size. It notes early arrivals, 19th century growth to over 5 million sheep by 1904, later declines after 1919, and regional competition with New Mexico and Wyoming.

Split Payments for Grazing Privileges Authorized
For the 1923 grazing season the secretary of agriculture approved split payments for all grazing permits in national forests eight months or more with fees over $10. Half due 30 days in advance and half by December 1. shorter seasons require full payment 30 days in advance. This temporary policy tests acceptance before a permanent change, with prompt final payments avoiding a return to the old 30 day advance rule.
