FIRE WASTE GREAT IN WEST
VIRGINIA.

Charleston, October 1.-The SER
iousness of the increasing fire waste
in West Virginia and the nation is
very forcibly brought to public atten-
ton in proclamation issued this
week by Governor Howard M. Gore,
who designates the week of October
4-10 as Fire Prevention Week for the
state. The text of the proclamation
follows:
at is shown by statistics that, at
least, three-fourths of all fires in the
United States are caused by acts of
negligence, or carelessness. and are
strictly preventable. This being
true, the constantly mounting fire
waste must be considered serious
menace to our progress and prospect
ty, and its reduction a problem that
should engage the earnest attention
of every citizen Of West Virginia.
''The fire losses in state and nation
for 1924 topped all previous records,
the per capita amount for this coun-
try being eleven times greater than
the average of all the countries of
Europe. More distressing still, in
the United States last year nearly
| $4,000 persons were burned to death
and more than 10000 were injured
I by fire, so per cent. of these being
of the dependent class, namely,
mothers. children, the sick in hos
/ pitfalls and unfortunates in state in
stitutions.
'fWhile the exercise of the greatest
possible care to prevent the loss of
! life and property through fire or
other preventable causes should not
be limited to any particular season,
but should be a matter of daily con-
Germ to every citizen, | am thorough
ly in sympathy with the observance
of Fire Prevention Week to impress
more distinctly upon the public con-
seriousness the magnitude of our fire
waste. to the end that conditions may
be improved and the carelessness sc
largely responsible for that waste
eliminated.
therefore, I, Howard NJ. Gore
Governor of West virginia, do here
by proclaim the week of October a
10, 1925, which includes the 54th an
niversary of the great Chicago fire
of October 9. 1871, as Fire Proven
! ton Week for this state, and call up
! on the people individually, and IL
thelf civic ORGANIZATIONS, Scnoois AM
churches. to take an active part il
the observance by cleaning up fir
hazards in their respective communi
ties. and in doing their utmost, no
only during the week set apart, Blu
theyear around, to promote the de
velopment of careful habits and i'm
provements in the physical make u
$ of our communities. Fire losses ar
g in effect tax on every business an
t every man, woman and child in tn
S United States, and it is fully as i'm
e portant to conserve resources as it
!. to create them"

Field Meetings to
Consider FIR Os t
Damage to Trees

w. r. Schoonover, extension spe-
cialist in citricuture, has just re-
turned to Berkeley after 4 visit to
. Imperial Valley, where he conferred
with local representatives of the
farm advisor S office in reference to
the citrus program for 1928. After
making rather a hastv survey of
the valley conditions, a program was
drawn up which contains great
number of demonstration meetings,
that will undoubtedly be of great
interest TO local growers.
The first set of meetings will be
held in the valley on Thursday and
Friday, March } and &. These
meetings will deal primarily with
the treatment of young trees which
were injured by frost during this
last winter. The damage done to
these one year old trees varies 4
great deal with different localities
and different soil and water condi-
tions. An attempt will be made to
show the growers the best way to
bring the trees back, after they
have been affected by the various
degrees of frost damage.
\ great deal of information was
secured by different members of
the extension service during the
freeze of 1929 as to best methods of
handling damaged trees, and this in
formation can best be placed in the
hands of the growers through the
medium of field meetings, where
actual demonstrations of operations
may be conducted.
Schedule of meetings are:
Thursday, March ). 10 Il. m. +.
b. Holt grove, one mile north OF
jasper school.
Thursday, March ). p. m. J.

one half mile south Of McCabc
