MARYLAND COUNTIES SUFFER
FROM ANNUAL FOREST FIRES

MN TOODLAND fires in the counties

sides of the Potomac river

aggregate loss for a long period of
years is impressive. The phrase "for-

such fires has been the subject of nu-
merous government reports and the
Inspiration of various federal and state
plans for prevention.
Because Of the magnitude of the forest
fires which figure in the news dis
patches and in the government reports,
the usual run of persons look upon the
local woodland fires as trivial. The
county around Washington where the
woodland fire loss seems to be great

seem that the average annual loss in
fences and timber burned amounts to
something like $4,000 and yet this
is only a small part of the actual loss.
and in other years greater. In estimat
ing the loss in dollars and cents the
loss resulting in the decreased produc-
tive power of the forest is not in
cluded. and If this should be calculated
and added the forest fire loss in this
neighbor county of Washington would
be SO heavy as to- attract the attention

past twenty years. according to compu-
tation made by the Maryland forestry
board, cut down the producing capacity
OF the forest at least one-third.
1t has been pointed out by the state
board of forestry that the effects of
fire are: First, the burning of the
leaves and litter on the ground, which
are needed to conserve the moisture,
protect the seed and to fertilize the
soil, second, the destruction of the
seed and the young seeding that have
already started and which are so es-
sential for the renewal of the forest;
third, the burning of the cambium or
the living wood of young trees on the

wood to decay. The tree becomes stunt
ed, decay enters the wood and grad
ually works it's way up into the trunk,
rendering the tree practically worth
less; and fourth, a severe fire in the
brush, left by logging operations, often
kills all the trees that remain, entail
ing total loss of growing stock.
The principal causes of these wood
land fires are railroad locomotives,
careless burning of brush. hunters and
careless smokers. Under the Maryland
state forest laws any individual or COR
ing a fire that Injuries anothers lands

both. Since the law was enacted in
1906 forest fires have been much less
frequent. but the loss. especially during
long dry autumns and dry springs. is
still heavy. Most of the woodland fires
occur in the fall, while the ground is
Uttered with dry leaves. or in the early
spring before the new leaves appear.

The system is comparable best to the
