Nelson xtiUl thut the recent Btinouixi-rnent of the grazing f.-c li' -reuses for public land administered ly the U. S. Do iarlmeiit of the Interior's BLM j,nil the U. S. Department of Ak rleulture's Forest Service ha come as a Mow to Farm Bureau members und others who had wanted Congressional action on the report of the Public Land Law Review commission before there was any grazing fee ad justment. Nelson quoted the two agen cies as saying In their Joint an iHiunccmerit that It was their feeling the increment la within the concept of the PLLRCs re Mirt of moving grazing fees to ward "fair market value." How ever, Nelson said, "Wo think the agencies are interpreting the report out of context the l'LLRC recommendation states: 'Fair market value, taking into con sideration factors in each area of the lands Involved, should be established by law as a basta for grazing fees . . When market and other conditions in the vicinity of permitted lands ore taken into consideration for each permit, grazing fees will vary based on conditions in each permit area.' 'The Farm Bureau favors this concept of flexibility in fees be cause it is unrealistic to charge the same fee without consider ation of variances in operating and economic situations or dif ferences In the quality of pub lic range land and forago yield; yet the fee schedules used for lands under the Jurisdiction of the BLM have always been for a uniform, universal fee." Fees Up The fee increase is the first since a one-year moratorium placed on fee Increases to al low lime to review recommen dations of the rubllc Land Law Review commission. Most stock men using lands administered by the BLM In 1971 will pay 64 cents to craze one cow or ft, fr-- 1 1 1971 Against Increases In Range Rents five sheep for a month, compar ed with 41 cents during the past two years. This rata Bp plies to eastern Oregon, Wash ington and other western atates. New fees on western Oregon lands administered by the BLM will be 88 cents per animal un it month (AUM) compared to C3 cents previously. Fees for public lands admin istered by the BLM inside graz ing districts consist of a 43-cent basic grazing fee and a 21-cent range improvement fee, for a total of Gl cents. Outside of grazing districts in eastern Oregon and Washington, the basic grazing fee Is 48 cents with 16 cents allocated toward range Improvements for a total of 01 cents per AUM. The annual Increase in fees for public land use U 9 cents for BLM lands and 7 cents for Forest Service lands. However, both agencies are increasing fi.es an additional 11 cents to reflect market increases in for age prices during the two years since the last lee cnange, wun revenues to be added to local KINZUA NEWi Camp S Meeting The regular meeting of the Camp 5 Womens Club was neia last Wednesday at the camp d Community Hall with seven members present.

"The agen cles in their news releases state their intention of proceeding through the lull lu annual in crcments of increase, plus ad ditional increases, thus effect ively decapitalizing the ranch ers borrowing value In the graz in a nermlL Yet ranchers provld the largest share of hard work that goes into the management and maintenance of proper eco logical balance on these public lands, and if livestock is re moved, fur-reaching problems are created, such as the rapid growth of thickets that are us able even by game animals." Writs Congressmen "The cumulative efforts of all those concerned with the live stock industry in the United States in resisting fee increases have obviously not been good enough," Nelson observed, "so we are asking our members to write to their Congressmen seek ing postponement of the in crease which would go into ef- ceiving word of the serious con dition of Mrs. Slinkard and Mrs. Rice's mother, Mrs. G.
