FOREST SERVICES
 FIRE PLANS MADE
 FOR COMING SUMMER
Forest Service in New Mexico Has Already Made Its Plans for Protecting Forests Durinu the Summer Season.

WASHINGTON. May 27-Owing f., a falling on since August of nearly
 30 per cent in shipments of creosote
 from England and Germany. whence
 comes all but small part of the i'm ported oil used by wood preserving plants in this country, American man. uiacturers have taken steps which. says report compiled by the forest l service, it is estimated will increase
 production of the domestic article by about % per cent. The imported oil
 ordinarily forms about 65 per cent of the total used in the United States. where creOsote is the most import.
 ant wood preservative.
 The statistics gathered show that
 wood preserving is one of the most
 rapidly advancing industries in the country. In 1895 there were fifteen plants in the United States: in 1914 there were 122 plants of all kinds. ! 100 being of the pressure cylinder type. Ninety-four of these plants last
 years used more than 79 million gal ] Ions of creosOte oil. more than 27 million pounds of dry zinc chloride.
 and nearly 21l million gallons of oth ] CT conservatives, such as coal tar and crude oil. treating a total of nearly 160 million cubic feet of timber. an increase Of about million cubic feet over 1913, and of 30 million cubic fec over 1912.
 The most important consumers are
 the large plants in which railroad ties
 are treated. The preservatives ma terially lengthen the ties period of service, lessen the labor cost involv-
 ed by renewal, and decrease the drain
 upon the forests due to tie-cutting
 To some extent the treatment of fence posts and other forms of far mtimber
 is being taken up, an inexpensive ap- paratus and method having been de. yised by the Department of Agricul- ture; but as yet the use of wood pre- servatives by farmers is on too small a scale to have any importance in the total, while the practice of treating telephone poles is in it's incipiency in this country.
 With the rapid advance of thisI industry as a whole" says the report. 'the choice of preservatives has beer fairly well established, but the kinds and classes of materials to be treated need development along certain lines. In Germany and other European coun- | tries practically all cross-ties laid by the railroads are treated with chem icals or preserving oils. In this coun- | try but % per cent of the ties purchas- ed by the railroads are subjected to | such treatment The number of poles | treated in this country is a very small ! per cent of total in use"
