 TONS AGREED ON
(Erom Wednesdays Daily.)

After a meeting between the ad- visory board of the Yavapai Cattle Growers Association and Forest Su- pervisor C. H. Hinderer. at which the question of the rights Of permittees on the national forest were discussed, the executive committee of the or ganization yesterday ad6pted a set Of regulations which were approved by both the representatives of the gov ernment and the board of the associa- ton.
 The advisory board, consisting of Chairman F. A. Reid and members R. E. Perkins, J. K. Campbell, A. J. Diamond and ]. w. Stewart, besides about 30 other members of the organ izatfon, met in the forest supervisors office last Monday night to discuss and pass upon certain regulations af- fecting permittees on the Prescott National Forest.
 The meeting was a most interest ing and enthusiastic one with an amic' able interchange of ideas between the cattlemen and forestry officials.
 After the discussion of the matter and after certain points and ques- tions arising had been settled the regulations were submitted by the board to the executive committee which met at County Assessor Gen try's office yesterday, and which adopted the regulations.
 One of the most acute matters un- der discussion was that referring to the maximum and minimum number of cattle to be allowed grazing priv ileges on the local forest reserves and also the question of what consti- tutes a valid range holding or i'm provement to enable beginners to ob- tain a permit.
 The executive committee in adopt ing another resolution requested that several members of the advisory board in their several different graz ing districts make recommendation in connection with this matter after obtaining from other members of the association and cattle men generally in their districts, their ideas relative to the question. Those appointed for the different districts were F. A. Reid, of Seligman, in district No. l, Frank Condron, of Wagoner, in district No. 2, o. A. Lang, of Prescott, in district No. 5, William Cordes, of Turkey, in district No. 4, R. E. Perkins, of Pun tenney, in district No. 5, A. J. Dia- mond. of Camp Verde. in district No. 6. and w. w Cook, of Phoenix, in district No. /.
 Another resolution passed at the meeting of the executive committee was to the effect that the forest Of ficials be requested to present to the proser officers of the association the annual reports of the local ranger rep resentatives as to the general forage conditions in their respective juris' dictions and their recommendations as to the future carrying capacity ot the same in order that the association and its members might appear be- fore the forest supervisor and concur or object to the same. Those on the executive committee are Chairman F. A. Reid. NJ. A. Perkins, C. H. Hooker, L. Harmon, Granville Fain and J. K. L. Harmon, Granville Fain and K. K. Campbell.
 The principal points in the regula- tions are as follows:
 l. That the permittees are in formed as to the boundaries of the allotments by both by describing in their annual grazing permit the ap- proximate sections and also by local descriptions of land marks. That the grazing permittee can easily ascer- tain the boundaries of his allotment from this description. That the graz ing permittee has been informed that the supervisors office will welcome any complaint relative to this allot- ment when the allotment does not seem to be in accordance with his grazing equity or best suited to his needs.
 2 That in working out the range control system drift stock found upon other allotments must be en- tirely removed during the rodeo or COW work to a point well within the allotment assigned to their use or to their home ranch, and every effort made to locate this drift stock upon their own allotment by such means as are at the disposal of the stock men.
 3. The final disposal either by sale or location upon their own allot- ment of such stock has been actually located off the allotment assigned to
