FOREST FIRES HARMFUL.
They Destroy the Fertility Of the Soil,
Says Department of Agriculture.


A definite relation between the amount
of humus, or vegetable matter in the
soil, and its crop producing power as
shown by yields of corn, is given in fig
ures just issued by the department of
agriculture. The department therefore
advocates the use of various methods to
introduce the required humus into the
soil.
Experts of the forest service state that
the soils of the whole country, and par
ticularly of the South, have lost and
are losing immense amounts of this
source of soil fertility through forest
fires which apparently do little immedi-
ate damage but rob the soil OF accumula-
tons of humus. In many parts of the
South, land is being cleared for farming,
and where such forest land has not been
burned, there is large percentage of
vegetable matter, which provides con-
siderable fertility, and good texture.
Moreover this soil has a greater capacity
to absorb and retain moisture, and thus
is less likely to be washed and quilted
under heavy rains. For these reasons,
leaving out of account the damage to
standing timber, the departments au-
thorities are agreed that fire should be
rigidly kept out Of woodlands.
