EFFICIENT FOREST
FIRE PROTECTION
Smaller Percentage of Forest Area
Burned Over and Expense of Fire
Fighting Relatively Less.

The system Of forest fire prevention
in use in Vermont has now been given
sufficient trial to demonstrate its efiei-
eney, and the, results are most eneour-
aging, although there is, of course.
room for Improvement Not only has
smaller percentage of Vermont s
forest area been burned over during
the past few years than in adjoining
states, but the expense of fire fighting
has been relatively less.
The law provides that the expense
Of fighting forest fires is borne bv the
town in which it occurs. but If in any
one year this expense exceeds FIVE per
cent of the grand list the balance is
paid by the state. In the unorganized
towns the state bears the whole ex-
pense, since the taxes come to the
state. In the. year 1908, before the es-
adjustment of the Forestry depart
ment the state of Vermont spent So
o39-32 in this way. During the seven
years since the establishment of the
department the total cost for this
work has been $5,565.15 or an average
of 1895 a year. There have been in
this period, one or two years as dry
as 1908 when the fire danger was Just
as great. The difference in expense has
been largely due to the perfecting of
the organization, the appointment of
efficient fire wardens who have put out
fires at less expense, and have kept
careful watch of the bills incurred.
1t is also due to the system of fire
lookout stations and patrols which has
been established in the past few years.
it being the policy of the department
to spend an ounce for prevention rath-
er than pound for cure. Assistance
in this work has been received from
the federal government on consider
alton of the state S spending from its
forestry appropriation about $4,000 a
year.
If the reduced damage through fires
is added TO the amount saved in fire
fighting it leaves little doubt as to the
relative value of fire prevention and
fire fighting.

SUMMARY OF TRADE
Manufacturing Centers Handling Larg-
er Business Than Year Ago
Paper Trade Heavy.

BURLINGTON, March Is Brad
street s Vermont office reports the
manufacturing centers in the state are
handling larger volume of business
than was reported a year ago, and
that retail trade in those cities and
towns feel the stimulating effect of
labor fully employed. Among the coun
try towns, the usual quiet period is
experienced. Merchants stocks. how
ever, are in good shape. There has
been a noticeable active demand for
articles affected by war conditions
where advanced prices have obtained.
Among the paper mills in the state.
the demand is heavy. New customers
are placing orders for goods, but
among some of the mills, aside from
taxing care of their regular trade, diff
hculty is experienced in trying to in
crease production. Several extraordin-
airy factors still cause inconvenience
in obtaining raw material, Prices ON
raw material continue to advance with
corresponding advance in manufac-
tured product. The prices in this line
are not out Of proportion to other
articles as is noted by the new high

prices.
The high prices of raw material
used by paper mills is decidedly a han

some time and that there cannot be

near future. Manufacturers ofs tissue

j Complaint is received from the larg-
er producers of honey, indicating a
smaller demand for the high grade do
nestle product. The reason for a fall
ing off in this Lille is attributed to war
conditions causing a closing of some
European points which have under
1 normal conditions taken greater
part of Cuban and Jamaica honey
which is reported as a low-priced
! article, the result being that this has
been placed in the market against do
nestle grades. s

"Every shoe dealer in Brattleboro.
las well as elsewhere, must shortly do
one of two things. He must either
make substantial advances in the al.
ready high prices of shoes or 90 out of
business. That, in short, is the situa-
ton brought about in the trade by the
Iamazing increases in the prices of
leather due to the scarcity of suitable
hides, the heavy demand for leather
from abroad as well as for domestic
consumption and the enormous increase
in prices of dyestuffs and all tanning
materials.
This is the statement made by a
Boston shoe manufacturer who visited
this town recently
The leather situation now obtain
ing is unprecedented. There are prac-
tically no leather statesmen on the road
for the reason that there is no leather
to sell. Manufacturers of leather
goods win not quote prices to the
trade. No one knows what day will
bring forth. Instances have been ma
merous during the past few months and
especially during the past few weeks,
of leather prices increasing substan-
tally over night.
