Experiment With Firs. Fire Chief Menace. After eight years of ectentific re- search Dr. J. V. Hofmann, director of the Wind River forest experiment mation, at Stabler, Wash. bas dis- covered « way of reforestation of cut- over timber lands without the ex- pense of artificial planting. Entirely new methods of investiga- tion were used, which sought to solve the problem of how much heat conf- erous seed, particularly of Douglas fir, will stand without loss of vital- ity, The results obtained prove con-| clustvely, it is claimed, that the elim- | ination of repeated forest fires ts| practically all that Is necessary in | most cases to secure a new forest. | The foresters of the Wind Kiver | station found that great quantities of tree seed, chiefly of Douglas fir! which retain their vitality for many | yours, are stored in the mons and) duft of the forest floor, Where lum- | bering operations open the denne| stand and permit the sunlight to penetrate to the ground, a new crop of little trees ts almost sure to spring up. But should a forest fire sweep over the area and destroy the little pecdiinngs and also the few trees that | are left, the possibility of the re- newal of the forest by nature, un-| ansiated, is forever lost, and planting by hand ts the only method by which the land can then be restocked. Thru a series of tests made under conditions similar to those on com- mercial logging operations in the Pa- cific Northwest, Dr. Hofmann firat determined the heat intensity of for- est fires, After menmuiring the haat produced by different kinds of fires, the next step was to determine accurately the temperatures that destroy the vital- ity of coniferous need, In thone teats the same instruments were again brought into play. A large number of | unopened Douglas fir and other tree perimental ternperaturen were ob-| tained by means of a spectal heating apparatus equipped with electric plates. ‘These experiments proved that the feeds in an unoponed coniferous tree cone would stand no less than 1,100 | degrees I, for periods of from 6 to & minutes without losing their vitality completely. It was also found that | all needs that fall to the forest floor | from cones that ripen on the treen, are almost entirely consumed by seeds that are buried deep tn the iitter and duff are ittle affected by much fires. ‘These experiments prove, Dr. Hof- mann claims, that tn the northwest- ern forexts all that tm needed to bring back a xecond growth of timber tw to control firea—Popular Mechanics | ~ was sending me, a tho 1 wore «| wi from blow, we Gnd tie wine for | ur conversation, He gave me the | key, @ direction about the steps and | doom ie even said there Was & box vf biscuit on Use dining room table which 1 ghould bring up. it was edi, | you sos, monsiour, quite aa tho | were an undergraduate from some Hnglish public school.” | The man looked down at his firm, | placid bands resting upon and ob } jeouring the arms of the obair in| | which be mat. | “Thia, monsiour,” he said, “is a) | portion of my evidence which the Hnglish criminal court refused to be- | It wan incredibly stupid!” Jonquelie lieve.
