Agricultural Yearbook 



A limited supply of the Yearbook of the Department of Agriculture 

 for 1918, which will be issued probably in May, 1919, is allotted to the 

 Forest Service for its members. Copies will be supplied as in former 

 years to district foresters and supervisors for their personal use. 

 Other forest officers may have personal copies by sending their names 

 to the Forester. Requests will be filed and filled in the order of their 

 receipt as long as the supply lasts. Copies will be supplied as usual
