Rice Planting Made Easy.

In Bataan, according to the Manila
Times, the labor of the rice planter is
a rhythmic delight. The fields are
not plowed or puddled, nor is there
any transplanting, but the brush and
underground are chopped down with
bolos, then burned. The ground is
hoed and corn is planted in spots
about six feet apart. When it is a
foot high the rice is planted, two or
three kernels in a hole, about IS
inches apart. One man has a guitar
and plays quick-time music while a
close semi-circle of six to a dozen men
with long, sharpened bamboos give
rapid thrusts in the ground, keeping
time with the music and doing a fan
tastic series of leaps backward with
joyful shouts. Meanwhile two or three
women or girls are able to drop the
seeds in the holes made by one man
and cover them up, keeping up jolly,
Laughing comment all the time.

| was less than in some other - at
fires, the loss of life and property was
very heavy. Hinckley and six other
towns were destroyed, about 500 lives
were lost, more than 1000 persons
were left destitute, and the estimated
loss in property of various kinds was
S25,000,000. Except for the heroic con-
duct Of locomotive engineers and
other railroad men the loss of life
would have been much greater.
This fire was all the more deplor-
able because it was wholly unneces-
sary. For many days before the high
wind came and drove it into uncon-
trollable fury, it was burning slowly
close to the town Of Hinckley, and
could have been put out
In reviewing the losses of this year,
Mr.. Pinchott says: There is little or
no difference between the fires of
1908 and those of other years, so far
as causes are concerned. Unfortu-
nately, there is also little difference
in the way people have met them. In
most states fires have been allowed
to run until they threatened valuable
property, and then efforts were made
to check them. This eeventh-hour
activity succeeded here and there, but
even cursory summary of the fire
loss for the year shows that such
methods result in almost inevitable
disaster.
This forest fire question lVsolves it.
self into one of the most important
problems before the nation in the
care of it's natural resources. Success
or failure in its solution by those hav-
ing private holdings of timberland,
means the continued use of the land
or the perpetual burden of caring for
vast barren wastes. The devastation
following a fire is not realized by many
people, and l sometimes think that the
greatest thing that can be done in
furtherance of the movement for the
conservation of the forest resources
would be to give as many people as
possible chance to visit section of
the country that has been thoroughly
impoverished by forest fire.
The fire warden system has been
fairly successful in places, but its fun
damental weakness is that it is not
preventive system. To begin work
after fire has gained Roadway means
that from the start the chances are
against checking it before it has done
serious damage. No fire-fghting sys-
TEN has shown itself effective that did
not provide for ranger patrol. In the
national forests we are meeting the
proposition with a satisfactory sys-
TEN, although the number of men in
the field is insignificant and the
rangers districts are so large that the
fire risk is raised above the point of
safety. The one secret of fighting
fires is to discover your fire as soon
as possible, fight it as hard as you
can, and refuse to leave 1t until the
last ember is certainly dead. The rea-
son for the widespread destruction by
large fires this year was the indlffer-
ence of the people to the smaller ones"
