PREMIUM on EOREST flRES

~ the sale OF dead timber Ia defective
IN that. indirectly, II offers a premium
IN forest fires.
Dead timber lett on forest ian IS that
have been swept by IRE is sold at a
much lower price thGn green timber,
ana since for rany purposes II is as
good as that which might be cut in a
rowing forest, the ability TO put IL
at small price offers a temptation to
people TO start hres for the purpose of
81 ling the growing trees. or course
many OF the trees in such a case are
50 injured that Che timber In them Is
r, ndered valueless. but in probably q
raiD-''-' ~ cases enough remains TO
suIl3 rn, immediate needs of the
iuon responsible for the fires
The object in placing a low price on
timber left standing after a forest fire
is to provide for It's removal so that
IL. area may be prepared for re-
ncwed growth both OF grass and trees.
This consideration is not one TO he
ignored Probably. however, a com.
promise might serve the purpose, I'M
der which the price of dead timber,
while not too high To prevent its pur.
chase and removal under any circum-
stances, would be great enough to
remove in the main the temptation to
set growing forests on fire.
