IMPORTANT DISCUSSIONS
OCCUPY FORESTRY MEET
Most Enthusiastic Conference
Ever Held, is Opinion of Dis
trict Forester and Officials

"One of the most enthusiastic meet
ings ever held by the forest wardens
of Garrett county," was the way in
which H. C. Buckingham, district
forester, characterized the annual
two day conference of wardens held
last Friday and Saturday at the Court
house, Oakland. Approximately 43
warflens were present exclusive OF the
State men and visitors, and everyone
had a part in the discussion of the
various questions, Mr.. Buckingham
stated.
On Friday morning F. W. Besley,
state forester, showed how the depart
ment of forestry had grown since
1906. and he traced it's development
through the various stages. He gave
entire credit for this rise to the forest
wardens.
j. C. Renninger, States attorney,
and J. E. Harmed, both g We splendid
addresses, and John R. Curry, assist
ant forester, spoke on Forest Fire
Prevention" In the afternoon the
suppression of fires was taken up ana
Mr.. Curry led round table discus
sion in which all wardens had part.
F. B. Trenk, extension forester, spoke
on Windbreakes and forest planting IN
Garrett county and showed the advan-
tages of having them here. II. Y.
Forsythe, district warden of the
neighboring section in West Virginia,
smoke a few words on fire prevention
measures.
Fire Fighting Taken Up
Saturday morning the question OF
actual fire fighting was taken up. Dla-
grams and charts were used in the
discussion and methods of attacking
fires was explained. Mr.. Besley again
spoke to the group.
All wardens are to be furnished
3 with green signs with white letters,
telling where to report fires. The
signs will be 10 by Is feet and are
to be distributed within the next few
weeks.
An interesting feature of the con-
ference was a contest on the State
forestry laws. Dan Green, Swanton,
showed the best proficiency in this
and was awarded first place. He is a
smoke chaser for the Bittinger tower,
Pete Michael was second.
Tower Being Moved
The Thayerville Tower, about five
miles north of Oakland, is now in the
process of being moved approximate
ly the distance of a mile, to the top
of the mountain. The tower will be
60 feet higher, Mr.. Buckingham SAID,
and will protect 25 percent more coun-
try. A tower will also be constructed
on Dams Rock, Allegany county III
the near future.
Mr.. Buckingham has asked that all
persons use caution and extreme care
during this season, because of the
danger of forest fires. The dry leaves
and grass spread fire quickly, and
care must be exercised in burnin
brush.
