Co-operation Ousts Fire 



We keep up the work through this 

 large organization and the progress 

 we are making in the technique of fire 

 protective work is such that w^e have 

 found it to be much better. We have 

 found that much better work can be 

 done by cooperation than anyone 

 could do alone. After some little 

 time we reached the position where 

 w'e had 13,000,000 acres of timber land 

 that were being patrolled by the as- 

 sociation, and a little over 20,000,000 

 —between 20,000,000 and 25,000,000 

 acres of timber land that was begin- 

 ning to think seriously of coming into 

 line, and our local association worked 

 W'ith the State and the Government, 

 not only in general harmony, but very 

 often in a cooperative scheme in which 

 we split the territory; we contributed 

 so much to this scheme, so did the 

 State, and so did the Federal Govern- 

 ment. If our man happened to be the 

 best man he w^ould get the appoint- 

 ment as Warden and by putting on 

 these men and by chipping in we are 

 getting an organization together so 

 that we have very little fire. We 

 found we could control things in a 

 normal year, but there come situa- 

 tions in an abnormal year that are 

 very hard to cope with, and our ef- 

 forts have been for four or five years 

 to form our organization, not for a 

 ■normal year, but for an abnormal 

 year, and putting the three agencies 



together and combining the interests 

 of all of them, we have been able to 

 better meet the situation. 



What Publicity Does 



In publicity work dealing with the 

 general education of the people, we 

 have tried to make progress. We 

 have had posters generally circulated 

 and slides in moving picture houses, 

 and I made arrangements w4th a
