Sample Number 2. that caused by insects under norm conditions." ‘ “There is reason to believe that in time the loss due to foresis fires will be practically eliminated once the public realizes the necessity of pre- caution, as ninety per cent of for- est fires are due to human careless- ness. Scientific methods of control- ing insects and fungus damage are being rapidly developed and in iime the depletion will consist almost en- tirely of material cut for use.” The very argument used by the Government, namely, that 90 per cent of all forests fire are due to human carelessness. is in itself con- vlncixig proof that forest fires in our north country. where we are dealing with uncontrolled thousands of pulp- i wood peelers, prospectors, miners! trappers, fisherman and others wlth| their cigarette stubs and camp and clearing fires cannot be eliminated. While the government panacea. for eliminating fire losses stop shon at mereialkltistobenoted that in a practical sense we are increasing the fire hazard every time we out down a tree and leave the dry tops and branches in the woods to serve as tinder for the first cigarette stub, lighted match or flash of lightning to start another eonflagratlon. We are annually creating at least seven million acres of this dry fire-kind- ling slash from cutting operations alone. not to mention the other mil- lions of acres, of dead. diseased, in- sect killed and blown down tress. In view of these facts, the utter im- possibility of eliminating forest fires “The average amount of timber destroyed by fire annually is estim- ated as equivalent to 4,105,600,000 ft. board measure, (8 million cords.) In addition there were 891,254 acres of young growth and 500,944 acres oi cut-over land burned over, on which the increment. of perhaps 30 years. on the average was destroyed." If we only estimate the 851,254 ac- res of young growth destroyed by fire at 2 cords per acre lt represents \l.'l82,508 cordsMerely adding togeth- er the quantity utilized and that de- stroyed by fire it shows an annual depletion of 390000.000 cords with- out figuring the large loss suffered through insects and disease. This is accepting all Government figures at their face value (which ls impossible both as to the stand 1nd the deplet- ion) and is also entirely ignoring the most serious factor that from a. oilin- atic standpoint we are already over- denuded of forest. growth. When a billion cords are mention- not a billion minutes since Christ was on earth: in other words, if anyone had begun measuring up cords of wood ‘at the- rate of a. cord a minute, 24 hours a day for nine- teen hundred years, it would not am- ount to a billion cords.
