ommendt that in place of a trip tD

in a year's course in practical trainf

Jemic training would not enable
B him to enter the agricultural college
of tila suite, a more elementary
course In a school where agrlcul
tore la taught or & course In an
agricultural high school are recommended.
6 The Department considers thtft j
V such oourses have considerably more |
lasting value for prise-winners and
for the agriculture of their sections
,r than flying trips to the capital.,
[. tree Mate *and local drgainlzations
which have been paying for these)
trips have been sincerely interested
In developing a true appreciation
of farming as a business among the
boy and girl farmers. Some of
Bl these have already considered this
Question and have decided on the
agricultural course as the more desirable
prize.
gt One of the first persons to raise
the question as to whether the practical
training or the more sjJectaeun.
ular trip was preferable, was Willie
P. Brown, an Arkansas corn club

Mr. Parks la equally at ease.
In his masterful Interpretation of

of the "Raven" by Poe, with musi- 1

histrionic ability to be of the high

lng whether he be a greater actor i
than singer or versa.. All of i
-frniCtt Wlh a manly utTaffected
manner makes an artist of
unusual attractiveness, whom it Is
a pleasure and education to hear. i
As Mepftistophelec, Mr. P&rkB t
is .recognised as America's greatest i
lnterpretator cf this demoniac role.
Besides possessing a real basso

interested In these clubs and understand

&to offered horewith for the consideration
of others who might care
to profit by them.
While a year's course with all
expensed paid is the suggestion of ;
the department for^he biggest prize
for state winners, less extensive
qourses might he offered to the
county winners. It has been sug-|
gested that such counties as care
to give prizes, give one or more
ehort courses In the State agrlcul!
tural and mechanical colleges to the
' fortunate county champions. These
\ courses are usually only two weeks
long and are held in winter or in

the most practical sort, and - the
amount of time spent is no gauge
of the amount of benefit to be obi

Fires Creditable
eport Shows An Increase, Yet,
The Statistics it More Gratifying
to Those in Charge. i
During 1918 the force* on the nnlonol
forests fought 4,620 fires, or
early twice * as many as started in
91?, the best year the forests have
ver had.
Notwithstanding the great In- >9
reuse in the number of fires, Forster
Gravea^tonslders that the show
ig made by the forest service was
uite as favorable as that in the
receding year, because the damage
one and the costs of fire fighting 1
. ere no greater proportionately
han In 1912. In both years prao- Ically
50 per cent of all fires were
etocted and extinguished before
hey burned over a quarter of an v"|B
ere, and 26 per cent of both years'
res were put out before they covred
10 acree. Of last year's fires
,278, or considerably more than
he whole number of fires In 1912,
k-ere confined to wreas of less than
0 acres, and in 1,080 addition*!
Ires less than $10Q damage was
one by each. In only 26 fires did
he damage amount to $1,000. <?
The aggregate loss Intlmber is '
istlmated at nearly 69 million board
eet, valued at about 882,000, and
he damage to young growth and
orage la estimated at about $110,>00,
making a total or about $192,>00.
About' 18 per cent of this
osa however, was incurred on private
lands within the forests whesr
16 per cent of the fires had their 1 1
origin. - " j
One encouraging feature is that
the total nomber u' .fires set by
railroad locomotive was scarcely ^
more than in the precdlng year and
represented only 12 per cent of all
ftres as against nearly 19 per cent
in 1912; also,-the proportion set
by sawmills and other engines in
the woods was considerably leas
than in 1912. This indicates very
plainly. Mr. Graves says, that the
public Is awakening to the need of
jpark arresters and care with enSines
in the woods.
Looking tor the Increase in the
number of fires, the forester finds
three main causes:
Flrt of all the unprecedented
electrte storms which swept the
whole state of California at th|
end of a long dry season and set
almost simutaneously, about 700
fires. The $04 fires set by lightning
in California formed nearly 60
per cent of the 1,628 fires on the
national forests of the state from
all causes, and were more than half
of the 1,571 lightning-set fires In *
all the 21 states reporting.
In the second place, there were
757 fires which started outside the
forest:-, of which 64 4 were stopped J
by the government's fire fighters
beforo they reached the forest boun-*
daries, as against 424 which start- "3
ed on outside areas in 1912. However,
the proportion of ruch fires
to all ttose which the service battled
with was about the same for
1912 and 1913.
The other Increased cause of
Area was Incendiarism, but this Increase
was confined to throe states
Arkansas, California, and Oregon,
all others showing a marked decreaso.
Of the 462 incendiary fires
128 were in Arkansas, 133 in Cal- . j
lfornla, and 142 in Oregon, where
two brothers were known to have
set 72 on ono forest alone. These
two and other incendiaries wefe, , j
of course, severely dealt with by v
tiie law. On the ^Arkansas forest,
too, It has been assifmed that the
261 fires classed under the general
heading of "origin unknown" were
mainly incendiary.. In California,
the Incendiary fires are largely attributable
to what Is known as the ^9
"light-burning theory," which ad- *
vances the argument that forests
should be burned over frequently * j
to prevent the accumulation of de- .2
brls. The forest service considers nj
this a pernicious theory because It
scars the standing timber and thus
reduces ita value; It robs the forest J
soil of Its ability to retain moisture,
effectually prevents the reproduction J
of the forest, since such fires destroy
all tree seedlings before they j
have a chance to get a good start.
In 1912 lightning caused more "I
fires than any other agency, followed
closely by railroads, eamuers. >1
and Incendiaries. In the. order given.
In 1912, however, the fires i I
, caused by lightning outnumbered
i the next nearest cf use by more than
J three to one, but the order?rattj
roads, campers, snd incendiaries?
, remained the tamo aa la 1?1?.
