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. 4154.5trOtta type, Don't drive loads of sheaves near the exlienet. 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, FALL FAIRS Blyth Sept, 9-10 Durham Sept, 10-11 Elmira VW Sept, 4 - 7 Fergus Sept. 11-12 Georgetown „ Sept. 11-12 Lion's Head Sept. 9-10 Milveeton Sept. 10-11 Neustadt Sept. 4 -5 Tavistock Sept. 11-12 Wiartore Sept.' 10-11 Acton ,, Sept. 15-16 Clifford Sept, 18-19 Exeter Sept. 16-17 Hanover Sept. 17-18 Kincardine Sept, 17-18 /vlarkdale Sept. 16-17 Mildmay ....... ..........

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.

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. Culross Mutual Fire Insurance Co., Teeswater, Ont.
