CHIEF FORESTER GIVES INSTRUCTIONS
FOR COMBATING FIRES IN FORESTS

crown fire will jump a wide fire line.
and many fires have been known to
cross wide rivers almost without
check. In the mountains, a crown fire
running up a slope is almost impos-
sible to check.
ION level ground it is possible to
stop crown fires by back firing, when
the conditions are such as to make
back firing possible at all. Thus in
the pine forests of the Atlantic coast
crown fires are frequently checked by
back firing. The back fire burns off
the surface material and thus in it.
self acts as a check to the crown fire.
"If it is found that a back fire Is
necessary, a favorable point Is Sc
lected directly in front of the fire,
from which to set the new fire. This
must be point such as a road, fire.
line, stream, or swamp. The leaves
are ignited at points five feet to a rod
apart for distance not greater than
the estimated width of the head OF the
fire. These small fires gradually
meet and form a continuous line, eat
ing back against the wind. The
meeting of the two fires stops at once
the head of the main fire. 1t is usu-
ally possible then to attack the wings
with the ordinary methods of fight
ing.

spark is extinguished. After the fire.

is always well to assign at least one
man to patrol the edges of the burned
area until it is certain that the fire is
entirely out. This may be not for
several days"

the management soon looses courage
and enthusiasm and failure is but a
question of time, but that many of
these fairs still live after many years
of trials and troublrs shows that
there is a place for the comfy fair.
The fair can do the county good
just in proportion TO the support 1t
receives from the public; the good
it can do the individual depends
largely upon himself.
Unjust criticism and general
course of fault finding, coupled with
lack OF interest from the public,
viii have a cooling effect on any
managing board, and do more to
retard the general success than even
actual non-attendauce and support.
The duty OF the voting members
does not end with the election of
the various officers, bnt their duty
has but just begun; they should
continuously and at all times give
the officers of their choice s generous
and hearty support.
Much should be and is done with
ont the hope of s'fee or reward,
and continued success can only come
with such support.
Many new exhibitor has made
hrs entries honestly believing he
would be sure winner, but has
gone down to defeat, finding others
with better goods than his The
one that takes his defeat with
smile and goes home with the de-
termination to win out next time,
will nearly always do 80. That
spirit is what makes winner, and
to all such the fair is for his good,
and enough of such viii surely make
a co unity fair a continued success
Windsor county fair is living

COUNTY FAIRS

Ii is TACT that every county where
there is a good county fair shows
better stock and the farmers are
more interested and more successful
than those sections OF the state that
have not access to such fans.
One OF the greatest values of the
county fair is the stimulating of the
agriculturists who support and at
tend it.
1t makes better crops, better
farmers, finer stock and more acres
OF grain. The stimulus of compe-
tition is what does the good.
1t is sometimes hard to count the
actual cash returns at the time from
these agricultural exhibits, but they
do bring results; there is noquestion
hut that the practical result is for
better farming and more money.
The county fair has passed through
various stages OF success and fall
ures: some have succeeded and ssill
live; others have dwindled away
and finally gone ont of existence.
Many factors have determined the
success or failure of these fairs, and
one of the principal causes has been
the attitude of the management and
the patronizing public
In a locality where thel general
public looks ON with indifference,
