i to danger from fires principally i- 

 ,he spring and fall, when most of the trees are bare and the lea T < 

 on the ground are dry. The spring fires, many of which are due tr 

 trout fishermen, may destroy the eggs of game "birds and even yoi-- 

 birds themselves. Since trout fishermen are likely to hunt in thu 

 fall, the same individuals, if careless, may be a source of dange- 



at both seasons. 





 It is suggested that the manufacturers of arms and t?r 



munition ought to be sufficiently interested in the matter of pc-j 

 petuation of game to be willing to help in the campaign against 

 forest fires. This help may come through the printing of some brj 

 fire warning on cartridge boxes, or some slip to go with any hui- 

 or camp supplies which are furnished. Several manufacturers ha^ ' 

 already expressed their interest in the matter and their willin- 

 to help.
