(44 Stat. 242); Secs. 476, 616, Title-16, U. S. C. 
For the purpose of preserving the living and growing timber and 
promoting the younger growth on national forests, the Secretary of 
Agriculture, under such rules and regulations as he shall prescribe, 
may cause to be designated and appraised so much of the dead, ma- 
tured, or large growth of trees found upon such national forests as 
may be compatible with the utilization of the forests thereon, and 
may sell the same for not less than the appraised value in such 
quantities to each purchaser as he shall prescribe. Before such sale 
shall take place, notice thereof shall be given for not less than thirty 
days, by publication in one or more newspapers of general circula- 
tion, as he may deem necessary, in the State or Territory where such 
national forest exists: Provided, however, That in cases of unusual 
emergency the Secretary of Agriculture may, in the exercise of his 
discretion, permit the purchase of timber and cord wood in advance 
of advertisement of sale at rates of value approved by him and sub- 
ject to payment of the full amount of the highest bid resulting from 
the usual advertisement of sale: Provided further, That he may, in 
his discretion, sell without advertisement, in quantities to suit appli- 
cants, at a fair appraisement, timber, cord wood and other forest 
products, not exceeding in value five hundred dollars: And provided 
further, That in cases in which advertisement is had and no satis- 
factory bid is received, or in cases in which the bidder fails to com- 
plete the purchase, the timber may be sold, without advertisement, at 
private sale, in the discretion of the Secretary of Agriculture, at not 
less than the appraised valuation, in quantities to suit purchasers. 
Such timber before being sold, shall be marked and designated, and 
shall be cut and removed under the supervision of some person 
appointed for that purpose by the Secretary of Agriculture, not 
interested in the purchase or removal of such timber nor in the em- 
ployment of the purchaser thereof. Such supervisor shall make 
report in writing of his doings in the premises. (See sec. 3, act 
June 9, 1930 (46 Stat, 527; sec. 576-b, title 16, U. S. Code.)
