AGAINST
FOREST FIRES
Prot. Foster. a, 4 N. College Forester.
Discusses Rebuilding Texas
Forests.

Adequate protection against forest
fires and a better understanding Of
the value OF the pine timbers of East
Texas are cited by J. n. Foster. state
forester. forester 20 the agricultural
experiment station and professor Of
forestry at the A. 4 NJ. College as
the two prime essentials In the re-
building Of the forest lands in that
section OF Texas.
For the past two weeks Mr.. Foster
and ]. G. Peters. chief Of state CO
operation In the government forest
service have been making a study OF
the East Texas forests. The purpose
of the trip was largely TO determine
the extent OF damage done to standing
timber and young growth by grass and
forest fires.
Under a federal law. known as the
Weeks act. the government forest
service is authorized to aid states
which have an organized forestry de-
partment, in their efforts 10 prevent
forest fires Mr.. Foster. who was
chosen by the A. 4 NJ. College board
OF directors as state forester In ac-
cordanee with law passed by the last
Legislature, will turn his attention to-
wards helping to prevent forest fires.
With standing timber being cut so
rapidly unless efforts are exerted TO
prevent disastrous forest fires Texas
forests soon will be depleted. says Mr..
Foster. In addition to precautions
against disastrous fires young forests
must be encouraged and the restock.
ing Of land with young pine some day
will be well repaid. Second growth
pine had a remarkably rapid growth
and In from fifteen to twenty years
this pine will have value perhaps
greater than that Of any virgin growth
today" said Mr.. Foster in discussing
East Texas conditions. In northeast.
ern states pasture and second growth
pine has a stumpage value OF Sc to
ST. and over per thousand feet. II
is not unreasonable TO expect that the
value will be half as much in East
Texas when the old growth is ex-
hausted. 4
In the hilly counties where short
leaf pine prevails and reproduction Is
easily secured by seeds scattered from
the old trees. the only obstacle to the
development Of future pine forests is
fire. Some destructive fires have oc.
CURED in the sections we visitd.
Many of the young stands examined
and found to be badly damaged by
fire would make forests Of merchant.
able quality in from ten to fifteen
years. Most Of the fires are due TO
carelessness and lack OF appreciation
Of the damage done by these fires.
Growth OF forests does not hamper cul'
tivation OF the soil In fact. danger
from fire decreases as the cultivated
area increases. A happy combination
Of cultivated acres and areas de-
. voted TO growing timber Of the best
quality means prosperity.
Mr.. Foster will be glad TO confer
with land owners Of any section con
corning the timber problem. He may
be reached at College Station.
