Cooperative work with the Forest Service was carried on during 

 the year in certain studies in Utah, Arizona, and in a number of 

 Sontheastern States. In the hitter the work had especial reference 

 to the rcLation of soil character to kind and character of forest 

 growth. Information of this kind was desired in certain reforesta- 

 tion studies in the area of cut-over lands in the South. The work in 

 Utah and Arizona also was concerned primarily with the relation of 

 the soil to the growing of forest trees. 



The study of the soil conditions on the public lands, in cooperation 

 with ofliciais of the Geological Surve}'^ engaged in land-classification 

 work, was continued through August, 1918, when the party assigned 

 to this Avork was called for by the Reclamation Service. This work 

 with the Geological Survey was concerned primarily with the prob- 

 lems of soil classification in the Great Plains States, and a great deal 

 of valuable information concerning the soils in the region was 

 obtained. The data "svill be useful in preparing a soil map of the 

 United States upon Avhich the bureau and the Office of Farm Manage- 

 ment are engaged. Studies of the same character, independent of 

 the Geological Surve.y, were made in southeastern Utah and south- 

 western Colorado, late in the season after the forest-survey work in 

 Utah had been finished. 



At the request of the Eeclamation Service, Interior Department, a 

 part}' was assigned to the work of examining the .soils of a number 

 of areas in Wyoming, Utah, and xVrizona, with regard to the feasi-
