Care Urged In Field Burning It Is an Important fact that woods products during our National Emergency be produced to full capacity. Therefore, it is a part of every landowner and tenant's duty to keep our forests growing. During the past fall, field grass grew very rapidly and late, resulting In an excess amount of deep grass on farmer's cultivated lands, and duo to the shortage of heavy farm equipment to plow tills grass, many farmers are resorting to burning to dispose of this excess debris. The State Forest Service urges all farmers aatL tenants to be extremely careful when disposing of this grass by burning, because It often results In the fire, getting out of control and Injuring the nearby woodlands. ! By following three Biinple rules, wo jean prevent field fires from getting lout of control. As follows: I *1. Wait until a calm evening, and I have plenty of help available that aro 'equipped with either pine tops or wet | burlap bags, to immediately suppress any fire that may escape Into the adjoining woodlands. 2. Notify the forest ranger, warden or towcrman, giving him the location of the field to he burned, and the exact hour you plan to start burning. Also ask him any questions regarding the hamlBng-of rht;-ftrer~ ~ j 3. Plow a furrow at least ten feet wide around the field adjoining the woodland, and from the Inside of this plowed furrow, start your fire and allow it to burn Into the field at a distance of approximately fifty yards before any more fire Is set. We should remember the phrase that "Careless Matches Aid The Axis." L. E. Smith, County Ranger., [ I Low-Hanging Branches Are Peril 1 Mindful of the fact that with the general public now walking. Mayor McCorkle has taken steps to have low hanging branches of trees eliminated. The attention of the mayor was called to the matter last week, several civilians declaring that on 'koine streets the branches are to low, that people using the sidewalks have to stoop to get by them. Several laj stances of near accidents caused by branches striking people in the face i after darkness had//made visibility 'poor, were reportety^ _. . A business man, ?wralklng north on Broad street near O^iestnut reported that he almost had o^e of his eyes punctured when he brbehfctL^1!^ * branch as he was walking In the Darkness. The "mayor Indicated that he would issne* orders for an Immediate checkup of "the streets of the city and where branches wer^hangtng low over the sidewalks, wonld have them eliminated He aleo stated that rough, uneven walks would be repaired.
