Tunis and burned the forests and to day Tunis is a sandy desert scorching- under the sun. Probably no coun try has ever been blessed more a bundantly with forests than this one of ours and yet with the lesson of China, Palestine and the Mediterra nean shores before us we have burn ed over and out over our hills until today we have barely enough timber for home consumption and little for export. Look at the rise in the price of lumber and the change in quality cut during tfhe past ten years .y So I say that in starting the town ship forestry club you have taken a most important step for I believe the township idea, is the logical solu tion of the problem of fire protection in the Eastern states and that if you show results, nearby townships wili with, a little encourgement, fall in liife and time will see the entire timb ered area of the State patrolled by effective organizations, able ' to co operate with each other if necessary. In- the West they have county patrol associations and timber-men's co-operative patrols and tney serve their purpose for conditions are different there. In this section the township idea seems to me to be the only one that will give protection at the least expense and also - create and maintain1 a Jong needed interest in our forests.' Forests, protection is not a hobby or a theory. It is ab solutely essential to our welfare and industrial progress. Living right in the midst of the timber as you dc here and in a State where less than half of the total land area is clear ed. It may be hard to realize how much a part the trees play in our ex istence yet we all know that when the forest is removed, the leaves and. humus that catch and hold the rain and tbe melting snows, goes al so, the streams flood in ,the spring and sun-dry in the summer.

Be as careful about fire on your own land as you want vcur neighborj or the hunter and camper to he about his. One or two men can put out a fire when it is small. whereas it may take fifty men a couple of hours later, so when a District Warden receives notice of a ;re in his district, no time should be o?t in getting on the spot. Send some one else for assistance, if nec essary and take what help you have The inain thing in fire fighting is to get on the spot quickly. Every man should bring a rake or tool of some kind. If you leave it to the other man, he wil surely come emp- y hjanded and the need of a few oola may mean extra hours on the fire line. The flames are often too hot to allow one to get close enough o beat them out and if you have to backfire, a rake should be used to rake a line with first.
