OUTDOOR FIRES IN

INDIANA SHOW BIG JUMP IN 2 MONTHS INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., April 19 (Special) The reecnt widespread fire at Tippecanoe River State Park hag focussed attention sharply on. the problem of forest fires in Indiana, . Milton Matter, director of the Indiana Department of Conservation, said today. "Figures compiled by our Division of Forestry show that during the months of February and March there were twice as many outdoor fires in Southern Indiana as during the entire year of 1946," Mr. Matter said. "Carelessness is the answer, of course. In only two months several thousand acres of woods and grass-lard-were burned over, costing 1 Hoosiers thousands of dollars." j Most outdoor fires ar cau'ed jby farmers burning brush and debris. Mr. Matter said. In four southern counties dur - I ing March, five fire law violators jwere fined after causing devastation of 5G4 acres. In the Ferdinand State Forest in DuI bois county, 130 acres were burned over because .a mill onerafor driving a steam engine did not have a spark arrester. Brush "and debris burners cause most firps. plthou smokers are responsible for -a few Earlier this month 1,400 acres of grass and young trees were I area of the Tippecanoe . River State Park. Some private holding; also were destroyed ;n '-he blaze, which lasted for 18 hours. The damage would have been even greater, in Indiana this year without the assistance of volunteer forest fire fighting crews. Particularly commended by the Department of Conservation were hih school crews :?rom Corydon, Pekin, Mauchport, New Salisbury, DeFauw and Martinsburg. The island of Ceylon, in the Indian ocean, has over 3,000 species of birds and many varieties of reptiles, amoag the most prominent being the crocodile.

PROCLAMATION Indiana's greatest heritage is itr fertile soil. Upon its care depends the prosperity and happiness of its citizens in the years ahead. More than eight million acres of Indiana's cropland has been damaged by erosion. More than one million of these acres has

been so seriously affected they are no longer, suited agricultural uses. Under the Indiana law, conservation districts have been established in thirty that for soil now Indiana counties and cover approximately six million, acres. In addition, every county has actively participated in the study and adoption of soil conservation practices. The State Soil Conservation Committee, the U. S. Soil Conservation Service, Purdue University through its Agricultural Experiment Station and Extension Department, the State Department of Conservation, the Agricultural Adjustment Agency, and many other agencies and 1 farm organizations are assisting farmers in this great and important work. In recognition of the splendid work, and in anticipation- of n still greater task ahead, I. Ralph F. Gates, Governor, do hereby designate the week of April 22nd to 29th, 1946, inclusive, as INDIANA SOIL CONSERVATION WEEK I urge all citizens, both rural and urban, privately and through their organizations, to protect our fair states and take nctive J steps to stop the ravages of soil erosion and the inroads being . made upon the roil through in ' discriminate use of land. During the week and throughout year, I earnestly appeal to Indiana people to join in worthy movement, to give sistance in every porsible the 1 all j this asin the care of the soil, and to unite in protecting and expand
