Fire Damage Demon-
stration For Davis
CluF Members
_ : __
Tuesday afternoon the annual
Forest Fire Damage Demonstra-
tion took place on the Davis
4-H Club marked plots on Sand
Mountain. Here two half acr Q
plots have been set aside and
marked by concrete markers
One plot is never burned and
every precaution is taken to m-’-
vent accidental burning. The
other Is burned each year
purpose of this demonstration is
to- provide data and visual evi-
dence of fire damage.
This is the fifth v"ar that
this same area has been burned
over in these Fire Damage De-
monstrations. As we glanced
down the fire lane which sepa-
rated these two, plots, even an
untrained eye could see many
differences. On the burned one
therd was the absence of young
trees; there was a very thin layer
of leaves; there was sage grass
growing and though the forestry
people may not like us
“ ‘ n ““ Same breaUl W ‘ lh
bad thln6S the flre had ’
there were many tiny pink

flowers and a profusion of large
purple violets raising their heads
to the added sunshine this buio- j
ed over area afforded. On the
other side were many new 1, " s
growing in a deep bed of leaves
and mulch and there were no
young trees stunted by fire be-
fore they could grow to useful
timber.
Conducting this demonstration !
were County Agent T r A ' ;n
Assistant Agent C. R. Ayers, Mr.
Hinton from TV A Forestry I
Department, Forest R r >tv Tn r T
Pace and his assistant Hop
Erown and members of the Davis
4-H Club were : President Nelson

Before beginning the Domon-
stration, Ranger Pace with the
4-H Club members made sure
and cleared where necessary all
the fire lanes and then the fir"
was started in many places. It
was watched to see that it did
not jump the fire lanes and
danger Pace showed how to
start a fire at the edge of a fire
lane to meet the. approaching
blaze to keep it from spreading.
When the area had bunmd
the time came to check that the
fire was all out. First path Ihtle
place, was snuffed out aid th n
back pack pumps were rtraprrd
to the back of Pauline Hartlin"
and John Ray Crawford. At.
first they very dare fully oumoed
water all along the edges and
wherever there seemed to b" anv
fire left but at the end of this
precaution there seemec to be
some water left in the pumps
and the fun began. Brfore it
was over everyone had hrd some
water squirted on them. Child¬
ren racing through thi§ burned
area, the smell of smoke still H
the air, streams of water spout¬
ing forth and the yells IfWht"” of s
drenched one and the
0 f the others made a hanflv end
ing to this year’s demonstration.

Ranger’s Report
By: J. C. Pace
With the trees and grass g*»
ting green, the fire hazard has
decreased, however, v/e are still
forest fires. Ycv-*-
tectIon Unlt fought three firPS
ast ' wepk

While the Prot.eetinr T T n?1
fighting the fire at one point,
samo neighbors of Mr. T 'groin
Gray discovered that the fire was
spreading toward his bom" rr
had almost reached fh« wunke
house and other out buildings
These men had the fir" -
control when our fire r~\w T—e-b-
ed this point of the fire. Mr
Gray was rot home at the time.
A number of homes in our coun¬
ty are located near forested areas
and this is another important
reason for keeping fire out of the
woods.
Your Protection Unit attended
the Davis High 4-H Club forestry
demonstration on Sand Moun¬
tain last Tuesday afternoon. The
Club is using a small area of
forest as a project to show the
contrast between forest which
has been protected an dforest
whi"h has been burned. Tues¬
day afternoon part of the pro¬
ject was again burned—this be¬
ing the fourth consecutive year
for the experiment.
THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK:-
“ Acres of ashes may follow one
careless maten in the forest.
Help KEEP GEORGIA GREEN.”

Improvement Column
Honors go this week to the Big
Woods-Cole City section of Sand
Mountain. Mr. and Mrs. Luther
Ivey have built a lovely new
home, graded the surrounding
grounds and planted a year-
around lawn grass that has at¬
tained a luxuriant growth after
only one year’s planting; they
have shrubbery and flowers
forming an attractive back¬
ground. An electric pump fur¬
nishes running water for the
modern kitchen and bathroom.
Mr. and Mrs. Mack Crisp have
a new home that should be a
prize winner in any contest. This
kitchen extends the length of
the house with dining space in
the south portion, gay and sunny
with bright print draperies and
table cover. The working section
has built-in cabinets along the
east wall with a long sink and
large drainboard section under
a low wide window. A large elec¬
tric refrigerator and a white
enamel wood burning cook stove
complete this section. The bath¬
room equipment is ready for con
nection when a cistern large
enough to guarantee a constant
supply of water can be installed
to replace the present well wa¬
ter which has so much iron
leaves heavy yellow - brownish
stains on the white enamel.
There is so much wild crab-
apple, dogwood, redbud, holly,
azalea (wild honeysuckle) grow
ing everywhere and as it is so
easily transplanted this time of
year everyone should make an
effort to plant something, re¬
membering that small “switches”
not over 24 inches in length
phould be used rather than larg¬
er ones.

Same Conservation
Meeting To Be Held
Un April 26
The Dade County Farmers
Sportsman Club will hold a coun¬
tvwide meeting Thursday night,
April 28, at 7:30 o’clock, at the
courthouse in Trenton.
A special program is being ar¬
ranged for this meeting, which
will bring to the county Frank
W. Fitch Jr., wildlife conserva¬
tion specialist, with the Georgia
Agricultural Extension Service in
Athens, and Mr. C. C. James, with
the State Game and Fish Com¬
mission in Atlanta. These speak¬
ers wril be in position to discuss
the wildlife program in detail
and will bring the farmer or¬
ganization up to date on assist¬
ance that can be expected from
the state and Federal agencies.
The Dade County wildlife or¬
ganization is unique in that it
is a farmer sponsored project.
Most game preserves are started
with citysportsmen and they in
turn work out an agreement with
landowners for’conservation pro¬
gram.
The Dade County Farmer
Sportsman Club is planning ad¬
ditional feed and cover crops on
the farms in the game refuge.
They are lllso planning to restock
with quail, fish and other small
game. With the co-operation of
all land owners and sportsmen
it will be possible in a few years
to have an abundant supply of
game that will furnish recreation
and pleasure to people interested
in hunting and fishing.
Hunting and fishing within
the game refuge is prohibited un¬
der the rules and regulations un¬
til November, 1950 After that
time controlled hunting and fish¬
ing will be permitted. Sportsmen
interested in hunting within the
area will get permiss’on F rom
the landowners. A f< w sir ole
practices, such an f ( -e prevention,
planting of feed crops and con¬
trolled hunting or fishing will
make this project a success.
