Tree Power
Can Equal
Atom Bomb

ANN ARBOR. - There's as
much total energy released IN 40
acres of burning brush as there
is by exploding one medium A
bomb, according TO Kenneth p.
Davis. University Of Michigan
professor OF forestry
And if this doesn't give an
idea of forest fires destruci-
iveness. Professor Davis cites
figures which say that 10 mil
lion acres a year catch fire. with
yearly dollar losses running in
tho zoos Of millions.
lie points out that the L. S.
IS a whole spends some 70 mil
lion year for forest-fire fighting
and prevention. but there are still
about 100 thousand fires each
year
And. he emphasizes that 80
per cent of all forest fires are
man-caused!"
Michiganders should be partic-
ularly alert 10 the hazards OF
forest fires since this state has
on record some of the most num-
erous and destructive in the ma
TONS history, Professor DAVIS
saws
In 1890 there was a high OF
almost 5000 fires; in 1925 some
100000 acres were burned over
and in 1911 more than million
dollars was burned up. The entire
face Of the Upper Peninsula has
been changed by fire, he states.
