PLANES USED IN FOREST SURVEY FOR FIRE DRIVE 0 two National Guard Ships Fly Over Many Acres of Indiana Trees. The military air service played an interesting part in a forestry survey by the state conservation department preparatory to establishment of a fire tower service. When Richard Lieber, department director, asked that a survey be made in certain southern localities, national guard airplanes were ofiered by Adjutant-General Manford G. Henley. Two planes, piloted by Major R. P. Taylor and Lieutenant M. G. Carpenter, had as passngers George W. Freeman of Kokomo, state representative from Howard county, and Ralph P. Wilcox, state forester. A flight was charted south over Brown, Jackson, Washington and Chirk counties, and west over Floyd, Harrison, Crawford, Perry and Spencer counties, thence north over Dubois, Martin, Lawrence, Greene, Owen and Morgan counties. / Six Fires Sighted In many places, says Wilcox, large forested areas of one to 1,500 acres were encountered. Six forest fires were burning. Twenty-three recently burned areas of dead trees on a total area estimated at 6,340 acres, were noted. Thousands of acres of old burns of previous years were observed. According to Representative Freeman one can never realize the importance of a definite system of forest fire protection unless they view from the air the enormous damage caused to timber and wild life by fires. Federal Aid Available The federal government offers SB,IOO to the department of conservation toward an adequate program of fire protection. Northern Indiana needs this protection along the Kankakee and Yellow rivers and in Elkhart and Lagrange counties, just as well as the more heavily timbered artas of the south, according to Director Lieber. The conservation department protects 28,000 acres of parks, game preserves and state forests with towers and' adequate organization, but private forest lands are entirely without protection, it is pointed out. If the legislature provides a sum equal to Ihat offered by the federal government, $15,200 will be available next year to build a system of watch towers to guard hundreds of thousands of acres of timber lands from fire.
