SOUTHERN FOREST FIRES
FOR 1926 NUMBER 56,643
1Q,OOO,O00 Acres of Land Burned
Over, but Drop of 3,24O,OOO
Is Recorded.
By the Assoelated Press.


Forest fires in the nine Southern
States comprising the main Southern
pine region numbered 56.643 last year,
according to reports made by State
foresters to the Forest Service. These
fires burned over an aggregate of 49,.
O00, 900 acres of forest land.
While the reports show an increase
OF 10,26i In total number Of fires, the
acreage burned over was 3,240, 900 less
than in 1925.
The increase in number Of fires re-
ported was declared due mainly to
more complete reports from States
which had no adequate reporting
agencies in 1925.
Incendiarism Is given as the prin.
cipal cause-about 20 per cent--of the
fires, which can doubtle. be largely
attributed to promiscuous burning OF
the woods, said the Forest Service.
Brush burning and smokers each
caused something less than 20 per
cent and the remaining causes In
order were camp fres, numbering, rail-
roads. lightning and miscellaneous
causes, with something over 10 pei
cent unknown.
