FOREST FIRE AGREEMENTS.
Cooperation Between Department of

Washington, July 9.-Forest fire CO.
operative agreements between the de-
partments of agriculture and five
states have been completed. These
agreements provide for the expenditure
by the federal government of 1925, 200
on the forests in these states for their
protection from fire during the ensu-
ing year. They are made possible I'M
der the terms of the so-called Appa
lachian forest reserve act.
The states which have so far COM
plete1 plans for receiving a share of
the money appropriated under the law.
are Maine. $4,000; Vermont. $1,000,
New Hampshire. $1,000; New Jersey.
$1,000; and Wisconsin. $4,000.
The money is to be used exclusively
for the employment of patroimen. To
obtain the money each state must
agree to expend a like amount during
the same period, and the plans for the
fire protection must receive the ap-
prevail of the department of agricul-
ture. AS only 100000 was appropriated
for this purpose this year the officials
of the forest service have decided to
limit to $4,000 the amount given any
one state. 4
Similar agreements are now pending
with Connecticut. Massachusetts
Maryland and Minnesota.
