SERVICE NOTES FOR JULY. 



These notes contain instructions and necessary information for forest officers, and 

 will therefore be carefully read and kept on file for reference. 



OFFICE OF THE FORESTER. 

 Dates of National Forest Code's Becoming Effective 



The regulations and instructions contained in the Grazing and Special Uses 

 sections of the National Forest Code became effective May 1, 1911. The other sections 

 of the Manual will be printed and distributed during the present season, and the 

 regulations and instructions contained will become effective as approved by the 

 Secretary of Agriculture. These regulations and instructions will, as far as possible, 

 be continued in effect without modification or amendment for at least one year. 

 Every effort will be made to avoid frequent changes and the consequent issuance 

 of letters, circulars, and Field Program notes, and as far as consistent with good 

 administration correct ions or changes will be made periodically and by means of a 

 general revision of sections of the Manual. Conflicting clauses, errors, omissions, or 

 ambiguous terms may be discovered; and changed conditions may make changes 

 in procedure desirable or imperative, but unless immediate action is required to 

 prevent damage to the National Forests or serious loss or embarrassment to the users 

 of them recommendations for changes in regulations or instructions will be filed for 

 consideration at the time of the next periodic general revision. 



The regulations and instructions now in effect are more detailed and definite than 

 any hitherto issued. It is believed that with the experience secured by one year's 

 practical application of them it will be possible to issue a Manual well adapted to 

 every need; one which will set forth clearly every principle and regulation governing 

 the administration of the National Forests and every routine instruction required by 

 the field officers. To this end the cooperation of every forest officer is solicited. 

 Please submit, through the proper channels, any suggestions for changes in the regu- 

 lations or instructions which your experience shows to be desirable, and call atten- 

 tion to any apparently conflicting instructions, or to any where the meaning is not 

 absolutely clear. All suggestions received will be placed on file and considered at 

 the proper time. 



Report of Addresses- 

 All addresses delivered by members of the Service should be reported to the Forester 

 on Form 129. Failure to do this has caused much inconvenience in the past.
