Dear Professor Te1ort 
 
         In anfwr to the three questions in your letter of June 23: 
 
         1. I22L   ol time fop aI             I wold iot advise a 
period of less than one year. 
 
         2. 2    . A survey for this period ought to cost $4,000 to 
$5,000 for salary amd 2,50 for travel. 
 
         3.             It weuld be advantageous to have the work 
carried on by someone already familiar with western eonditions, inp. 
cludIn- the livestock inustr. irri-ation f-mim, and ntional 
forests. Unattached man posezssi, thse qualifieations in advane 
are of course scare. Te nees whI4 occr to m       are (1) 3. 3. 
Locks, U. S. Biological Survey, Intermoiuntain Forest andRange 
Experiment Stations. (2) W. B. Gra   , U. S. Biological Survey, 
Division of Food Habits Research  WashiWton, ). C., (3) C. Y. 
Cooperrider, U. 1. rorest Service, SoutIhetern Forest Eeriment 
Statio)n, Tucoson, Arizona, (h) Joseph Dixon. Natio)nal Par!- Service, 
American Trst %,ildin,. Beshelay, California, (5) J. S. Lig, 
Carlsbad, New Mexico. 
 
         Mach of these mes  as is quite naturn, hardly fills the 
whole bill, and some of them mlit have to be snpplemeted on their 
wea side. 
 
         locke. for instanc, woulýd be entirely cometent, but needs

contact with game m     et prjects -ay Ideas els ehere as a back 
ground a-ainst which to interpret his local observations. Such bach- 
ground cwuld be obtained either by travelirn J4, or invokng the 
advisory services of  meon who can msply it. 
 
         'f. B. Grange would have this           in fill, but would 
need coaching on conditions psemliar to the 1'est.
