ted by the judges. Three inspections

FORESTERS PREPARE FOR
COMING FIRE SEASON
Towers Are Now Being Placed in
Readiness by District Forester

Special warnings of the approach
of the years greatest forest-fre per-
iod and instructions as to prevention
are being sent throughout Maryland
by the State department of forestry,
and already some of the forest fire
towers on the Eastern shore have been
opened.
Lingering SHOWS in Garrett and
Allegany counties have retarded the
arrival of the usual spring forest fire
conditions, according to H. c. Buck
ingham, district forester. Towers are
being placed in readiness in Western
Maryland and telephone lines damaged
by the recent blizzard are being re-
paired, so that the towers can be
placed in operation should spring tenn
peratures and March winds melt the
snow and dry the forests.
1t is a considerable task to reduce
the number of confagrations in the
woods at this season, Walter ]. Quick,
Jr., assistant forester stated. In the
period from March 20 to the middle of
April last year fifty percent of the
forest fires of the year occurred. The
majority of the blazes are caused by
brush burning and the burning OF
grass or debris in a general cleanup
of property.
Cecil Ramsey, of Oakland, recently
assigned as principal forest guard, is
assisting District Warden A. L. Sines
to prepare the forest wardens for eff
cient fire fighting. Organization OF
special fire fighting crews is being
emphasized.
