FOREST FIRES A
PUBLIC CALAMITY
Written for The Messenger by
Allred Akerman, Professor
of Forestry, University
of Georgia.
(From The Walter County Messenger.)
The editor of the Messenger
litn suggested that 1 write a few
words in regard to forest fires.
The suggestion is a timely one;
for in Hie fall n out' s the woods
very liable to take fire. The
trees are casting their foliage;
and the dead leaves, mixed with
the browned grass and herbage,
under the influence of the long,
sue sirnv fall davs, become very
inf. n m vlde. The woods should
he j h tented from fire at all
times: but during the fail
months special cure should be
exercised.
The reason why the woods
ought to be protected from fire,
is that fire is the greatest enemy
of the woods. Some people con¬
tend that a fire running through
the woods does no harm; but
they are mistaken. Even a light
fire does a great deal of harm.
Fire consumes the leaves and
other litter that would decay
and enrich the soil. Fire injures
the roots that are near enough
to the surface to get scorched.
Fire kills the bark »t the base
of the tree, which weakens the
tree and makes it more liable
to disease. Sometimes these
tire scars grow over and disap¬
pear ; but they are still in the
wood, and when the tree is cut
it may be necessary to butt off a
portion of the bottom log on ac¬
count of the defect caused by
the fire scar.
In some sections of the state
the practice of turning tire
woods to improve the pasturage
prevails. It is true that- burn¬
ing often improves the pastur-
age;butit does: so at the ex
pense of the woods. When the
injury to the. young growth, and
soil is taken into account, the
gam is overbalanced by the
loss. It would be cheaper in the
long run to seed down a tract of
cleared land and make a first
class pasture out of it, and keep
the fire out of the woods.
One feature of this burning
for pasture is the liability of de¬
stroying other people’s propel ty.
The fences on the old home farm
in Bartow county where 1 grew'
up, were burned up several
times within my recollection by
neighbors who were burning to
improve pasture. The practice
is a wasteful one to the owner
and dangerous to his neighbor,
and it ought to be abandoned,
A lire in the woods ought to
he regarded as a public calamity.
Everybody ought to turn out and
help fight it. Everybody ought
to do his share to prevent its re¬
currence.
