K. Blechler, of the North forestry division of the Depart -i ment of Conservation and De velopment. Of 13,693,000 acres under the protection of the department's division of forestry and parks. 166,745 acres was burned over by 2,668 fires, Mr. Biechler said. That is 1.22 per cent of the total acreage under protection. Virginia had the lowest rate among the Southern states, with 0.19 per cent. The percentage, however, does not tell the whole story, accord ing to Mr. Biechler. The real value of statistics, he remarked, comes from comparing them with the records of other years. For example, in 1942, North Carolina ,had 11,874,627 acres ol state and private land under protection. On this land 3,599 fires burned 513,082 acies of land. This was 4.32 per cent of the total protected area. He added that increased state appropriations for forest fire control and a greater number | of foresters and county forest wardens in the field are large- , ly responsible for the decrease in the number of fires and the lower percentage of protected land burned. i Eighteen foreign students at tended the recent National 4-H Club camp held in Washington, D.
