Accordin'g to these corre spondetns, reporting from nearly one-half the townships of the state 16 per cent of the forest in 1912 were caused by hunters, while an average of 12 per cent of the fires of the past four years were attribut ed to this source.

But it is the night hunters, out after 'possums, coons or foxes who are responsible for so many fires, and whom the following law is meant to control.
