FOREST FIRE PRO-
lection AMONG
PRIVATE OWNERS

One of the lessons which will An
ally be drawn from the trying ex-
perience OF the present forest fire sea
son. In the belief of oflcials of the
U. s. Departments Of Agriculture. is
the need of wider organization
among private owners Of timber to
safeguard their holdings.
1t is pointed out that already In
the Northwest, both on the Pacific
Coast and in Montana and Idaho,
tImberland owners have formed
themselves into associations which
assess the members on an acreage
basis and thus meet the cost Of main.
tanning a regular patrol and fire.
fighting organization. Only by get
ting together can private owners usu-
ally assure themselves protection,
fg FIRE is no resi- ecter OF boundary
lines and the man who undertakes
TO keep II out Of his own timber will
want 1t kept out of hts neighbours
too. Wherever possible the Govern
ment's forest officers cooperate with
the force put in the field by the ssso.
Citations, so that the employees Of the
Government and those of the private
owners are handled practically as a
uiit In fighting the common enemy.
This cooperation IS advantageous
TO both sides Protection Of the Nat
ionaI Forests necessarily carries with
It a god deal of protection Of adjoin-
ing or interior holdings. II the psi.
vats owners would evOEywhers
shoulder their reasonable share OF
the burden, the public would gain
both through more general forest
censervatiouand through relief from
the necessity of paying for the pro
lection OF private timberin order t.
protect its own.

An article in the PRESS regarding
the cost Of feeding prisoners in our
