Devartment Issues Poster Re- garding Fires, The Department of Forestry at Harrisburg has just issued a forest fire poster, 14x22 inches In size, to be distributed generally over the for- ested regions of the state, It con- trasts vividly the advantages of pro- tected forests and the curses which befall us as the result of forest fires Forest fires, in most Cases, result from the carelessness or indifference of some one. A burning match, a cigar or cigarette stub, or pipe ashes may be heedlessly dropped along the edge of a road or path through the forest; a small fire at camp or on a game runway is built and not thoroughly ex- tinguished: these little things may be the cause of untold loss in many WAYS innocent people. Sometimes people see start, and do nothing to them when they are small. They do not realize that the greater the fire the greater their own individual loss The unfortunate condition is that the greatest evils resulting from forest fires are not direct, Diminished streams and impure water may not be noticed for several years gradual increase in the price of may not be attributed to fire. The money that might have been brought to a community be. cause of its beauty is not missed be- cause it was never expected. failure of farm or fruit crops is blam-. ed upon “the weather” or “the bugs” when unquestionably the real causes was changed forest conditions in neighborhood.
