Excerpt from Forest Fires and Their Prevention: Including Forest Fires in North Carolina During 1910 The past year was noteworthy for two quite severe droughts, extend ing over the entire State, though generally more severe in the eastern part. The greatest deficiency in precipitation occurred in March, the rainfall for that month being less than for any previous March for which there are any records. Practically no rain fell after March 12th. This droughty condition, which lasted up to the middle of April, and was accompanied by high winds, made the danger from forest fires very great. Destructive fires broke out in many counties before the end of Marchand continued with increasing frequency and severity up to the middle of April, when a general rain restored normal conditions. June was a wet month, the rainfall all over the State being markedly in excess of the normal. Heavy summer rains continued at intervals until September, when dry weather again commenced, though in the moun tains rain fell generally until October. The fall drought lasted until December 3d. November was very dry, only about one-fourth of the normal rainfall occurring over the whole State. Very severe fires occurred during this season, both in the mountains and in the eastern part of the State. Altogether, the year 1910 showed a slightly greater rainfall than the previous year, though a little less than the normal amount of precipitation was recorded.

Excerpt from Forest Fires in North Carolina During 1914: And Forestry Laws of North Carolina The only possible reason for this condition is that our people them selves are not well enough informed on this subject. They do not yet realize the pressing necessity for a permanent supply of timber for our industries and for the people as a whole. They do not yet understand that where seedlings and young trees of our more valuable species are killed by fire our future forests will be of greatly reduced value; that burnt - over forests yield the minimum returns in timber, while protected forests yield the maximum; that unburnt forests pay the highest returns to the owners, to the community, and to the State.
