Show s ' TUB BUfCHAM ffEWS Experiment Station Counts Fire Loss in the South NEW ORLEANS, LA One out of every four longleaf pines, and one out of every nine shortleaf, in the virgin forests of the south bear visible fire gears, according to E. L. Demon of the Southern Forest Experiment station here. The experiment sta-tion has recently undertaken a study of the amount and extent of fire dam-age to mature timber. This damage to virgin timber is a substantial por-tion of the tremendous fire loss in the southern forests which, in 1924, amounted to 75.5 per cent of the total fire loss in the United States, and covered 84.3 per cent of the area throughout the country burned over by forest fires. Representative stands of original timber were carefully surveyed in the four states of Texas, Louisiana, Ar-kansas and Mississippi. In these for-ests Mr. Demon found that the dam-age to longleaf pine was more than twice as great as that to shortleaf pine. This is accounted for partly by the fact that the biggest fires are In the more southerly "piney woods" region where long leaf pine predom-inates ,and partly because of the greater pitchiness of the longleaf pine. The per centage of trees dam-aged increased with their size. Ovet 50 per cent of the largest trees of both species were scarred. It was found that in many in-stances the fire wounds in the smaller trees heal over, so that finally no scar may be visible until the tree is cut down. In these cases, however, as well as as in the more obvious damage to the larger trees, the loss remains in the damage to the butt log of the trees, the most valuable timber that the tree will yield. This loss takes several forms, such a high stumps left standing, lower portions of the butt log left lying in the woods, and later in lumber which must be discarded or degraded be-cause of the pitch. On this account, boards that would probably otherwise grade "B" must often be thrown into No. 1 common and sometimes into No. 2 comcon. Oamage from scarring of mature trees is but one of the ways in which fire is destroying the pine forests of the south. The Southern Forest Ex-periment station is devoting a con-siderable proportion of its efforts to the study of the effect of fire in all of its many aspects. When in Salt Lake itop at A. C.

Added to the most beautiful and expensive floral tributes ever seen was a silver cross of mosiac de-sign. All this pathetic splendor was witnessed by scores of noted screen stars who were admitted by card only to witness the solemn high requiem mass at the old Church of Good Shepherd and as the solemn cortege 'made its way to the cemetery air-planes swooped down and strew rose-buds in the pathway of the funeral procession. And surh was the ending 'of the colorful life of a young man who came to this country only a few years bark without a dollar in his pocket and unknown.

TO MY FRIENDS During my administration of the business of the county assessor's of-fice for the last six years, a record of efficiency has been established and maintained, which has received the hearty endorsement and approval of the taxpayers and citizens, and has reflected credit on the Republican party. In the election four years ago I led the Republican ticket and in the convention I won over my opponent by a vote of three to one. Upon this record I am respectfully seeking renomination. M. L.
