WORK OF BUREAU OF FORESTRY. 



FIELD PROGRAM FOR AUGUST. 1904, WITH 

 FULL LIST OF PERSONAL ASSIGNMENTS. 



A SCHEDULE of field work and as- 

 signments in the Bureau of For- 

 estry is being issued monthly during the 

 field season in order to keep the various 

 members of the Bureau more closely in 

 touch with the work as a whole and 

 with each other. The growth of the 

 forest movement, and especially of the 

 government forest service, can in no way 

 be more clearly shown than in the list of 

 projects now under consideration by the 

 Bureau of Forestry. For this reason its 

 various lines of work and the men as- 

 signed to them are given in full here. 

 It will be seen that the federal govern- 

 ment is at the present time carrying on 

 forest work of a varied nature in thirty- 

 one states and territories.
