In eight of these counties, where deâ€" tailedâ€"reports were made by wardens who chave sent in weekly reports, there have been 67 fires, burning over 4,104 acres, an average per fire of 70 acres. Anything over 50 acres is classed as class C fire, so that better: results are expected in the future asâ€" the organization is perfected. The goal will have been reached when fires are reduced to oneâ€"quarter aere per fire, or better, prevented all toâ€" gether by the vigilance of the wardâ€" ensâ€"andâ€"coâ€"operation with them hy timberland owners. . s Causes Listedâ€" _ _ The returns show, according to the "forester, that hunters: presumably caused 18â€" ® these fires, railroads 1, brush burning by farmers 21, five were set maliciously, 19 were classed as unknown and three as miscellanâ€" eous, being attributed to nut gatherâ€" .ers, ginseng hunters and the smokâ€" ing . out.â€"of bees from "bee trees." Fire damage, according to Mr. Milâ€" .ler, is exceedingly hard to estimate since it must be based largely on the merchantable value of the timber desâ€" troyed or injured. There can of course ‘be addedâ€"to this the damage to the protective value of the forest, to forage and to game, which are merely guesges. At a very low figure _of $1 per acre, these fires caused a damage of about $7,500. Using this figure, which is very low, the adâ€" vantage of protecting 500,000 acres from fire can readily be seen, since has Illinois as one of the 's"t:tes â€" in his territory, has compiled some inâ€" teresting figures in regard to the causes of forest fires in the state and the results of: the first year‘s work. This is the first report to the U. 8. Forest Service with whom coâ€" operation started in the fall of 1927. Chiefâ€"Forester ‘R. B. Miller, of the conservation department, in a report to E. Murray Bruner, district fire inâ€" spector; of Louisville, Kentucky, who ILLINOIS FOREST FIRE LOSS HEAVY â€" Through the fact that farmers were in sympathy with this work when they found out what the state wasâ€" doing, the cost of suppression, that is the amount of money actually paid out to men for fireâ€"fighting, not countâ€" ing the wardens‘ salaries which are charged to prevention, was $34.80 for these 67 fires. The highest amount paid for fighting any one fire was $8.50 when the fire lasted more than a day. â€" " man carelessness of some kind, from whichâ€" 90 per cent of the fires in the United States originate. Education is one of the best means to overcome carelessness, starting perhaps with the younger generation, in the schools and boys‘ and girls‘ organizations. Chief Forester in Report Shows Causes of Damage, Including _â€" â€" Hunters, Burnt Brush § in theâ€" opinion ‘of the forester, an acre kept from burning over is worth an acre planted, and very much more, because these acres are already forâ€" ested either with mature or young growth,. :=â€">«_ :.
