Deet Season Opens With Seriouslssues Bulletin on Painting

Forest Fires

Unless the weather changes, the opening of the deer season on September 16 in State fish and game districts 1, l%, 4, 4%, 4%, 23; 24, and 25, will be in the midst of forest fires and dangerous fire hazard conditions, and hunters will have to give more than ordinary cooperation in preventing fires. According to a statement from the office of the U. S. Regional Forester, San Francisco, forest and watershed fires suddenly assumed serious proportions in the national forests on September 6. Prior to this date the acreage burned was 84 per cent less and the number of fires 25 per cent below the corresponding date for 1931. High temperatures, low humidity and bigh winds in these game districts, which cover the mountain hunting grounds located in the national forests of the Siskiyou, Sierra Nevada and the eastern part of the southern coast ranges, created fire hazards with the result that fire control was difficult, and large acreages were burned.

Forest Service officials believe that unless more than ordinary care is taken by all hunters and travelers with their camp fires and smoking,.many of the deer ranges will be devastated and other losses will result.

California Redwood Association recently issued as a number of its Redwood Information Series a bulletin on "Painting and Finishing California Redwood Exteriors," showing the time at which exterior repainting is recommended when protection to the wood is considered.

The bulletin was compiled from data on a five year study, nationally, by the U. S. Forest Produ'cts Laboratory, Madison, Wis., on paintability and paint service of eighteen native softwoods of the United States.
