ed. But if the reverse be true a rigid restriction should be placed 

 on every animal that grazes upon the watersheds of Arizona sup- 

 plying the streams from which water is drawn for irrigation. 



The Division of Forestry of the United States Department of 

 Agriculture will, during the present year, make a careful inves- 

 tigation of sheep grazing on all the forest reserves in the United 

 States. This investigation is now in progress in the forest reserves 

 in Arizona. As this question is of such vast importance to the 

 people of Arizona it is imperative that the truth be ascertained. 

 In order that every facility be given the Government officials who 

 are now investigating our forest reserves it is requested that all 

 persons interested communicate with the Experiment Station, giv- 

 ing specific illustrations from their own experience bearing upon 

 whichever side of the controversy they may support. It is the 

 intention of the Station to place this material in the hands of the 

 persons making the investigation.
