Entomology in the district, the matter will be taken up with him 

 through the proper channels." It has been agreed by the Forest Serv- 

 ice and the Bureau of Entomology that this should be interpreted as 

 follows : 



Any matters relating to administration or policy or to new control 

 projects will first be taken up by the district forester with the Bureau 

 of Entomology through the Forester. After the general policy and plan 

 of procedure for the project have been agreed upon, correspondence in 

 conducting it will be directly between the district forester and the 

 field agent of the Bureau of Entomology. 



Requests from private owners for advice or assistance in the control 

 of insect attacks will be referred to the Bureau of Entomology. If 

 cooperation between the private owner and the Forest Service is 

 desirable, the Bureau of Entomology, after its investigation of the 

 matter, will advise the private owner to take it up direct with the 

 district forester concerned, who will make the necessary arrange- 

 ment for cooperation.

 the act of June 11, 1906, or whether applications therefor have been 

 made and are pending ; also whether there are any mining claims ad- 

 joining or in the neighborhood of the tract listed. These instructions 

 were not intended to be retroactive so far as to require a reexamination 

 in the field of lands 1 which had already been reported upon and recom- 

 mended for listing; but as to such lands, if the District Forester has 

 at hand in the records and files of his office the information re- 

 quested, it should be embodied in the listing letter.
