EFFECT OF SLOPE ON FOREST 

 FIRES 

 QN south slopes of. mountains and hills 

 the per cent of destructive fires is twice 

 as great as on north slopes and three and 

 a half times as great as on level land, 

 states S. B. Shaw, Forest Examiner, after 

 an exhaustive study of the subject in Cali- 

 fornia, as quoted by The Forest Patrol- 

 man, Portland, Oregon. He also has 

 found that in the early and late parts of 

 the fire season a very high per cent of all 

 fires occurs on the south slopes while during 

 the peak of the fire season north and south 

 slopes are about equally represented ; that 

 during a period of years 65 per cent more 

 fires have occurred on south slopes than 

 on north slopes and, on the average, fires 

 occur on north slopes only 80 per cent as 

 often as on south. The east and west 

 slopes in the state occupy an intermediate 

 position between north and south slopes. 

 It is claimed that at least as a partial cause, 

 the higher percentage of fires on south 

 slopes is due to the greater proportion of 

 brush fields because fires in brush spread 

 more rapidly than in timber, and there is 

 more moisture on north slopes than on 

 south ones. 



WOMAN'S EFFORTS BRING SHADE 

 TO TREELESS TOWN 



'T'HIS year Freedom, Wyoming, is en- 

 joying the novelty of shade trees along 

 its streets and on its lawns because one of 

 its woman residents had vision enough to 

 see trees there and determination enough 

 to get them planted. This public-spirited 

 individual set as her goal 250 trees in 

 Freedom in six months, but so popular 

 did the movement become that early sum- 

 mer found 1,460 trees planted. 



Freedom is located in the treeless por- 

 tion of Wyoming. No native trees grow 

 there, and up to this year none had been 

 imported. The shadeless streets and 

 lawns were unquestionably in need of 

 trees, both for comfort and beauty, but 

 as nothing was done about it they re- 

 mained treeless. Last year the woman 

 who decided that Freedom had gone tree- 

 less long enough wrote the State home 

 demonstration leader the local women 

 were not organized into a club and 

 asked if she could help her start a move- 

 ment to plant trees in her town. The 

 State leader suggested that she write the 

 forestry division at the State Agricul- 

 tural College and ask what kind of tree 

 would do best in that part of the State. 

 She was advised that blue spruce did 

 very w^ell there and that the division 

 would be glad to furnish them to the 

 town for 4 or 5 cents apiece. 



The price was so nominal and the de- 

 sire for trees so strong among Freedom 

 residents that once an opportunity was 

 given to acquire them with little effort 

 everyone wanted trees, and the result was 

 1,460 planted in the town in six months.
