Chief Forester Emphasizes
Need of Fire Protection
By W. B. Greeley
(Written for the United News,)
WASHINGTON, Juno 1. As the
lire season already has begun on
many of America's 117 national for
ests, It h timely to point out the
increasing need of lire prevention.
Fortunately, the American people
are awakening to the growing men
ace of forest fires and President
Harding's recent action In proclaim
ing forest protection week met with
widespread lesponsu.
lint the time lias come when ef
fective! r.ction must be added to
popular sentiment. The forest fire
problem is ohj which requires eon
carted action by the federal and
state governments. Today through
cooperation by 2.1 states with the
forest service 17.1,000,000 acres ol
the country's principal timber le
gions are under some form of lire
protection. Hut 11 other slates, with
a total of over 110,000,000 acres or
forest land, have done little or
nothing.
Congress tills year Inci eased the
appropriation for fire protection for
forested watersheds of navigable
sti earns from $12.1.000 to $400,000.
With these additional funds much
more effective and widespread co
operation with state .should take
place. Iiefore s'.eh financial assis
lence can be .secured, however, It
is necessary for state leglslat.iros
to pass laws and make apptopiia
lions for the protection of their
timber lands,
The fact the 80 per cent of Hie
10,000 forest fires that occurred In
' the United States during the last
live years were due to human
agencies Is proof that both public
education and strict regulations are
needed.
The magnitude of the area burned
over by these forest fires, which
tctals 50,188.000 acres, is staitling.
It represents an area gteater than
that occupied by the slates of Ohio
and Pennsylvania. The money loss
exceeded $81,000,000.
In addition to the destruction or
growing tlmb -r and f.ettlers homes,
loss of lives was rlso sometime.
heavy as it was in the Minnesota
fire of 1!)18, in which nearly 1,000
persons either were binned to death
or suffocated
In suppiessing forest fires the for
est service spends over $1,000,000
each year, Including the protection
of the national forests and states
and private Individuals spend $1,
100,000. Most of the fires that yearly
consume our forests tiro due to
carelessness a camp fire lefi burn
ing, a lighted cigarette or match
thoughtlessly cast aside. Fires
started from heedlessness or neg
lect are largely lesponsible for the
81,000,000 acres of vnst.- forest land
In the United States today.
Willi the Increasing number of
visitors, now estimated al more
than 1,000,000 who yearly come to
the national forests In search of
rest and recreation, the danger of
man-caused fires Is enhanced, un
less everyone recognizes a personal
responsibility in preserving these
lands for the use of present and
future generations.
