GREAT FOREST
ACREAGE LAID
LOW BY FIRES
Season Of 1924 One Of
Most Disastrous in
History

one-third of one per cent Of the
total acreage of government land
within the national forests, or ELL
S9S acres were swept by fire dur
Ing the summer Of 1924 according
TO Chief Forester Greeley's annual
report. This is nearly double the
area burned over in 1929. hut is
little more than half that burned in
1917 and less than %one.fourth the
acreage burned in 1913, the last
TWO being years of outstanding fire
hazard. Outside Of California. the
losses were little II any more than
the average for the precsling four
years, and We're surprisingly small

gions, was comparable to 1917 and

which occurred in the national for.
ests up to September 80, b,27e or
about four-fifths were extlnguished
before reaching 10 acres in extent.

that methods of prevention and sur.

ester in the regions of highest loss.
As n result. improvements and re.

specific lines.
The largest single source of man.
caused fires was smokers. Reduc,

the lessons brought out by the
