with the applicant, and form the basis of his formal application, 

 which is filled out in duplicate and signed by him. 



If the supervisor approves the application, the applicant for- 

 wards first payment or full payment, as agreed upon, to the Spe- 

 cial Fiscal Agent, with a letter of transmittal furnished him by the 

 forest officer. A copy of the letter of transmittal is at once for- 

 warded to the Forester by the supervisor, stating, in addition to the 

 information given in the original, the amount of timber of each

 to the purchaser with a copy of the Use Book. 



C. FORESTER SALES.
