OLD GLASS CAUSE
Of FOREST FIRES
st. Paul Man Thinks Focusing
of Sun on Broken Bottles
Often Starts Flames.

That forest fires are often caused by
the focusing of the suns rays on the
broken glass of bottles thrown into
underbrush by picnickers, Is the theory
of James McC. Smith, OF st. Pau.
Mimi, now In Washington. He believes
a crusade now being opened by the
Forestry Bureau will go far toward
eliminating the confiagrations OF unde-
termined origin.
'.The agents of the Forestry Service,
I am told, have been instructed to bend
their efforts to prevent the throwing OF
bottles into underbrush or along the
roads or trails leading through forest
country" says Mr.. Smith.
THE inspectors are convinced that
MANY of these fires for which they can
not account are started by the focusing
Of the suns rays upon bottles or brok-
en- glass, which act as burning
glass" igniting dry leaves or grass
"In practically every numbering camp
there are men who are fond OF their
drink, and they are careless where they
throw their discarded TASKS or beer
bottles. This heavy glass, cast into
bundle of dry leaves, will catch the rays
of the sun and start fire just as John
Smith, | believe II was. started one for
the Indians with his pocket magnifying

Pertinent Inquiry and Suggestion

A bill has been introduced in the
legislature TO make possible $50, 600 aid
for county agricultural schools. Atpre-
sent Vernon is being taxed to help nine
schools in counties with other resources,
and isn't it about time in a county de-
pendent almost solely on agriculture for
its prosperity, to get aid from outside
tax to enable US to learn how to grow
better crops and raise the price of our
farms, and make better towns? We
have now two county farms of 400
acres costing about S35 per acre, worth
now SIS, profit of SIG, 600 We there
fore have suitable place and land for
agricultural school without buying.
While this ma ter was being dis
cussed in the Cen soR two years ago,
Eau Claire and Kc 1osha counties grab
bed the two renal ling chances, nor did
the farmers of those counties object to
having the buildings built near or in
the county seat of those counties, but
kept in mind the main point---that sine
all the wealth comes from the soil, we
should be progressive and help better
the condition of it. 1t is in such places
that these other counties have profited
in land value the most. w. e. B.
