TEN YEAR GRAZING LEASES

An item from Washington says
that beginning in 1925 stockmen may
secure 10-year permits to Craze cat
tie and sheep on national forest
range, according to announcement by
the forest service. Previously per-
mits could be obtained for not to ex-
ceed five years. This action was
taken with a view of assisting the
livestock industry to further recover
from its depression of the last few
yeas, since grazing permits for ten
instead of five years will make it less
difficult to secure financial aid to
carry on grazing operations.

save in small sums and to make
their small savings increase until q
