Grazing Uses Are Approved In Revised Forest Rules
Washington March 20 The secretary of agriculture approves a revised form of grazing regulations governing national forest ranges. Key changes include a permanent national advisory board for sheep and cattle interests and a new pricing rule: on forests with equal range quality the year long rate for sheep after 1911 will be 30 percent of the cattle rate.
