Forest fires in the district
c a use serious damage each
year by the actual destruction
of merchantable trees, killing
of young pine seedlings and
the removal of vegetation from
the forest floor which serves as
a fertilizer and mulch for the
trees and helps to reduce run-
off and water 'erosion. The
soil and ashes washed from
burned woodlands pollute our
streams and reduce fish and
wild life inoculations, accord-
ing to Roy B. Woolley, Soil
Conservation Service.
Records show that over 99
per cent of all the forest fires
last year were man caused,
with 4 per cent by lightning.
You can help prevent serious
fires by never leaving the fire
until you are sure it is com-
pletely out.
White Dutch Clover Planting
October is a good month to
seed White Dutch Clover, in
that the young clover seedlings
will have an opportunity to
develop a good root system be
fore the severe cold weather
-arrives. Many district co-op-
erators who are planning to
plant White Dutch this fall are
putting it on their moist fer-
tile soils at the rate of 3 lbs. to
5 lbs. per acre.
Many of those who fdo not
have phosphate to apply be-
fore planting are planning to
broadcast the phosphate over
the seeded area at the rate of
4 to 6 lbs. per acre when
phosphate l(ecomes available.
If you have not aajmt receiv-
ed your winter cover 'crop

and should be planted during
October.

For every week as well as
Fire Prevention Week, the
Department of Agriculture has
made these suggestions to rural
people for stopping fire losses:
Keep handy at all times at
least a few fire-fighting tools,
such as water pails, tall lad-
ders and fire extinguishers.
Establish fire breaks around
haystacks, farm buildings and
maturing crops of high fire
hazard and go over the farm
carefully looking for fire haz-
ards and getting rid of them.
Enlist the aid of local fire offi-
cials in making frequent in-
spections of the premises; in-
stall proper lightning rods; and
try to make new buildings fire-
safe. Remember that the best
way to fight fire is to keep it
from starting.
War Assets Announces
651 Sales For October
WAA has announced that a
total of 651 sales of surplus

October.
Of this number, the Houston
regional office of WAA has
five scheduled in South Texas:

College Station.—East Tex-
as forest fire losses in 1945
amounted to more than two
and a half million dollars, in-
formation gathered by the
Texas Forest Service, A. and
M. College shows. A five year
average, 1941 through 1945,
indicates a total damage of
$10,000,000, approximately
$2,000,000 a year.
J. O. Burnside, fire control
chief of the Texas Forest Serv-
ice said that the damage esti-
mate was based on death of
young pine seedlings, killing of
some older timber, and slowing
down of wood growth result-
ing from damage to tree trunks
and foliage.
The most -serious destruction
was the killing of millions ~*
young seedlings needed to
generate East Texas forests for
future use, he said.
Little trees, some of them
hardly two inches high, hidden
away in the needles, leaves and
grass are immediately destroy-
ed by forest flame*.
Some of these seedlings are
so small that they sre hard to
see and many people who view
a burned over area are given
the impression that fires have
done no harm, he stated.
What actually happens
that at least two years and
often seven to 10 years elapse
before new seedlings get
start. By then brushy growth
may have taken over the area
and the chances for new pines
to seed in are great lessened
'!It is pretty hard for our
woodland owners to carry on
profitable timber growing
when a fire may set back their
forest from two to ten years,”
Burnside said.
He pointed out that there
were also examples where the
growth of large pine timber
had been slowed up as much as
64 per cent for several years
following a forest fire.
BRONZE TURKEYS GROW
WHITE FEATHERS *
College Station.—Some Tex-
as producers are concerned be-
cause their growing young
bronze turkeys are developing
many white feathers. Low
protein feeding, not breeding,
is the cause says Prof. D. H.
Reid" of the department of
poultry husbandry at the A. &
M. College of Texas.
As a preventive, he advises
adding five pounds or more of
meat and bone scraps, or soy- investigation
bean meal, to each 100 pounds j wfir proatg.”

Farmers to Obtain More
Surplus Property
In an effort to help farmers
obtatin more surplus war
goods, WAA regulations have
recently been revised to expe-
dite action on certificates of
impairment from the Depart-
ment of Agriculture.
It is the policy of WAA to
make reasonable quantities of
surplus equipment and farm
production supplies available
for disposal in rural areas to
farmers and fanners coopers
tive associations whenever s
shortage cf such items threat-
ens to impair farm production.
The Department of Agricul-
ture certificate of impairment
authorizes the farmer or the
farm' group to purchase war
surplus material.
As a further means of speed-
ing critically needed farm,
equipment to farmers, WAA is
disposing of certain designated
surplus items, to farm organ-
izations, distributors, dealers,
wholesalers. manufacturers,
jobbers, processors, or others
who customarily use the type
of property offered or .distri-
bute It' by resale to fanners.
