STATE HAS MORE THAN 1OOO FOREST FIRES IN 1922 WLTII LOSS OF $134.000

More than a thousand forest fires occurred in the national forests of California during the past season, acc'ording to the preliminary report by the United States forest service. These conflagrations, numbering 1034, burned over a total of 290,8@ acres, of rvhich I92,0OA iacres was Government land. The darnage to timber and reproduction on the Federal forests is estimated at $134,000. Severe damage also resulted on some of the most important watersheds of the state.

Seventy-five per cent of the fires on the national forests were man-caused, and therefore preventable. Lightning set 25 per cent of the fires. The effect.ive fire detection work of the forest service extinguished 80 per cent of the fires before they had covered an area of 10 acres each.

The Shasta national forest leads the list with 142 fires. The Plumas forest had 103 fires and the Lassen 97. In Southern California, on the Angeles, Cleveland and Santa Barbara national forests, there were 195 fires which burned over 100,000 acres of Government land, largely covered with brush and chaparral, but exceedingly important from a watershed protection standpoint.

Compared with 1921, the record shows a decrease of 97 in the total number of fires, but an increase of approximately 75,W acres .in the area burned over, due largely to the extensive brush fires in Southern California.
