Too Much Timber Burned

This has been rather encouraging year for the
United States forest service regards the number
and extent of forest fires. They rather below
normal In the district of Arizona and New Mexico
for instance there have been $40 fires this
The burned about 10000 acres, ap-
prOximatelv so acres for each fire
It is worth noticing that 1876 of the fires in the
COconino forest Of northern Arizona, region greatly
fTequented by summer campers, while there were but
six in the Chiricahua forest of southern Arizona
In 1913 of the years in the southwest for
forest fires, $4,000 burned during sos
fires.
The figures indicate that more fires were started
this than in 1918. One arrives at the conclu
sion that campers careful to guard
against fire than they then. But reduction of
than 40 percent in the burned indicates that
the effectiveness of the forest service in detecting and
lighting fires has been greatly increased. It has in
fact. The system of patrolng the forests has been
improved. Extension of the telephone lines has made
possible great saving in time in reporting fires and
summoning help TO extinguish them. Improvement Of
the roads through of the forests has made it pos
sible to quickly from place to another
IN time Of fire.
The forest service has expressed qualification because
of the better record made this past But when
thinks of 61o fires and 10000 of greatly need
ed timber burned over it IS realized there is still
great room for improvement. The southwest cannot
afford TO lose 10000 acres of wood growth year
through destruction by fire. The camper with match
still stand quantity of instruction before he
