THRESHING FIRES
ARE PREVENTABLE
Every year in Ontario $100,000, is
destroyed during the threshing season
by fires—fires which in normal times
are a major disaster for the farmer
involved, but which in wartime become
a calamity felt by the nation. A farm
fire today destroys precious food vital
to our armies and our allies. Second-
ly, the replacement of the buildings
and machinery call for materials and
manhotirs of which we have all too
few to produce the sinews of war,
Thirdly, and this affects the victim
directly, he may be unable to rebuild
until after the war, because of the
scarcity of the wherewithal.
The cold feet of the matter is,
however, that threshing fires could be
practically eliminated by =Owing
three simple precautionary measures,
These are based on the principle of
removing, as far as possible, both the
direct causes and the contributing
causes of such fires,
The first and perhaps the most im-
pertant preventive is the use of a water
spray atethe base of the blower evhich
will apply 20 to 40 gallons of water
per hour according to the dryness of
the straw, This will 'alleviate dust
conditions which would rapidly prop-
agate fire once it started.
The second yet no less important
precaution is the prevention of loose
matches or boxes of matches (the
boxes more deadly than the loose)
from passing through the machine.
The one in charge of the job should
insist on the stria 'observance of the
Ontario Fire Marshall's order posted
on. every licensed threshing machine.
This not only forbids smoking, but
prohibits carrying matches on the
premises during threshing operations.
Let the workers deposit their matches
in a safe place away from the scene.
Last but not least, have the engine
or 'tractor located ' away from any
straw or other readily combustible
material. Straw or sheaves in this
danger zone invite fires of the most.

Especially in wartime it is the ditty.
of everyone of us to. prevent fires by
keeping them from, starting. But if
they do stert, be ready. A barrel of
water, not only close by the engine,
but another up on the separator near.
the blower, are simple common sense
precautions, OP-to-date thresbermen .
equip their outfits with five gallon'
extinguishers, which, like the water
spray, is money most wisely spent.
A flame proof blanket is en excellent
thing to smother a fire the minute it
begins—but a smock or coat will do
a job if the blanket is 'lacking,

DENSITY OF SYRUP
IN CANNED FRUITS
With regard to the density of syrup
used in commercially canned goods, an
amendment has been made in the reg-
ulations under the Meat and Canned
Foods Act by the substitution of a
sub-clause (Canada Gaazette, July 11,
1942) which gives the percentage of
sugar to be used in the syrup, which
itself must consist of sugar and water
only. All food products packed in
syrup must be labelled to show the
density of syrup (so much per cent
sugar syrup), the percentage of sugar
in the syrup for loganberries and apri-
cots to be 60; for sour cherries,
peaches, strawberries, blackberries and
currants, 45 per cent; for gooseberries,
lawtonberries, raspberries and thimb-
leberries, 40 per cent; for pears, Bart-
lett, and similar, and blueberries, 35
per cent; for sweet cherries and
plums, 30 per • cent; and for pears,
Keiffer, clamp, and similar, 25 per
cent.

Practice These
3 Simple Safety Measures:
Threshing fires will be practically eliminated if these three
simple precautions are taken:
D Use a water sprayer at the base of the blower—supplying
20 to 40 gallons of water per hour according to the dryness
of the straw, This will keep down dust which increases
fire the moment it starts.
Prevent notches, either loose or in boxes, from passing
through the machine. Boxes of matches have proved more
dangerous than loose matches. Insist that norm be carried
by anyone engaged. Obey the Fire Marshal's order posted
on the machine,
D Set the engine or tractor well away from straw or any
other readily combustible material. Prevent loads of
sheaves from standing or passing near to the engine's
exhaust. i ,
Especially in wartime it is every farmer's duty to prevent
threshing fires from starting. But if they do start, be ready
for them. Keep a barrel of water near the blower—and
another near the engine. A flame-proof blanket is an excel-
lent thing to smother a fire the moment it begins; but a coat
or a smock will do, Fight by preventing fires.
