JOIN IN PROTECTING FORESTS,
Federal Government and States Unite
in Guarding Against Fires.

The end of the present calendar year
will mark the close of the first season of
experimental work In cooperative fire
protection between the federal govern
ment and the state of Maryland The
government. under the Weeks bill for the
purchase of the Appalachian forest re-
serve, is authorized also to enter into
agreements with the several states to
spend an amount similar to the amount
the state appropriates for forest fire
protection.
Arrangements of this sort have been
entered into with ten states besides
Maryland. They are Maine New Hamp-
shire. Vermont Massachusetts, Con-
necticut, New Jersey, New York, Min
nesota, Wisconsin and Oregan. The
states have to sumbit maps of the forest
area to be protected and a scheme for
patrollng the district. The Weeks bill
allows 100000 for this service the first
year, but the Secretary, OF Agriculture
decided that he would limit the expend-
ture to $4,000 for any one state. The
amount spent In Maryland was only
StOO but is is believed that with the other
states that are entering into the agree
ment this means the beginning Of a reg
ular and effective fire patrol system for
the whole country.
