Sales in Excess of $100 



The authority to approve sales in excess of $100 which has recently been 

 granted to the supervisors of some Forests must not be construed to apply to 

 any Forest officer other than the one named in the authorization. 



Brush Burning 



Experience has proven that the kerosene torch is the most satisfactory device 

 for brush burning. This torch should be of the stationary type and made to 

 hold approximately one quart. 



All Forest officers in charge, who expect to burn much brush this season, 

 should purchase at their earliest convenience as many of these torches as may 

 be necessary for the prompt completion of the work. 



Error in Use Book Corrected 



The word " calendar " in the first line on page 158 of " The Use Book " should 

 be corrected to read " fiscal."
