Fire Prevention Plans
Paying Big Dividends
Copyright 1912

OLYMPIA, Wash, Aug. 26-Fire
losses in the timber of the state
have been almost nothing so far this
year and while next week will be
September and in the past some OF
the most destructive fires have oc-
CURED in the first half of the month
of September, 1t is a record to be
proud of that there have been almost
no fires up to this last week in
August.
1t is true that the weather has
been favorable for fire prevention
yet there have been more days of
real fire hazard than the individual
is likely to realize The wet spring
also caused very heavy growth of
underbrush, weeds and ferns, all Of
which add to the fire hazard in the
fall months. For this reason care
should be taken by all to prevent
late fires this year.

Meat Shortage
Issue Clarified

We have read lot about meat
shortages lately. 1t has been re-
ported in certain cities, particularly
in the East, and there has been 9th
er talk of rationing Most news and
editorial comment has reported the
supply situation correctly: but some
in influential positions have not, and
have made statements that farmers
are failing to produce enough. 9th.
ers charge they are holding live
stock off the market for higher pri-
ces
To show the fallacy of some of
these charges, the latest survey OF
cattle on farms and ranches shows
the greatest potential beef supply in
history. There were three million
head more cattle on January / than
one year previously, and seven mil
lion more hogs.
Farmers and ranohers are not
holding livestock off the market for
higher prices. On the contrary, ship
1nents are greater than last year,
and even greater in increase of live
stock numbers on farms. These in
creases have meant one billion
pounds more dressed meat for the
first six months of this year than of
the first half of 1871.
What then has caused the meat
shortage ON some markets?
First the Lend-Leaso projects
have taken considerable portion of
Beef and a large percentage of pork.
Nearly 40 per cent of Federally in
.spected slaughtered pork was pur-
chased for LendLease
The armed services have been TAX
ing tremendous amounts of beef
and pork and in the normally short
marketing periods which occur ev-
cry year during July and August, we
find that the amounted meat avail
able for civilian consumption is
somewhat lower than normal.
That the farmers are holding for
higher prices is a rather absurd
statement as price ceilings fixed on
retail cuts prevent the packer from
bidding over a set limit on the live
stock coming into the markets.
Some relief in the price and sup
ply situation can be seen in the next
few months in view of the fact that
the act passed by Congress on July
5 to permit the sale of 1875 million
bushels of Government owned wheat
and huge quantities of corn at IS
per cent of corn parity will aid in
the production of cheaper meats.
Also the normal production cycle of
livestock indicates that our heaviest
marketings will come in the next
three to four months.
Farmers may well supply their
family needs by Strengthening on the
farm and freezing of the meat pro-
dueed This should carry them on
through the slack marketing periods
and aid in the supplying of meat to
the general public.

Reforesting Program Making
Excellent Progress

An excellent record is being made
in the matter of reforesting suitable
tracts in the state, under the direc-
ton of Supervisor +. S. Goodyear.
Some of the logged off or burned
over lands reforest themselves with
out much assistance while others
must be planted and supervised. 1t
is estimated that all suitable lands
will be growing new crops of trees
within 10 years from date at the
present rate of planting, and no less
than $4,000 acres will be in this
classification. Most of the small
trees are of native fir, some are
pine, and at least one planting of
black walnut is doing we'll, while
Port Oxford cedar is being tried in
a half dozen localities and Is doing
we'll in most of them.

Farm Communities Have
Had Losses From Fire

From various parts of the wheat
growing country come reports of
losses from. fire. While these are
usually covered by insurance, and
the spread of the fire has in most
instances been controlled without
the losses that would have resulted
without the most prompt response
by fire fighters and equipment plan
ned for months ago. yet the loss of
the grain in times like the present
is regrottable and the buildings
which nave burned will be replaced
with difficulty, if at all.
