ant sterile and barren condition OF the
woodland. upon which the farmer de-
pended for future farming industries. His
first cleared lands had already become
too badly Worn out for cultivation
through the crude agricultural standards
which had prevailed
Another evil result was the Milling up
Of the woodland with a scrub growth OF
coppice which had stooled out from sue
cessive burnings into numerous sprouts.
These SO divided the strength of the
original root that in many instances good
merchantable stands were reduced TO
brushland. The run-off was so rapid in
this burned over region that shortly after
a rainy season the streams dropped down
90 low that water was not always pro-
durable for stock In many instances the
springs went dry and the soil was
parched and baked by exposure to the
sun-and this in region in which nature
had provided heavy forest and vege-
table cover.
These conditions confronted the Officers
of the Arkansas National Forest when
IL was put under administration in 1905.
Although they were discouraging from
the standpoint of getting immediate OF
early results. they presented an especially
favorable field for testing the efficiency
Of methods and devices which had long
been the subject of specialized study The
first step was to try and mould popular
sentiment so that the People Woulo

marked change Of public sentiment In
regard to woods burning.
However no amount OF cooperation
could wholly prevent those fires whlch
arise principally from certain common
though elusive, causes. These Include
sharks from coal-burning locomotives,
the careless use of matches or the emoers
of fires left by camping parties and
hunters. the accidental escape OF fire
from farmers clearings, incendiary acts
Of irresponsible persons without regard
for the law or public sentiment, and

Among the most interesting measures
adopted to insure successful fire protec-

Novel System Protects Woods Against Flames

The old means OF fighting the hres had
not been very successful. and the methods
of patrol had been inadequate, consisting
as they did OF trips along roads at the
bottom Of valleys from which little could
be seen. with an occasional detour 10 the
top Of ridge or mountain peak.
1t was seen at once that some way
must be found OF determining from as

TO decide upon the manner OF attack ana

This suggested the erection Of lookout
