THE FORESTS OF CHARLES COUNTY.


The forests Of Charles County form
one OF Its most valuable assets. Out
Of total land area of 290,546 acres,
over Ill 900 acres, or 50 per cent, being
In woodland. The mature timber in
this area Is rapidly being converted
into ties, pulpwood and lumber, tnere-
by bringing a steady supply of money
into the county, both for stumpage and
for labor. The more accessible sup
plies are being rapidly cut of, but far
more destructive than the combined
efforts of the timber operators,
Is the annual toll of forest growth ia
ben by forest fires. Not only do these
fires damage mature timber, but they
also kill out right the young trees, the
tlmber of the future.
II Is difficult to put a fair value on
the ycrcg timber annually DESTROYED
throughout the county by forest fires,
but it is believed that an annual loss
of $1,000 would be a conservative
figure for Charles County.
Tho growing scarcity OF timber
throughout the entire Eastern United
States has made doubly imperative
the necessity Of conserving all availa-
BILE timber supplies in Maryland.
The State Board of Forestry is the
department. of the State of Maryland
charged with this work OF protecting
the forests from fires, the work OF fire
suppression and lighting being actual
ly done by the Forest Wardens, the
philosophical men in every county
who have been and are still willing 10
TO give of their time and efforts for the
suppression of fires in spite of the
meagre pay that the State is permitted
10 give.
Charles County is not as we'll COW
cred with wardens as is necessary for
the efficient protection of the forests,
but in Messrs.J. S. Chapman. OF Spring
Hill; d. V. Compton, of Pisgah; V. l..
Moore, of White Plains; r. Smith
Swami, of Port Tobacco, and T. Spen-
Ger Turner, of Malcolm, the State feels
that it has a nucleus of men who will
go far in keeping down forest fires.
On Wednesday, the 10th, a confer
ence with j. A. Copes, Assistant For
ester. in charge of FIRE protection. was
held in the Court House at La Plata,
at which time plans for combating the
spring fires were gone over. Messrs.
Chapman. Moore and Swami were in
attendance, as well as County Agent
j. p. Burdette.
In the interest of fire protection in
Charles County. the State Board OF
Forestry makes an urgent appeal TO all
residents of the county to assist these
wardens in keeping down fires.
Among other things be careful in
burning of new ground; see that tine
fire does not get away, but if 1t does
get beyond your control, get word to
the nearest warden at once, in order
that the fire may be checked
The Maryland law is very clear on
the point of brush burning fires. The
minute 1t gets off your property you
are liable, not only for damages, but
costs Of extinguishing il as well.

Death of Highly Re-
speetsd cOIored Man.

Theodore Boarman, one OF the most
highly respected colored men OF this
county, died at his late home near Lo-
THAR Thursday Of last week, aged about
50 years.
'Doryn Boarman, as he known, was
one OF the few survivors of slavery
days now living-a slave of the late
Washington A. Posey. Having been
liberated by his master at the outbreak
of the Civil War. he Joined the North
ern army and served until the end of
the conflict. After the war he returned
TO the county and began in an humble
way the struggles OF life, succeeding in
surrounding himself with home and
rearing a family who are emulating
the examples for honesty and polite
ness set by their father.
He vas quiet and unassuming In his
manners and held in high respect and
esteem by all who knew him-white and
colofed alike. He held in great APP
probation the friends OF his early life
and, to the children OF his old master,
he remained faithful unto death.
His example Is one worthy Of emnla.
ton by every colOred man in the coun.
iva priceless heritage TO his family
and a credit to this race.
His funeral took place Saturday and
his remains were laid to rest at St
Thomas Church, where he was faith
full worshipper all Of his life.
