CLEAN FARM HOMES
SELDOM DESTROYED
"Crivc your farm a Rood Spring
clcnnin??!*" is the advice of D. H.
Perkins. Yadkin County Farm
agent for the State C.>llc.*gp Exten
sion Scrvice, who this week re
mi r.ded 'f\.r Hoel farmers that a
clean farin i? the safest and most
profitable farm.
Recommending several Avrys in
which farmers could participate
in a campaign*for cleaner, safer,
and more attractive farms, Perk
ins suggested that attics, base
ments, barns and other buildings
be thoroughly checked for old rags,
boxes, paper, and furniture that
may present fire hazards.
/Chimneys and flues might be in
spected, too, Pefrkins said, for ef
ficient operation next winter. Dead
vines, brush, and weeds along
fence rows and near farm build
ings are also on his list of things
to do. now that Spring is here.
Bpjldings not already protected
with fire extinguishers might be
supplied with them, he said, point
ing out that Spring is a good time
to check extinguishers that are a
part of the afrm's fire fighting
apparatus.
"Clean farms seldom burn," the
agent siiid. "A clean farm is also
generally free from disease, is
safer, has a healthier atmosphere,
and is a nicer place to live."
