THE DANGER f
FOREST FIRES
Washington, 'March 9—The possi
bility of a dangerous spring and
summer fire season in the national
forests in the west is presaged by
reports that two forest fires oc
curred lu January and that the
snowfall in much of the Rocky
mountain region and in the foi»
hills has been much below normal,
t'ue Forest Service announces.
January fires are almost unheard
of in the national forests and the
enow reports are regarded as es
pecially significant, as they indicate
| that unless the deficiency is ma.le
| up the forests will be dry earlier
in the spring than usual, with con
sequent increases of the fire ineua:e.
The fires reported occurred in
the Pike forest, in Colorado, and iu
the Black hills forest, in South Da
kota. The latter is believed to
have been of Incendiary origin, ac
cording to the district forester at
Denver. The total area burned over
comprised about 75 acres.
The district forest at Ogden,
Utah, in charge of the national for
ests in Nevada, Utah, and southern
Idaho, reported that the snow in thi
region abo fell below normal.
MAKE OLD NEPTUNE WOltK
Venice, Cal., March !i—-"Make
the waves undo the damage tUoy
have done." That, in effect, is
what W. D. McKinney of I-os
Angeles advised the Venice city
trustees to do.
Captain McKinney proposes lo
makd old Neptun® replace th<
stretcheo of beach he encroached up
on during the recent Btorm wlier
giant brtakers waBhed away lo-.u
stretches ot the Venice bathing
beach.
He proposes to drive at low
tide lines a row of Interlocking fii
piles to a depth of eight feet, leav
ing four teet projecting back of thit
row at 10-feet Intervals, four ro.vs
of piling whose tops are on a lev
el with the first row.
Every 10 feet of length, cross
ssctions ot piling would be sunk tc
form bins, timbered around the top.
These bins would be expected to
hold the sand washed up by the
tide.

INTEREST IX DIVERSIFIED
FARMING IS SPiiHADI.N'ti
Washington, D. C., .'.larch H
A signfflcant indication of the
spread of southern interest in di
versified faj-ming is contained In the
estimate of the Bureau of Crop Es
timates that more than double the
quantity of oats—102 percent to be
exact—va-j sown In the cotton
states last fall than in 1913.
The fall sowings In 1913 amount
ed to approximately 1,872,000 acres
in 1914 to 3,775,000 acres, an in
crease of 1,903,000 acres. If the
same acreage is sown to spring
oats this year as last, the 1915
crop in the cotton states will lie
more than 6,257,000 acres. Recent
leports, moreover, indicate an inten
tion to increase the Bpring sowings
as well.
The increase in the fall sowings
of wheat, though not so great as
with oats, is still very considerable.
It amounts to 1,812,000 acres, or
an increase of 33 percent. The to
tal increare in the acreage sown
to fall wheat and oats is 3,700,000,
or more than 10 percent of the
land planted in cotton in the spring
of 1914. Even if the spring sead
ings of oats and wheat show no
departure from the practice of form
er years, this decrease of 10 per
cent in the cotton acreage will be
appreciable, says the department of
agriculture.
