The forest service is a part OF our
Government that has charge of most
OF the forests where so much timber
cohes from that Is used in building
houses, schools, railroads, fences,
and many other things
The Forest Service has men who
look after the trees and grass on the
forests and put out fires. These men
arc called Forest Officers.
The Forest Service has fire-tool
boxes placed in different parts OF the
forests where they can easily be
found, and when q fire il located,
tools for fighting the fire can be
found in these boxes.
1t is the duty OF all citizens 20
help these men put out fires when
asked, because the trees on the Ma
tional Forests belong to the Govern
ment, and each OF us, boy or girl.
men and women, are q part OF the
Government. and it is our duty to
protect the Forests from fire so there
will always be lumber for future use.
This Is how we can help protect
the forests from fires:
Build small fires only.
Do not build fire near a log or
tree.
Do not throw away burning match
es. cigars, cigarettes or tobacco.
Never leave fire until you are
sure II Is out, put IL ont with dirt
or water
Put ont any fire you find or noti-
y the nearest Forest Officer.
Always take time to warn people
who seem careless with fire.
Post fire warnings in the forests.

deal can be done to prevent fires and
preventing them from getting start
ed is much easier than putting them
out after it has big start.
We can prevent fires from start
ing by being careful with fire while
we are in the forests and by not
building campfires around old logs
dead trees or where there is dead
grass or other dangerous places
where fire would start easily, and
by not throwing burnt matches, cigar
or cigarette stubs on the ground
before they are entirely out. l think
ii would be a good plan for men
while in the forest, to put their burnt
matches, cigar or cigarette stubs In
their pockets until they got home
then they would not start a fire.
If you see a forest fire you should
put 1t out. If you can not put 1t out
you can report 1t to the forest offic-
ers and then help them put 1t out.

the forest you could warn them of
the danger of fires. Every time you
build camp fire you should stay
with it until 1t is entirely put out.

should take pride in protecting
them.
Just think! Over one-tenth OF the
timber OF the United States stands
In Idaho. yet the state Itself has no
officers to protect It's forests. All
that il done in fire prevention Ii by
Forests Officers and timber owners.
During the past five years Idaho
has had $500 fires that burned over
1.554,880 acres with a damage OF
S4,O21.6O7.
Here are some more reasons why
we should protect our forests:
We are using timber four times as
fast an IL grows.
All OF our saw-timber will be gone
In fifty years.
Ten years ago, the United States
produced all OF It's pulp-wood. now
twO-thirds of 1t Is shipped in.
Only one-third OF the newspapers
printed In the United States last
year was printed on Aroducts OF
American forests.
Fire destroyed over $4,000. 200
worht of timber In the United States
each year.
Over one-half of the fires OF the
United States are caused by people
in one way or another. and yet few
realize the danger OF fire.
A good way to educate young peo-
ple In forestry In to teach II In all
schools, then we shall all have some
idea OF the great value of the forests
whether we are living in the forests
or In tha city.
1t is careless campers and hunters
from the cities who cause many for
est fires. for they little realize tho
value OF the forests or the danger
of fire.
When a fire burns the trees in the
forests It not only burns the big trees
but kills the little ones and for many
years there will be no trees OF any
kind and the money which Govern
ment should have received for the
timber Is gone forever.
Let us all do our best In prevent
Ing our countries timber from fire.
