Wherein is the law logical? Can
anyone recall where farmer set fire
to forest while burning brush?
Perhaps there has been mn instance
of the kind, but they are few. 1t is
not difficult however, to recall many
instances where acres of timberland
have been burned over by hunters,
and scarcely hunting season passes
without the newspapers chroniclin &
numerous disastrous events of this
sort. Yet, the hunter is permitted to
roam ut large without restriction
while farmer cannot even burn a
pile of brush on plowed field with
out permit The chief effect will be
that many farmers who have been ac-
customed to burning rubbish will not
take the trouble to get permit, and
fearing the consequences Of the law,
will allow the refuse to accumulate g
hoping that some future Legislature
will repeal the useless bill.
