Many of the States have made a be-
ginning toward carrying out all three
of these essentials, but no State has
the full program under way.
At present 33 States have forestry
departments and 90 States have estab-
iished fire prevention system which
permit them to take part in the fed
eral cooperative fund.
Maryland spent 81 in 1924 for
fire prevention work on 1900 900 acres
of State and private timber, or a rate
of seven-tenths of a cent per acre.
Adequate protection, it was estimated,
would involve an expenditure of 8
cents per acre, or a total of $66, 900
annually.
Virginia spent S44,248 for fire pro-
lection covering SS.870,00 acres of
