HoTv Japan Fights Fires 



Patrol methods are followed in 

 protecting- Japanese forests from 

 destruction by fire, a ranger's dis- 

 trict covering from 5,000 to 6,000 

 acres. Volunteers fight the fires. 

 When areas are cleared for reforest- 

 ing, lines of about 40 yards in width 

 are left open, and kept clear to pre- 

 vent the spread of fires. In Japan 

 there are seven major forest dis- 

 tricts, and within these are 205 sub- 

 divisions, all under comprehensive 

 control. Areas may be cleared for 

 farming, but in Japan the farm units 

 are small, averaging only three 

 axrres for each farm. 



White Bark Pine's Range 



Some new northern range marks 

 for Pinus albicaulis, the white bark 

 pine, were reported last summer by 

 members of the British Columbia 

 Forest Service. Mr. H. R. Christie 

 found some rather large trees grow- 



ing at the western end of Eutsuk 

 Lake, and also on the shores of 

 Whitesail Lake, a smaller lake im- 

 mediately north of Eutsuk and sep- 

 arated from it by a short portage a 

 little over a mile in length. The 

 latitude is about 53° 30' and the al- 

 titude of the lakes in the neighbor- 

 hood of 3,000 feet, The lakes lie at 

 the extreme western margin of the 

 great interior plateau region, direct- 

 ly against the eastern side of the 

 Cascade Range, which extends along 

 here like an enormous wall.
