Origin OF Protection Week

The idea of Forest Protection Week
originated in the Pacific Northwest in
1920, and was largely observed that
year throughout the West. Fifteen
years ago the bulk of public senti-
ment against forest fires was in the
East; today it is in the West, where
81 per cent of the Nations remaining
timber supply is now located. In 1921
the observance of Forest Protection
Week was made nationwide by a
proclamation by the President The
results were noteworthy. In % States
similar proclamations were issued by
the Governors, and wide publicity was
given by the press.

ANNUAL FIRE d A M A G E

President Harding has issued a
proclamation naming the week of
April 1922 (next week. as Forest
Protection Week when it is hoped to
bring home to every man. woman and
child in the United States his respon-
sibility in protecting the forests of
the country against fires.
The week is to eliminate in the
Golden Anniversary of Arbor Day
which will probably not he Observed
in this state as Arbor Day ceremon-
les and tree-planting have already
taken place.
Maryland made a large contribu-
ton to forest protection recently when
it obtained the cooperation of the
railroads operating in the State to
consent to a safety strip" along the
right of way.

Vast Areas Burned

The area of forest land swept by
fire each year is, broadly speaking,
twice the size of the area cut over an
nually by logging operations. Forest
Service records for the past five years
show an average yearly total OF 32,500
forest fires, burning over 100000
acres and causing an annual damage
of $17 100000. For the period 1916
1920, inclusive, the total number of
fires reported was 10000, covering
Sc, 4SS,00 acres and doing a damage
of $S5,715,750. Over so per cent of
these fires were due to human agen-
cies. and could have been prevented
through the exercise of care on the
part of citizens.
Fully one-seventh of all forest fires,
according to the Forest Service, are
due to railroads. Nearly as many
start from careless burning of brush
by farmers, and incendiarism is a
close third. Campers, including all
pleasure seekers in the woods, hold
fourth place, causing nearly one
eighth of all forest fires. One of the
principal offenders is the careless
smoker. particularly the user of tail
or made" cigarettes. LAUNDERING
stands fifth as a fire hazard, although
in some States it often becomes ma
jor cause of fire. About one-tenth of
all forest fires are started by light
