DIRIGIBLE BALLOONS FOR FOREST 

 FIRE FIGHTING 



"M" ILLIONS of dollars' worth of valuable 

 timiber has been saved the Govern- 

 ment during the season just closed, by the 

 use of ainplanes in forest fire fighting, says 

 a San Francisco dispatch. Fires can be 

 so accurately plotted by wireless from the 

 planes that fire fighters can be directed 

 to within a quarter of a mile of the exact 

 location. Plans are now being made for 

 the enlargement of the airplane patrol ser- 

 vice for next season. It is also proposed 

 to employ navy dirigible balloons for trans- 



porting fire fighters from the fire control 

 stations to the fire. Men, with all equip- 

 ment, will be loaded into the dirigible, taken 

 directly to the scene and dropped by means 

 of a long rope ladder. Aside from the 

 saving of millions of dollars to the nation, 

 the service is training, for future emerg- 

 ency, scores of army flyers. 



NEW FOREST SERVICE DISTRICT 



IN ALASKA 

 'T'HE establishment of a new field dis- 

 trict comprising the Chugach and 

 Tongass National Forests in Alaska, with 

 headquarters at Juneau, is announced by 

 the Forest Service, to take effect January 

 1, 1921. The new district will be in charge 

 of District Forester Charles H. Flory, who 

 is at present Superintendent of National 

 Forests in Alaska. The establishment of 

 the new district was decided upon in order 

 to facilitate the transaction of the growing 

 business of the two Alaskan National For- 

 ests, and is in line with the policy of de- 

 centralized administration of the Forest 

 Service. Nearly all of the business of 

 the Alaskan forests will be transacted in 

 the future on the ground by the district 

 forester and the local forest officers, the 

 officials of the Forest Service state.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION FOR 

 WOODLAND OWNERS 



TN response to a widespread demand for 

 fundamental and practical information 

 on forestry presented in untechnical lan- 

 guage, the United States Department of 

 Agriculture has just published Department 

 Bulletin 863, "Forestry Lessons on Home 

 Woodlands." 



This bulletin is in the form of lessons for 

 school use ; but it conatins a wealth of up- 

 to date information on the principles and 

 practice of forestry that will meet also 

 the requirements of the farmer and the 

 general public. The farmers of the United 

 States own more timberland than all other 

 private timberland owners put together 

 and the proper handling of their wood- 

 lands will go a long way toward check- 

 ing the shrinkage in our timber supply
