Another important factor is that
cover having been burned off wa
| tersheds In November of 1888 a
narrow gully in nearby county
was burned off by the owners, the
protective coating of cover being
entirely destroyed. Within month
vine SO badly as to almost destroy
the area for grazing, and the fer
tile land at the foot of the ravine
was covered several feet deep with
worthless rock, sand and infertile
rubbish. The damaging flood OF
1884 in McConnelsvilIe was un-
doubtedly partly caused by over
grazing, fires or other causes that
removed the ground cover from the
upper reaches of the watershed
In addition to these dangers, mil
lions of feet of timber are destroy
ed yearly by fires. Even q so-called
fground fire. will cause immense
damage by burning off the cover
that serves as a spongy protective
layer over the soil, permitting it to
dry out instead of soaking up the
moisture that the spongy layer
catches, holds and feeds to it. The
fire also destroys many young trees
and damages old ones through burn
ing the roots, trunks and branches.
A fire killed tree is worthless un-
less cut within a year or two after
it is killed. Even the burning Of
brush is discouraged by the forestry
service, who advise that brush
should be cut into pieces short
enough to lie close to the ground,
and be scattered over the ground,
where it can rapidly decay and build
the fertility of the soil.
Another serious damage to our
natural resources from fire is the
destruction of wild life. Untold
thousands of game animals, such
as rabbits, squirrels, skunks, etc,
are either killed outright or driven
from their ranges by uncontrolled
fires. Many birds as well, especial
ly the ground nesting species, have
their nests destroyed and food sup
plies wasted through this same
agency. We have seen, in a single
area near Portersville, burned over
last year, over a dozen ground
birds nests destroyed within an
area of only a couple acres. This
one fire burned over a hundred
acres, so one can hardly estimate
the damage done.
Another factor often unconsider-
ed is that every bit of dead vege-
table matter can be used over again
as fertilizer for new crops. Some
times heavy growth is hard to turn
under when plowing, but it is well
worth the trouble in the promotion
of new growth One excuse given
for burning is ito destroy weed
seed" but it is a common observa-
tion that the grasses are burned
off and the weed seeds, on their
sturdy stalks, remain. This de-
feats that purpose. On the whole,
promiscuous application of fire to
plant cover is inexcusable, and ev-
cry farm owner should use this dam
gerous weapon with extreme care il
he ever finds it necessary to use it
at all.
