A PRIMER OF FORESTRY PART II—PRACTICAL FORESTRY

U.S. Department of Agriculture,          
Bureau of Forestry,     
Washington, D.C., June 26, 1903.

Sir: I have the honor to transmit herewith the manuscript of the second half of "A Primer of Forestry," and to recommend its publication as Bulletin No. 24, Part II, of this Bureau. The second part (Practical Forestry) deals with the practice of forestry, with work in the woods, and with the relation of the forest to the weather and the streams, and concludes with a short account of forestry at home and abroad.

The illustrations are from photographs in the collection of the Bureau of Forestry, some of which were contributed by gentlemen not members of the Bureau, to whom I desire to express my acknowledgments.

Respectfully,

GIFFORD PINCHOT,     
Forester.

Hon. JAMES WILSON,
     Secretary of Agriculture.
