AMERICAN /FORESTRY

of American lumbermen and exporters. 



Seventy-five per cent ofj the forests of Fin- 

 land are pine and spruce, and about 25 per 

 cent broad-leafed species. Exports before 

 the war were confined mostly to European 

 countries. Now, however, Finnish export- 

 ers are making energetic efforts to widen 

 the scope of their activities, the Trade Com- 

 missioner tells American lumbermen who 

 may feel the force of this greater com- 

 petition in their foreign markets. 



The report covers Finland's forest re- 

 sources, lumber industry and lumber export 

 trade in exhaustive fashion. It discusses 

 the forests, lumber manufacture, cost of 

 production, export trade, prices, character 

 of timber, markets, shipping and similar 

 subjects in detail. It is known as Special 

 Agents Series No. 207 : "Forest Resources, 

 Lumber Industry and Lumber Export 

 Trade of Finland." Its price is 30 cents a 

 copy, and it can be obtained from the Su- 

 perintendent of Documents, Government 

 Printing Office, Washington, D. C, and 

 from the district and cooperative offices 

 of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic 

 Commerce. 



CALIFORNIA SERVICE MEN GIVE 

 UP SMOKING 



Realizing the danger of forest fires from 

 burning tobacco even when used in the 

 woods by the most careful persons. Dis- 

 trict Forester Paul G. Redington has called 

 upon the field men of the National Forests 

 of the California District to refrain volun- 

 tarily from smoking during the next few 

 months of extreme fire danger. 



"The forest ranger recognizes," the Dis- 

 trict Forester said, "that smoking accidents 

 will happen and that even the most careful 

 man has lapses." Further, it is, of course, 

 the duty of every forest officer to do every- 

 thing within his power by example, educa- 

 tion, and otherwise to eliminate the serious 

 hazard which results from careless smokers 

 in the forests. 



"A large body of forest officers will un- 

 doubtedly go without their smokes this sum- 

 mer for the good of the cause and this fact 

 should be an important factor in driving 

 home the idea of care with fire, both to the 

 general public and to the thousands of peo- 

 ple who come in contact with the rangers 

 on the job," said Mr. Redington. 



"I am asking every one of the more than 

 500 field men in this District who is a smok- 

 er if he desires to place himself on record 

 as agreeing to refrain from smoking in the 

 woods during the dangerous fire season, ex- 

 cept when in camp or at regular places of 

 habitation, and I believe that I know our 

 forest officers well enough to say that the 

 large majority will be glad to deprive them- 

 selves of a friendly pipe or cigarette as they 

 go about their work this summer if they 

 can help the cause of forest fire prevention 

 by so doing," the District Forester re- 

 marked. 



At present the fire situation is very -critical. 



Precipitation has been very low, this year, 

 with the prevalence of hot, dry winds and 

 the opening of the deer hunting season 

 within the next few days in several of the 

 coast counties, increases the fire hazard 

 considerably. However, the forest officers 

 are hoping that the great number of users 

 of the National Forests will be more care- 

 ful this year than ever before, and that the 

 percentage of man-caused fires may be 

 greatly reduced from the high figure that 

 it has held for the past several years.
