LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL.
U. S. Department of Agriculture, Division of Forestry, Washington, D. C., December 4, 1897.
Sir: I have the honor to recommend that the two articles contributed by me to the Yearbooks for 1894 and for 1895 on forestry for farmers be reprinted as a Farmers' Bulletin. The articles contain information in popular form regarding the growth of trees, the planting of a forest, treatment of the wood lot, the cultivation of the wood crop, influence of trees, etc. A wider distribution of this information, for which there is still considerable demand, would, I believe, result in acquainting farmers with a subject the importance of which has not always been duly recognized.
Very respectfully,
B. E. Fernow, Chief .
