The United States forest service warns that burning farm woodlands rarely improves pasture. Fires destroy years of leaf litter, expose soil, increase runoff, and weaken tree vitality. Seedlings up to one inch die, large trees may burn, and bark wounds invite disease. Mrs J Haviland Torrey, visiting Popham Beach, was a Rath visitor Saturday.
