Forests Provide A Bulwark 
 
(fro the Moultrie Observer) 
 
Forest lads are a ~ratively CCIIIIIIII'l sitdtt in the Sauthl.ni. Georaia has its full share of the forests. a.at have YQU ever, llobile glalcing at these stately trees and the yomg seedlings peepins. up through the grass, given stOOled thouaht to the great significance of these forested acres? 
Georgia, accordinl to recent reports, ranks second in the nation in forest aareap. 'nlere are an estillllted 25,000,000 acres allocated to forests. 
Thds is smaller than the acreace which 
stood in vircin forests a half:-century or 
 
sliahtly more ~ :aat it represents a 1aiii in the last fert years, for fire pro- 
tection proer._ and reforestation are 
beinlr Rt"acticed to a far p-eate r extent thanoefore World War II. 
These forests which cover a considerable portion of Georgia's landed territory, are a vital J&rt of the state's economy. Latest figures show that forests contribute about $300,000,000 IDUllJ.y to the income of the people thrquah all ~ of the indwtey. SUI'V'eyll bBVe sholil that 
about 120,000 Glord- are esployed in

Damage Figures Emphasize Severity of Fire Season; April Losses High 
 
During the seven months period between October 1 and April 30- ttie worst forest  fire season experienced in Georgia in a decade - 9,000 separate wildfires s~t over more than 281,000 acres of Georg1a forest land in protected cCU'lties alone. nwere is no way to determine fire losses in ~rotected CCU'lties. 
In discloein& fiaures on the fire loss in protected CCUtties since October 1, ' Guytan DeLoach, State Forester, stressed the fact that anly tht~ the vicilance, efficimcy and tenacity of the fire fiaht- 
in& forces has a much larger fire loss 
been averted. DeLoach stated that ''thtauahaut the fire seaaan fire suppressian forces of the Forestry Canid..ianl private ird.astry ard otller orl&nbat 01111 have been cCiimined in their 1reatest fi~ a11Ln.t forest fire loss in ten wars.'' 
 
' 'l.ilny times during the pest fire season. our fire crews have worked far past the point of seeming h\.1181l emurance, ard only in recent weeks have the weary fire fighters knoiT.n any respite fran the 24-hour-a-day, 7-day-a-week fight to quickly detect , locate and suppress wildfires ,'' said DeLoach. ''1he average size of the fires has been kept dOMl. 1he work of the Coulty Rangers and their assistants has prevented a loss many times Areater than that actually suf fered, he said. 
1he record fire seasan has resulted from the ccnditians of drought and high winds that have prevailed over the state for extended periods. M.Jch of the time the woods have renained in a tinder-box canditian with continuous fire danger

FIRE SEASON  
 
(Continued from PaRe 2) 
 
daily readinp of Class Faur and Five. Fires haw started easily, spread rf.!Pidly and wildl{. and been extremely difficult to cantro  
High points in the fire season, from the standpoint of numbers of fires and acreage losses in protected cOlA'lties, were during the last faur months of J..uary, February, March and April. The moat severe losses were suffered during February when fire danaer con:l.itions reined explosive for a considerable length of time and 2,388 fires burned over 81,556 acres. Aoril was the seccnl worst manth with 1,681 fires covering 63,634 acresJ due to the fat:t that conditions of araught and high winds continuediDJCh longer than usual this spring. Nornally, the nigh danger of destructive fires and large losses is lessened by the end of March, and by the beginning of April, the worst part of the fire season 
 
is passed. n.tri!lll March of this year, 1,452 fires burned 45,637 acres, and January fire dsmap fiaures for protected CCUlties show 1, 671 fires with 45, 175 acres b.arned. 
Carele11ness and incendiarism were the two principal causes of the destructive forest fires in _protected COlA'lties of the state. Many fires were started from burning and clearing operations in fields, pastures and new-~rOI.fti, and from soC!llled ''control burning'' operations in wooded areas. Large numers of fires were started by canpfires wilt by hunters, fishennen and campers, and by motorists who threw li~ted cigarettes and matches out of car w1ndows. DeLoach added ''that to reduce the fire loss from malicious incendiarism, we are intensifying and expanding the law enforcement activities of the Ccmni.ssicn. ' '
