PREPARATIONS MADE FOR
FALL FOREST FIRES

October marks the official OPEN
ing of the fall forest fire season. The
State Department of Forestry is
making every effort to gain the sup
port of the public in effective forest
fire prevention this fall, while at the
same time taking special steps to put
the forest fire control organization in
better shape to handle any situation
that may arise. Four splendid new
forest fire towers, Of all steel con.
struction, are to be placed in service
in various parts of the State for
promptly locating fires. Additional
lookout watchmen have been en-
|ployed to man these structures.
Special smokechasers for investigat-
ing all Smokes" have been increas-
ed to fourteen and special forest de-
tectives will be employed to appre-
bend persons maliciously causing
fires.
Seven district forest wardens serv-
ing separate fire control units of the
State went on duty October /, and
will Immediately assist the forest
wardens Of the State in preparing
for fall fires. Several hundred new
fire rakes, portable pumps, and
special fire control equipment are
being distributed by the district
forest wardens. Repairs are being
made to existing equipment and new
telephpne lines are being extended
to towers in Allegany, Caroline,
Prince George and Wicomico Coun-
ties as well as to the homes of new
forest wardens. Wardens are en-
listing special fire fighting crews in
readiness for fall fires.
District Foresters' offices at Cum
berland, Laurel and Salisbury now
have permanent full-time stenog-
raphers who will receive telephone
calls from towers, fire lines, and
coopretors and will coordinate the
work of the forest wardens and
smoke chasers. Since the spring fire
season last March, fifty new forest
wardens have been commissioned by
Governor Richie in various parts of
the State. Emphasis is being plac ed
on a quick discovery and prompt
attack of all forest fires.
The office of State Forestry F. w.
Besley, Oct. l, notified all districts
to hasten preparations for fall civ
ity. District Foresters were urged
to have all lookout towers in. readi-
ess for opening as soon as falling
leaves and drying winds create a
fire hazard. Persons interested in
fire prevention are being urged by
department employees to take an
active part in the fire prevention
program.

THE COST OF CRIME

In its report on 'The Cost of
Crime" the Wickersham Commits
sion states that Americas crime bill
is well in excess of 1907, 600, 600 a
year. The average per capita cost
OF crime in 800 cities which were
surveyed, was $5.47. The lowest
rate recorded, in Galesburg, Illinois,
was so cents. The highest, in Jersey
City, was $11.3O a year for each
citizen. These facts should make
the public wonder if the pleasure OF
passing new reform" laws is worth
what they cost, not only in actual
money, but in security, freedom and
a stable society.
AS an economy measure the Com
mission recommends a wedding out
of laws, to eliminate unnecessary
and expensive social restrictions.
There is nothing new in this, but it
is well to bring it once more to public
attention. If there is one cause re-
sponsible for the prevalence of
crime, its cost, and the failure of law
enforcement, it is the tremendous
bulk of unnecessary laws on our
statute books.

FINANCIAL RESPONSIBLE
ITY LAW

North Carolina, following the lead
of California and other states, has
adopted a Financial Responsibility
Law for motorists.
The law, of the familiar pattern,
provides that a person failing to
satisfy a judgment shall have his
license suspended until he gives
proof of financial responsibility,
either through an insurance policy
or personal corporate surety bond.
This type of law is finding increas-
ing support throughout the nation,
and it is noteworthy that demand for
unconditional compulsory automo-
bile casualty insurance of the Mas
sachusetts kind, is seldom heard.

JORLESS IN DELAWARE

AS a means of solving the unem-
ployment situation for Wilmington
and the State of Delaware for this
winter, questionnaires will be sent
out by Pierre S. du Pont to practi-
cally the entire population of Della
ware, to ascertain their condition of
employment.
1t is estimated that approximately
25O,O00 questionnaires will be sent
out by Mr.. du Pont. An effort will
be made to send one to every person
over age in Delaware, and in this
way definite information as to the
number of unemployed will be
secured.
In the announcement in regard to
the QUESTIONABLE, made by Mr.. du-
Point, it is urged that all people re-
ceiving cards check off whether they
are employed or not. This will, it is
pointed out, greatly facilitate the
furnishing of employment to those
actually needing it. 1t will make
possible the formation of an accurate
list of unemployed persons in the
state, and thus create fund of in
formation for the state unemploy-
ment relief committee of the
Governor.
From this list it will be possible to
draw men on the various State jobs
that might come up, as well as other
work and thus give the Governor
and his committee information for
Clearing house" for information on
work for the unemployed.

with its congested courts, rising ac-
cident record, faxed claims and in
creased insurance rates has acted as
a warning to other commonwealth.
One can find little fault with FL
nancial Responsibility Law. Its prin-
cipal virtue is that it puts respon-
sibility and cost where it belongs,
on those who cause accidents, and
does not penalize the careful, res
ponsible driver. The negligent mo-
torist holds the financial sack, as he
should.
In all probability it will not be long
before an appreciate number of
states have similar laws to the bene-
fit of the public at large.

MARYLAND CHICKENS AND
EGGS

The gross income to Maryland
farmers from chickens and eggs pro-
duced in 1880 was about $12, 292, 600,
according to Richard C. Ross, Agri-
cultural Statistician for the Mary
land Crop Reporting Service. This
amount represents about Is per
cent of the total gross income
from all crop and livestock sources
last year. Cash income from chick
ems and eggs sold in the same period
amounted to SO, 3O6, 900 and the value
OF chickens and eggs consumed on
farms in 1880 in estimated at So, 1885,, :
600.
Farmers received about S., go, 900
for eggs sold Except for hatching)
during the year and it is estimated
that the value of eggs consumed on
farms was about $2,192,OOO. The
total value of all the eggs laid during
the year is estimated to have been
$7,2OO,0OO. Total layings in 1880
were about 82O,OO0,OOO eggs, of
which 252,OOO,OOO were sold Except
for hatching), 53,OOO,O 900 were con-
sumed on farms, and 100000
were used for Matching.
The total value of chickens pro-
duced in 1880 is estimated at S., 429,-
600 of which cash receipts from
sales amounted to 1886, 600 and the
value of chickens consumed on farms
to about 81, $4,000. Maryland farm
ers produced close to 7,144, 900
chickens last year, of which 4,784.-
600 were sold and 1850, OOO' were
consumed at home.
Total value of all chickens on
Maryland farms on January /, 1881,
was estimated at 4,255, 900. This
was about $1,000, 900 less than on
January l, 1880, and about $436, 600
less than at the first of 1929. Num-
Der of all chickens on hand at the
first of 1881 were estimated lat A.
728, 900, the same as on January /,
1880. There were about ASH, 900
chickens on hand on January /, 1929.
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1931-10-09


During the first half of 1881 the
total estimated fire loss was
$242, 568, 267, as compared with $242,
299,7 for the same period last year.
The increase is so small as to
be almost negligible. But 1880 was
a year of high losses, and we are
continuing to hold the total to an
excessive figure. Carelessness and
thoughtlessness, coupled with arson,
are still combating the fine work
of those organizations, public and
private, which are laboring to in
struct the people in the fundam en-
tails. of fire prevention.
