The Honorable.
The Secretary of Agriculture.
Sir:
The Narcotic Bureau of this Department has been advised that your Department has issued some bulletins, evidently for the information of farmers, which give information upon the manner of cultivating within this country the opium poppy and Cannabis sativa.

May I request to be advised whether any such publications have been issued within the past several years?   This Department, through its Narcotic Bureau, has sought to discourage at least under present conditions of supply, and respectfully urges that, in the interest of securing adequate control of the drugs derived from these plants, that no bulletin which may encourage such cultivation be issued.

By direction of the Secretary,
Respectfully,
(signed) L.W. Roberts Jr.
Assistant Secretary
