ORGANIZATION OP THEiFOREST SERVICE 



In 1886, ten years after the first investigation was inaugurated, 

 the Division of Forestry was created in the Department of Agricul- 

 ture. For several years it was limited to an informational capacity 

 by annual appropriations never exceeding $30,000. Gradually the 

 field work was expanded until in 1901 the division became the Bureau 

 of Forestry. Four years later it became the Forest Service and its 

 appropriation for the fiscal year of 1924 is $12,731,869.

ORGANIZATION OF THE FOREST SERVICE 



In organization the United States Forest Service is divided into 

 two parts, the Washington office and the field service. In Washington,

 are seven administrative branches classified under the headings of 

 Operation, Forest Management, Grazing, Lands, Research, Engineer- 

 ing and Public Relations. In the field there are eight National Forest 

 Districts, each with headquarters in charge of district foresters. The 

 different branches direct their particular work in the several districts, 

 the district forester being aided by an assistant. The forests are admin-
