SPORTSMEN HELP
Reminded Of the Fire Danger by
Forest Service

Because of the fact that many
forest fires are set through the
carelessness of hunters, campers
and others who go into the woods
for recreation, the forest service
has taken up with manufacturers
of firearms and ammunition the
question of cooperative arrange
ment through which purchasers
and users of guns and cartridges
shall be reminded of the fire dan
ger.
1t has been pointed out that in
the lumber regions of the north
west, for example, manufacturers
and other business men, have been
having printed or stamped on
their stationery and pay checks
various crisp, catchy statements
about the loss which the public
suffers through the decreased de-
mand for labor and decreased
money in circulation if timber,
which is the source of many of the
northwest's industries, is burned
up.
1t has also been pointed out that
in the, east particularly many for
est fires are started by the careless
ness of hunters, who drop burning
matches, cigar or cigarette stumps,
or pipe Goals in the woods. or per-
haps build a fire which is left
burning when the hunter goes on.
Forest fires of course greatly in
jure the interests of sportsmen by
robbing the birds of their proper
cover. They also impair the food
supply of both birds and big game,
through the destruction of the un-
dergrowth which furnishes browse,
berries and other food.
The eastern woods are exposed
to the danger from fires principally
in the spring and fall, when most
of the trees are bare and the leaves
on the ground are dry. The
spring fires, many of which are
due to trout fishermen, may destroy
the eggs of game birds and even
the young bird themselves. Since
trout fishermen are likely to hunt
in the fall, the same individuals, if
careless, may be source of danger
at both seasons
1t is suggested that tine manu-
features of arms and ammunition
ought to be sufficiently interested
in the matter of perpetuation of
game to be willing to help in the
campaign against forest fires. This
help may come through the print
ing of some brief fire warning on
cartridge boxes or some slip to go
with any hunting or camping sup
plies which are furnished. Several
manufacturers have already ex-
pressed their interest in the matter
and their willingness to help.
