ST. PAUL, August l5.-Minute pre-
cautions were taken by forestry au-
thorities today to guard against an
other outbreak of still smouldering
brush and forest fires, which at the
peak of their intensity blackened 30o.-
900 Minnesota acres and menaced
lives and property.
Rain Thursday night and Friday,
with possible showers predicted to-
night in the Duluth vicinity, enabled
fire fighters to fortify gains already
made and permitted release of others
for rest.
Secondary Roads Closed.
Still fearful Of the prolonged dry
spell. however. which gave the North
Central States one of its worst
droughts in history, with consequent
loss Of thousands of dollars to farm
ers and number of deaths from heat,
forestry officials closed all secondary
roads to travel in the fire zones.
Sheriffs have been asked to allow
travel on a permit basis only.
This move is primarily designed
to keep the roads clear for trucks
hauling men and equipment" SAID
Grover. Comet, State forester. There
still is much work ahead. In fact
our most important progress may now
be made while the weather remains
favorable"
In North Woods Area.
The road-closing order pertains only
to a fraction of the north woods
area frequented annually by vacation
lists. Comet said.
No new fires were reported today
for the first time in two weeks. A
number Of fires were extinguished
and the others were under control.
The Lake Kabetogama and Tom

the cost of eating in the Spring and

centage of the corn grown finds its
way as such to the table.

to be short supply of meat animals
