Of the matter. This department sees

aside for that purpose. We are RetI'hs
ready to put the trees back where 'h'S
were. by planting, seeding, or pTotec

we have the biggest job OF retor'
Cstation in the history OF the world
and you must remember that We nave
been at It only two years. When our
task is well under way II means mil
lions of dollars TO the people OF the
West in lumber. fuel, and the preseTF'
alton of spring water.
We are trying to work for the
greatest good Of the greatest number

In any other way
Even in the two years We have had
the reserves we find that We can raise
more cattle on them than was ever
possible before. simply through using
them carefully and with proper reEu-
lltlons as TO grazing. II Is a great sat
isfactIon. ! can assure you, TO be able
after two years OF preaching theory
TO be able to say now that We are be
ginning to make good.
We are going to make the reserves
most useful by cooperation with the
cattlemen OF the West. We need and
cant get along without your help. and
can say also that you need our help
and can't get along without it. We
want and We welcome your help. your
suggestions and your complaints.
Il would desire that you appoint ad.
visory committees to aid us In our
work. Our controlling desire at all
times is to make these reserves more
useful TO you
