Just word on conservation OF fuel.
IL the forest fires which ordinarily oc-
cur in Florida this spring could be
prevented there is harry any way of
estimating the enormous amount of
fuel that would be conserved. BURN
ing the woods" is a most destructive
practice anyway. Some livestock men
have been misguided into the doctrine
that such a practice is beneficial 70
open range stock. Very old people all
tell us that years ago before the de-
structive practice was so universal
there were much better cattle and
hogs in Florida, and the losses from
various causes were much less. I'm
less the arm of the law will intervene
Florida this year will burn up enough
fuel in the forests to have supplied
thousands of fireless homes.
