SCIENTIFIC FIRE FIGHTING. 



NOTICE TO SETTLERS ! 



Have you any slash to burn this 

 spring-? If you have, apply to the 

 fire-guardian of your district who 

 will give you a permit for this pur- 

 pose, the work being carried out 

 under his supervision, and by fol- 

 lowing the instructions of the fire- 

 guardian, you are relieved of all 

 responsibility ; at the same time you 

 assist in protecting the forest which 

 is in your interests and the interests 

 of all. 



The forest is a vital part of the 

 Province of Quebec; therefore, let 

 us keep it alive. "A single tree can 

 produce millions of matches and a 

 single match can destroy millions of 

 trees." 



Let us be prudent! Let us pro- 

 tect this forest! We Need It!

 tive Association, Limited, Three

FORESTERS AND RANGERS 



EVERYTHING YOU NEED CAN BE SUPPLIED BY OS 



Albany, N.Y. — Forest fire fighting along scien- 

 tific lines was instituted by the Conservation 

 Commission to-day when Assistant Superintendent 

 of State Forests, W. G. Howard, mailed to every 

 member of the forest fire field force a United 

 States topographic sheet covering each ranger's 

 territory, with a set of colored crayons for con- 

 verting it into a graphic fire map of his district. 

 With all of the different types of forest indicated 

 with respect to their inflammability by different 

 colors on the map and with telephone lines and 

 instruments, roads and trails, camp stores and 

 supplies of tools located by appropriate symbols, 

 it is intended that the fire map shall furnish a 

 basis for determining in advance how fires under 

 every condition and in every location should be 

 fought.
