FOREST SERVICE FINISHES
LAND CLASSIFICATION

The forest service has just finish
ed one of the many and varied pro-
jects undertaken by that branch OF
the government service. which work
involved the classification OF 27.942.-
600 acres of national forest land in
District 1, OF which Ogden. Utah, il
the headquarters. OF these forest
lands I.OsO.0O0 acres are located In
Arizona. 27.sOO in Colorado. 11.1O0.-
600 i'm Idaho. 4.7lS.OOO in Nevada.
7.4sO,0OO in Utah. and $4,000 in
Wyoming.
Al the time the national forests
were originally created. II was impos-
sible to avoid the inclusion OF small
tracts of land suitable for agricuI-
tural purposes. These tracts
were scattered throughout the
interior OF the forests. but there were
no legal means OF utilizing the same
for homestead purposes. However.
the Secretary OF Agriculture finally
secured the passage of the Act of
June II. 1906. commonly called the
Forest Homestead Act. This is the
only act providing for securing lands
within the national forests for home
stead or any form OF agricultural use,
and each tract is limited in extent to
16O acres. Under this act some 1900
forest homesteads. involving $4,000
acres. have been listed in District 4
alone.
/ This method was not very expedi-
tious. and on August 10, 1912, con-
gress directed the classification and
| segregation of all national forest
land This work has now been com.
pleted. and maps covering the entire
body OF land included within the ex
terror boundaries OF the national for
ests have been prepared and for
warded to washington. These mapI
were colored to show the location o.
the different types of timber. roads
an dtrails. and each map was accom-
panied by a report containing full In
formation regarding such features ii
