Of the, national forestry service.
In compliance with suggestion by
President Harding, governors OF the
various states have issued proclama-
tions calling upon. the people to take
part in the educational campaign to
prevent forest fires and other destruc-
ton Of timber.
To Minnesotans the campaign
against careless waste of timber re-
serve is of particular significance, &C
cording to State Forester Cox. The
forest fires two years ago that wiped
out thousands of acres Of valuable
cumberland and caused scores or
deaths in the northeast section OF
the state were perhaps the most dam
aging in the history of the country.
Every public agency has been asked
by Governor Preus to make this a
week Of earnest endeavor to educate
everyone against carelessness in
handling fires. Campers particular
ly are warned in public notices to be
certain that camp fires are completely
extinguished before leaving them.
School children will be told OF the
dangers Of forest fires during the
week.
The federal forest service spends
$1,000, 900 annually in detecting and
suppressing forest fires and Minnesota
has appropriated $4,000 for state
forestry service this year., ....... u.
