PAGE 2 MORE FOREST FIRES IN MARCH Reports Also Show An Improvement In Work Of Forest Wardens WARREN HAS 14 FIRES Fire reports received at the District off-ce by District Forester L. A. Carter of the Northeastern District to date show a greater number of fires occurring during March than in previous years, but also show an improvement in the work of the forest wardens in fighting ffkrocF firp.q Not all of the fires that occurred during March have been reported is the opinion of Mr. Carter, however, all of the large fires have been reported and any not in at present will tend to lower the averages rather than raise them. To date 114 fires have been reported as occ irring during the month of March, burning over a total of 3,459 acres and causing a damage estimated by the wardens at $15,051.00 in the eight cooperating counties of the district. Of the lands burned over 1,240 acres were merchantable timber lands, 2,010 acres of second growth lands and 208 acres of open or grass lands. The average area per fire was 30 acres, which is 12 acres lower than the lowest yearly average previously made, while the average damage per fire was $44.31. The number of fires by counties is as follows: Bertie, 36; Chowan, 2; Edgecombe, 14; Halifax, 24; Hertford, 7; Northampton, 14; Warren, 14; and Washington, 2. Thirty-four fires were caused by careless brush burning, 6 by railroads, 3 by lumbering, 18 by smokers, 39 fires were wilfully set, 9 by miscellaneous causes and 15 by unknown causes. Of the 114 fires probably all but the 29 incendiary fires were preventable. "The careless parties who caused the fires could easily have been a little more careful and saved their county and State a great part of the $5,051 that has been wasted by these fires," Mr. Carter said. "The 29 incendiary fires were largely due to ignorance on the part of some and a few were undoubtedly set for pure meanness. "The increase in the number of fires has bQen due to the extent of the dry period that has lasted throughout the entire first quarter of the year. It is hoped that the worst of the fire period is over and that the wardens will soon be able to spend more time on their own work and less time fighting fires, at the county and State's expense that are caused by needless carelessness." t f t f r w] st i an re; sa: bu Th ad tui no tei be th< Press P Warrenton v ? l ?

After he had eaten 1< of the forbidden fruit and the Lord v asked him why he had disobeyed he a said, "The woman whom thou gavest me, she gave me of the tree t and I did eat." n Passing the buck is supposed to " have originated with the cowboys a who occasionally humored a ten-1 n derfoot by literally passing a buck b in order to let the tenderfoot shoot I him. There are other explanations g but no matter. We all know that s passing the buck means blaming another person for our own mis- c takes. In politics it means shifting b responsibility. The tendency is to let a subordinate suffer for the in- v competence and corruption of the t superior. 1; Passing the buck is not confined to t politics, to business and to the c officers of the army and navy. We c all do it at times and in diverse f ways. If two of us undertake a f project and it turns out well I want r the credit but if it fails I try to e blame the other fellow. I invest in c oil and make a fortune.

T. Allen, State Superintendent of Public Instruction. A number of schools have radios as a part of their regular equipment now, Supt. Allen continued. Although information pertaining to the use of this kind of equipment is not asked for on our regular blanks, we were particularly interested in the degree to which the 1 schools made use of the radio dur- 1 ing the live-at-home week. To this ' end we sent out a blank to each of the superintendents asking them the number of radio sets used in the schools and the number of per ?*~ 4-Vtsv liiro n I V*Arv\fl i SLMIS WUU IICcUU MM? uvc-aW-iiwujv 'speeches over the radio.

C. m, North CmvUiui the writers say that they appear to be in the business of raising poultry for rats rather than for the table. Yet it is comparatively easy to wipe out the rats by use of proper poisons. "One pound of ground raw beef mixed thoroughly with one ounce of powdered red squill and placed about the chicken pen in pieces the size of a small pecan will effectivey rid the average place of all the rats which ravage: the small chicks and fryers," says C. D. Schwartz, junior biologist at State college. "This red squill powder will not injure the chickens when used exactly in this proportion. The next step is to remove all trash piles and denning places for the rats in and about the chicken pens." ! Mr. Schwartz says it is impossible for a rat to regurgitate any food eaten and that the red squill poison so upsets its digestive tract J that death is caused. The poison will be doubtedly effective if tne rats are baited for a iiight or two before the food is poL-toned.
