I - Meteorologist I ' IS ESTABLISHED The Department or Agriculture und other agencies concerned with the protection of federal, atnto und private forests from fire are keep ing as watchful an eye on the weather these days as tho nuvigu tors of ships at sea. . , Increasing realization of 'tho im portant role the weather plays in the forest fire hazard has led the weather bureau of the United States department of agriculture to establish a systematic forest fire-weather warning service in several sections of the country, and regular forecasts are being sent out to apprise foresters and . forest owners of dangerous fire j weather so that they may shut) down logging operations and slash I burning, and mobilize fire-fighting units with the least possible delay. In the Pacific .coast region, where some of the most valuable! forests in the United States are j situated, the fire-weather warning i work has been under way for some time. Fire-weather forecasts are is-1 sued twice daily by the weather bureau and are disseminated by telegraph to Important key points, by radio and by nbwspapers. The radio broadcasting of these fore casts is one of the most recent de velopments, and fire-weather bul letins now aro being sent out from 16 Pacific coast and northwestern stations. The worst fires In Washington and Oregon occur' in connection with the dreaded east win 1. "When these winds are preceded by a period of- warm drv weather rh-es I start easily. ine tire-weather warning t-ervlco now is in operation in seven districts:- California, with headquar ters at San Francisco; Oregon, with headquarters at Portland ; Washington, with headquarters . at Seattle; Montana and northern Idaho, with headquarters at Spo kane; southern Idaho, with head quarters at Boise; Minnesota, Wis consin and Michigan, with head quurtors at Duluth; New York and New England . with headquarters at Boston. Within tho districts, subcenters are maintained, such as Albany for the Adirondack region of Now York, New Haven for Con necticut, etc. A partial service also is in operation for the protection of the Appalachian forest region in the South Atlantic states. , At the various substations weath er bureau and forest officers are cooperating in studying and ob serving fire-weather conditions. Sevoral of the substations are. mak ing studies of conditions in the up per air. Relative humidity, a term used to represent the relative amount of moisture In the atmos phore, nlso is , closely watched. When the relative humidity is high, materials absorb moisture from the air, and when it is low tho air absorbs moisture from all ma terials. Extreme forest fire hazards aro always the result of low hu midity. The ? importance of this ractor is indicated by: the fact that some insurance companies are now granting reduced rates on tlmberlnnd In the Pacific north west when the -'owner . agrees to ( suspend all logging operations for ! any period during which the rela-! tlve humidity is below 30 per cent. !
