forest service headquarters, of the six districts which the national forests have been divided, have just been an- nounced. The district foresters' of ies, located in Denver, Colo, Ogden, Utah, Missoula, Mont, Albuquerque, N. M. and Portland, Ore, opened on December l.
 The new field organization of the forest service will greatly facilitate the use of the national forests by the people. It will mean that the nation al forest business, which formerly was transacted in Washington, will be handled by officers on or near the ground. The blishment of the district headquarters is the culmtnas ' tion of plan towards which the forest service has been working steadily, since it took charge of the national forests.
 Each national forest district will be in charge of a district forester. The work at district headquarters will be distributed among four offices, opera tion, grazing, silviculture, and pro- ducts, each equipped with men of spe- cial training for work of their office.
 The office of operation will be charged with responsibility for the protection of national forest, for the building of roads, trails, and other permanent improvements upon them for the organizati tion of the force on national forests, and with the super ! vision of all business relating to the special use of national forest re- have supervision of free use and sale of timber from national forests, foE- est planting upon them, and will con- duct forest studies on national forests as well as in cooperation with pri- vate owners in the district. The of flee of grazing will supervise grazing business in the district, except for the actual fixing of allowances, periods and rates, and will make studies look ing to the improvement of the forage crop on national forests. The office of products will make both independ. ently and in cooperation with private owners, studies leading to a more profitable use of timber on and of national forests, within the district, and to their preseryative treatment.
 From the district foresters down, the personnel of the district offices is made up of men picked for their prov | a1 hai hnr ing, and for their experience in the west. Most of them are men who not only have worked in the west after they entered in the service, but who lived in the west before they took up the government forest work. Many of them are men who formerly were employed on the national forests, and have been promoted to larger re responsibilities as result of their high efficiency The personnel of the dis trict offices, which has just been an nounced. is as follows for district 3 which comprises Arizona, Arkansas New Mexico and Oklahoma, with headquarters at Albuquerque, New Mexico.
