 OF CATTLE PERMITS
 IN FOREST RESERVE

Tn'avorable financial conditions during the pas, spring prevented many stockmen from selling .heir steers winch were grazing in the Cor onado National fores; under permits from the Forestry service.
 In many of the cases. the permits were extended to November 3o in or. der to allow the catJlemen 10 lake advantage of the fall shipments.
 Because of the unsettled marke, conditions, cattlemen have inquired of the Forestry service if they VII be permitted 10 keep their cattle in the Coronado forest until spring. !. they cannot sell them this fall
 After careful consideration of thc matter, decision has been rendered by the state office of the service 10 the effect that permits will not be eX- tended upon short season stock to cover the winter season and that 1T will be necessary for those hold:ng such permits to remote their stock this fall
 The poor condition of the range caused by shortage of summer rains is given as the reason for the deci. sion. as the forestry officials are of the opinion that larger losses would be incurred by oyercrowding the ranges 10 take care Of the excess stock than would be suffered by dis posing Of the stock this fall
