To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Old burns are being reclaimed by tree growth. The fire-control battle on the national forests is far from over, however. Figure 6 shows that protective measures still fail to keep losses within allowable limits on nearly one third of the area requiring protection. Here the average annual burned area is almost five times as great as can be tolerated. More progress is required along many lines in still more public care with fire and less public indifference to incendiarism and to fires in " brush..." which are really burning up young tree growth. The preventable fires from railroads, land clearing, lumbering, and other industrial or business operations have not all been eliminated by a considerable margin; methods of slash disposal still need much improvement; more physical means in men, improvements, and equipment are required; greater efficiency in the manpower must be sought by continued training; active cooperation must be further developed; still more effective action on adjoining State, county, and private lands must be stimulated; a substitute must be found for private protection effort where it has broken down under the overload of cut-over lands ; and much more fire research in all lines is indispensable.
