Seed Collecting- 



It is desired to collect a very large quantity of seed on the National Forests this 

 fall for broadcast seeding experiments. The supervisors of Forests on which the 

 seed crop is abundant have been notified by letter of the quantity they are expected 

 to collect on their Forests. It is often the case that on Forests where the seed crop 

 on the whole is scarce there are localities where 25 to 50 pounds of seed can easily 

 be collected. Therefore, supervisors who have not already been requested to secure 

 seed should instruct their rangers to pay special attention to local seed crops within 

 their districts and obtain whatever quantity of seed is possible in connection with their 

 other work. Seed of the following species is most desired: Yellow pine; Douglas fir; 

 lodgepole pine; Engelmann spruce; western white pine; sugar pine; Coulter pine; 

 Jeffrey pine. 



Replies to Circular Letter "SE" of June 30 



Only 60 per cent of the replies, due September 1, to this circular letter have been 

 received. It is essential that the information requested be sent in at once, in 

 order that the necessary arrangements may be made to obtain the stock required for 

 distribution. 



BRANCH OF GRAZING. 



Annual Grazing- Reports 



The reorganization of the Forest Service, which is to take effect January 1, renders 

 it necessary to have all supervisors' annual grazing reports submitted in duplicate. 

 Every supervisor will, therefore, furnish the district forester with two copies of his 

 annual grazing report, the original to be transmitted to the Forester, and the dupli- 

 cate to be retained in the files of the district forester's office. This matter is a very 

 important one, and must not under any circumstances be ignored. 



Error in Charges for Hay Cutting 



The Circular of Instructions on Special Uses of August 31, on page 2, established 

 a minimum rate of 25 cents per acre for hay sales. This is an error; the correct 

 figure is 20 cents per acre. (See Use Book, Reg. 72, also Service Order 20, in the Field 

 Program for September.)
