FIRE FIGHTING JOB ONE FOR A FINISH ' The extraordinary favorable fall of mild weather has resulted, a? hoped, in a much less disastrous fire saeson than is usually the case. Delayed frosts kept the wobds and forests green much longer than usual, with the result that the usual period of drought did not provide the Under of fallen leaves. Since fronts Icame rains have increased and much timber that would have been subject-1 J ed t?> fire in ordinary couse has escaped. While the mild fall has been larpiy responsible for this gratifying condition, reports to the Forest Dcraitment of the Survey indicate that the fire prevention forces in the cooperating counties have been ve.y diligent and efficient. In a remarkable number of cases it is -hown that when fires started they were cxtin guished after burning over nig'.igibie areas of from one-half acre to an acre and a half, the damage? being nominal In almost every or.e of the Instances, the early concentration and < ffective action of the wardens acted as a preventive of a fire that was getting headway to work serious harm. The total of property saved through this prompt fashion of performing duty is incalculable. "Three Bite* at Cherry" There were, however, several reports of a neglect to follow through x job well begun that can serve as warning to all fire-prevention forces. In these cases fires had started, the wardens had organize d and put them under control, only for new fires to i start from smouldering embers. , For instanse, a typical fire of this| kind started in Mont ford's Cave Towr.-hip in McDowell County, on November 12. It was promptly reported and attacked and yielded to tht. efforts of two men working a total of three hours. The estimated | damage to one acre ourned over was t ; only ?4. But on November 13, fire wiich started from the remnants of the first blaze burned over tw? nty-five I 'acres, doir.g damage of $100 and re-' quiiing hours of work on the part of four men to bring it under con-' trol. and on November 10 still ac.- j other fire started from the first two which required a total of 21 men working an average of two hours to bring it under control. The contrary practice was shown by the action of the warden at Black j Mountain, who after extinguishing j j a small fire which Iturmd two or three acres in the mountains took the j precaution to leave one deputy ??d a helper te watch the burned area 1 throughout the night, with th?> result! . that the fire, once "put out' , "stay-1 : cd put."' Correct Fire Pract-ce In every business it is a problem ! of management to inspire in the ot'-j j ficers and employees generally the I spirit of sticikng to the particular J j task until it is definitely concluded. I i Most things are easy to begin and! j most men carry on efficiently when' ' there is something deffinite to to at-] tack. It is, however, far more diffl-1 ! cult to secure the service of thor-j ougknes * which leaves r.o odds and I ends left over to be picked up, re-, assembled or corrected after the job finely begun should have been put in the cla?s of finished business.' In the science of forest fire preven-j tion this virtue of sound caution Is GSU' ) ik. # z nisi 2Bc BU HoMUUSin ?? SOc wi cr^itr BM a 2Sc mu ^ 91.00 Hub it e?ruw?thp?> f "* * ^ | ?

One theory supposed to support ! such a de-.tructive practice is thst the feitst will be fired in , event and that being true it is better that fire should come in the f than in the spring wnvn the sap is rising in the Wood. Another is that in a section in which "moonshining is somewhat o fan established industry, it is supposed that with more or less continual fires in the woods, the "smoke"' from the various illicit "stills" will not he the tell-tale sign it would otherwise be to officers?
