TAXING A CALAMITY

Taxing a calamity, baking it pro-

form of taxation that wins general

Lake States forest service expert.
ment station, with headquarters in
st. Paul. is taxing 10000 calamities
to obtain statistical information that
will be helpful to present and future
generations of foresters In that re-
gion. Under his supervision record
of 1e,e0e forest fires in the lake
states are being carefully tahulat-
ed for the facts they may yield as
to the forest fire menace and the
best way to guard against 1t.
Although work on these past
fires is Just beginning. it is already
clear that the lake states have two
distinct seasons Of bad fires to be
prepared for every season, and a
third equally disastrous in years. Of
unusual drouth. In the spring after
the snow has melted and before the
grass and other vegetation has leaf
ed out, and. In the fall after leaves
have fallen and the ground cover
has been killed by frost, are b
two seasons Of extreme fire danger.
At these times fires spread quick
ly, particularly where logging has
recently been under way and h e
ground is covered with dried out
debris. The third season of dan
ger is the unusually dry summer.
when much of the ground cover is
dry and forms ready finder Is
The data ob!ainea from study of
these fires will, it is stated. be ex-
ceedingly helpful in arranging for
the work of protective organizations
in the forests and in meeting emer-
geneies caused by sudden drouths.
