The rest of the crew followed, setting fire to the piles of brush and debris, firing back from the outer edges of the fire line toward the center, and taking precaution not to let the fire spread beyond the boundaries of the fire line. Piling the debris is not, as a rule, necessary, since the slash on" the logged lands is usually bunched. This is due to the logging method in use. The level country permits the use of logging wheels, and, to give space for operating these, the slash has to be rem...oved from around the felled trees. This results in throwing the slash together sufficiently for burning. Fifteen miles of fire line were burned in 1905 in the above manner, at an average cost of $15 per mile. These 15 miles afford protection to about 15, 000 acres of cut-over land, at a cost of 1 J cents per acre. THE PATROL. A patrol route was laid out at the beginning of the season of 1905. This route was 25 miles in length and practically encircled the experi- mental area. It passed through those parts of the tract where fire danger is greatest, in places following the fire lines, but usually skirting the higher elevations.
