Carelessness Is
Cause Of Fires
In Ohio SIS

Columbus, Ohio-Did you know
that 80 out of 100 of Ohio's forest
fires stem from three causes?
The careless smoker, the care
leses debris burner and camper
and the housewife who carelessly
burns wastepaper and trash are
the guilty parties, according to
statistics compiled by the Ohio Di-
vision of Forestry.
These three groups were mainly
responsible for the burning-over
of total of 1877 acres of Ohio's
valuable and scenic forest lands
last year alone, from 1861 sepa-
rate fires.
This sounds Ike a tremendous
amount of acreage burned-and it
is. But actually compared to other
states it is not an alarmingly high
figure. Neighboring Indiana h d
1880 acres burned-over, Missouri
had 957,379 acres damaged or de-
stroyed and Florida had the al
most unbelievable figure of
4,47O,000 acres burned. Many
other states had similarly h i G h
burned-over acreage.
Why is Ohio comparatively
low?
1t can be partially attributed to
the fact that Ohioans have become
more fire conscious in recent
years, and less fires are bein G
started. But there is another fac
tor and a very important one
the Forest Fire Control Section of
the Ohio Department of Natural
Resources, Division of Forestry
First organized as a separate
unit in 1923, this efficient organi-
zation of firefighters has grown
from a personnel roster of only
three men with no motorized
equipment to a highly trained
organization of IS persons, with
the latest in ground and air fire
fighting equipment.
Where most of the fire location
and fighting in the early days
done on foot and horseback, it is
now accomplished by radio, air
planes and modern motorized
ground equipment.

August is a revealing month
both below and above ground fol-
growers.
Starvation symptoms in crops
show up to the greatest extent al
this time, DR.. Kermit c. Berger o1
the University of Wisconsin soils
department points out. This is
particularly true with nitrogen de-
fciencies on corn where the lower
leaves turn yellow. While too late
for this year, steps can be taken
for next years crop to prevent
recurrence and proper fertilizers
applied for top yields"
Growers can see that these nit
rogen. deficiency symptoms are
most severe where soil has been
eroded and top soil washed away,
according to the Wisconsin Spe-
cialist, whose nitrogen tester for
corn is in wide use. Much erosion
occurs after harvest and plowing,
1t is very good practice to seed
oats in the fall after the corn is
plowed right on the rough ground.
In most northern areas the oats
should be seeded before Septem-
Der IS for a good growth before
winter when such a crop is
winterkilled and decomposeS in
the spring, minor organisms caus-
ing this decomposition produce
gum-like substances that loosen up
the soil, giving a nice seed bed.
The oats also help prevent ero-
sion"
This is one Of the good prac-
tices making for better farms,
larger crops" Berger emphasizes.
Erosion Costs Water
Eroded soils require more irri-
cation since they store less water
and prevent deep roofing, ASsoci-

ate Extension Specialist Wallace
A. Micheltree at Rutgers Univer-
sity says in discussing erosion
showing up in August.
"Well-managed soils will return
much more per irrigation dollar
than poorly managed soils"
Micheltree reminds growers that
more supplemental irrigation is
needed now. Crops will use / "a"
a week now compared with /" in
May and $40" in September. A
rule of thumb during August, as
in July, is to apply l" every to
z days on sandy soils, Ia" to
Q" every 9 days on loamy soils,
depending on depth of roofing.
Loan soils will store 2" of water
per foot Of depth, sands less
than II"
On canning crops, tomatoes will
send down roots AZ, spinach only
12", sweet corn 36", potatoes only
2l", the Rutgers expert notes.
Deeper roofing crops need less
frequent irrigation"
Orchard Danger Signs
Wind and water erosion can be
expected in clean cultivated or
chards in August, warns DR.. A. L.
Kenworthy, Michigan State Col
lege horticulturist. Poor moisture
penetration may be corrected by
a soil or cover crop program.
Overwhelming cover crops. as
rye or wheat, should be seeded in
the latter part of August"
DR.. Kenworthy also notes that
poor cover crop stands in orchards
are often correlated with mag
nesium deficiencies.
