LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL 



U. S. Department of Agriculture, 



Bureau of Plant Industry, 



Office of the Chief, 

 Washington, D. C, January 11, 1910. 



Sir: I have the honor to transmit herewith and to recommend 

 for publication as Bulletin No. 177 of the series of this Bureau a 

 manuscript entitled "A Protected Stock Kange in Arizona," by 

 Dr. David Griffiths. This paper has been submitted for publication 

 by Prof. W. J. Spillman, Agriculturist in Charge of the Office of 

 Farm Management. 



This is the second report upon range investigations in the Santa 

 Rita National Forest in cooperation with the University of Arizona. 

 It portrays the effects of proper protection of the native pastures of 

 the resion and shows that results are much more certain of accom- 

 plishment by proper management than by attempting reseeding 

 operations. 



Respectfully, 



A. F. Woods, 

 Acting < 'Ji ief of Bureau. 

 Hon. James Wilson, 



Secretary of Agriculture.
