Excerpt from Forest Fires and Their Prevention: Including Forest Fires in North Carolina During 1910 During 1909 the United States Forest Service attempted to collect uniform data on the prevalence and destructiveness of forest fires in all the various States. The North Carolina Geological and Economic Sur vey co - Operated with the Forest Service in this work in this State, and got together some very interesting - figures. Though admittedly incom plete, these were published by the State Survey in Economic Paper N o. 19, Forest Fires in North Carolina During This publication 'heis been scattered widely through the State, and is still available for distribution. It should be read in connection with the present report in order to best understand the application of the figures and to obtain much information which it was thought best not to repeat. Owing to the failure of many of the States to obtain sufficient reliable information, the general fire study of the Forest Service, which was in tended to_ be annual and permanent, has been discontinued. The North Carolina Geological and Economic Survey then had to decide as to the advisability of continuing the collection of these figures unaided. Though the data collected last year was far from satisfactory, still it was thought that the economic and educational value of such figures was great enough to warrant the expense of collecting them. With the hope, therefore, of increasing their accuracy and broadening their influence, the Survey determined to continue the collection of this infor mation in regard to the annual destruction by forest fires.
