TOE TWELVE THE '.CUMBERCOCUETr WEDNESDAY, MAY 27, ivi '1 I; SLASH BURNING DISCUSSED BY F,fl. ELLIOT State Forester Gives Point t For Disposal of Limbs Fom Logged Land j..,' . .., j The disposal of slashings from laMlng operations continues to be one of the most serious problems Confronting the State Board of Forestry. Indications tho early part of the season were that conditions would bo favorable for slash dis posal, and an aggressive campaign was started. However, owing to continued dry weather, the work was temporarily abandoned and later resumed only during- short periods' throughout the summer when conditions were favorable. Qwlng to the unsatisfactory weather it was impossible to do as much of this work as was desired. How ever, as a result of this activity, 33,956 acres were burned before and after the closed season. During . the closed season IS, 660 acres were burned under 1271 permits. There la no unanimity of opinion as to the best time of the year to burn, not as to the extent of prep aration " necessary to make for safety. However, it is a well-known tact -that operators prefer to take a chance rather ' than spend money in i making a slashing reasonably safe..- Many of the most disastrous tires of the season were due to thiB lack of preparation on the part of operators before burning or where Slashings were, tor various rea sons, left on the ground and caught tire daring the dry season. "The neglect of operators to take the necessary precautionas before bunting slashings is general thru- outline state, and bad tires do break out, resulting in opposition to the law and condemnation of the department in attempting to enforce it. , Climatic 'conditions entirely gov ern : successful slash disposal and advantage must be taken of every opportunity In " getting the debris cleaned up each year. Dut to loss from hangover fires from spring slash burning, operators have been quick to condemn the practice, not taking 7 Into consideration where .'they were at fault. Spring slash, burning can be done and done successfully, weath er conditions permitting, if the proper precautions are taken prior to setting the fire. These should include: (1) Felling of snags ' at least along the exterior boundaries of the arear to be burned. One of the most fertile sources of fires is from snags, not only during the burning but afterward. Fire in the top of snags . has been known to persist for weeks, and even months, and during ' the first high wind -sparks will be blown a long distance. Dur ing periods of fire hazard this be comes a distinct menace and one that could be overcome by felling snags. . . (J) Construction of tire trails. The purpose ,.of ' these is obvious. They can be used as a base from which to start . burning and also serve to confine the fire to the area Whlch is to be burned. - - (3) Placing sufficient men on the work to properly do the burn ing and see that it is confined to the designated area. The usual cus tom among operators when burning is to be done is to turn a few men loose to promiscuously scatter fire over the area. (4) Starting fires in the proper place. Direction of the wind, topo graphy and fire trails should be taken into consideration in start ing the fires. . (5) One of the most Important factors to be taken into considera tion Is weather conditions. Through, the weather bureau or tho district warden it can be deter mined what weather conditions will, be for. the next day or so. Further more, a sling psychrometer should be a 'part ot every camp's equip ment, and then no mistake can be : made in regard to relative humid ity. Burning should be done only wfcen the humidity Is rising. (6) Lastly, . every effort should be made following tho. burning to extinguish tires along the bound aries of the area burned where there is the least danger of them spreading. . :, j Damages resulting the past sum mer from tires escaping . through Improper slash burning . have reached a high figure. This loss is far In excess of any necessary eost In the proper burning of slash. Other losses have been due to tho failure ot operators to dispose of their - slash. One method of re ducing fire losses and tire hazard Is the proper burning of all slash ings wherever they are a menace to ny surrounding property, i The Western Fire Fighters' man ual takes up the matter ot slash disposal 'in considerable detail in all tho different regions of tho Northwest, giving advice as to preparatory work and the nctuul burning. Since the law requires the burn ing of slashings, mid tho practice of good forestry demands that It be burned before germination of tho seed takes place In order to Insure a new stand In a rensouaulo length ot time, an effort should be made to conform as closely as pos sible to sllvlcultural requirements when taking up methods and time ot slash disposal. the radio set, snylng with n sigh, "Oh, dear, hut these radio plays are becoming so mushy."

With your shy, winning ways you have lured me here, Come to my arms. I love you." Connie rose slowly from the bed as it drawn by some power, and ap proached the voice timidly.
