FIRE. PROTECTION FOR
FARMERS
Farm homes should bh provided
with fire protection, in the form of
extinguishers ur water pails. When
a fire breaks out the farmer cannot
call in the services of an organized
fire department, and the water supply
is usually scanty; neighborly assist-
ance can, therefore, only be concen-
trated on endeavoring to save the

"In view of the fact that several

tised as suitable for use for fire ex-

has to report that in its opinion all
forms of dry powder fire extinguishers
are inferior for general use, that
