has resulted from roaming hunters and
campers.
There is one source of field fires that
may be accountable for many that are
charged up to hunters, and that is the pres
ence OF glass among the dry grass and
stupple. When the mercury rises to 1902
in the shade it is blisterine hot on the
open plains, and cast-off bottles have
been known to be the means of igniting
the tinder-like grass when the burn
ing rays of the sun beat down upon them.
The power of sun glasses is well known,
and with the thick bottom of bottle fo-
Gus can be had that will set fire TO paper.
Guarding against reckless hunters and
campers is ali well enough, but owners OF
grain fields should not always assume,
in the absence of proof, that they are re-
sponsible for all the field fires that occur
in the summer months.
