Higher fees will provide for further improvement in the administration of federal range lands and keep pace with rising administration. Pfesent grazing and range improvement fees have been in effect ,since August 6, 1947. In addition to the fees paid, range users have been voluntarily contributing to range improvement and conservation work an amount equivalent to eight cents per animal unit month. These contributions are evidence of the growing interest of livestock operators in conservation of the range. Secretary Chapman also announced that effective May 1, 1951, rentals would be increased for federal range land lying outside of the grazing districts and leased under Section 15 of the Taylor act. The rentals will be increased to a level comparable to the grazing and range improvement fees charged in the grazing districts. The increase in grazing fees and rentals effects nearly 32,000 livestock operators who depend upon ihe forage produced on federal range lands to maintain their These lands include operations. 160 million acres of arid and semi-ari- d range country in the west. Although generally sparsely vegetated, they furnish an averof the annual age of one-thiforage requirement of almost 10 million head of livestock. Revenues from grazing use yielded $1,500,000 in the fiscal year of 1950. Federal range lands are managed to produce the maximum volume of forage on a sustained basis without impairing the production capacity of the soil. Their yield in animal products is an important contribution to the nations economy and is of particular significance in the present national emergency. Good range management practices also insure protected watersheds and are necessary to the control and prevention of soil erosion. rd Starring 25, 1051 Family Drink!
