But perhaps the most important func-

called upon TO perform is the protection
OF these vast wooded areas from fire.
While the seriousness of forest fires j.
generally known and conceded. it is not
realized that losses. including those Of
forest products and young timber, are far
in excess of the annual consumption Of
timber for commercial purposes. This
loss becomes more apparent with the real
izaton that the total fire damage includes
rot only the material that i consumed at
the time Of the conhagration, but that

teroration and decay Of timber which was
not actually destroyed at the time the
