damage and prevention, S. B. Show, silviculturist with the United States Forest Service in California, stated that fire is the most important cause of denuded forest acres. where logging operations had taken the old timber and no new growth has come up to reclaim the land. Of such fires, most start from the logging operations themselves.

With adequate care;during lumbering operations and a reasonable system of patrol of cut-over land for a few years following logging, the greater portion of California's timberland would, in the opinion of Mr. Show, reproduce in due course of time and carry a second growth of pine in all respects equal to the virgin yield, if not actually greater ih volume of timben produced.

"Whether the slash and debris left after logging in western yellow pine should be burned deliberately, to reduce the fire hazard," said Mr. Show, "is a question wholly of time and method,, If gathered into piles in an efficient manner, and burned the spring or fall after logging, when fire danger is least, the result will be beneficial. But scattering the slash without burning, or even letting it lie without scattering, is prefereble to careless burning, either in piles or broadcast.

"In our California pine region fires in slash are more difficult to control, but are not greatly more destructive to the young growth than fi,res on cut-over areas where slash has been piled and burned. Underbrush slash, indeed, ceases to be a serious hazard. in 10 years at the most."
