Faulty Construction Is Main Cause Farm Fires Cause IMge Loss Each JFear AP Newsfeatures NEW YORK Fires on farms in the, united States are killing an average of 3,500 persons every year, Injuring thousands of others, and destroying $90,000,000 worth bf farm property, according to the National Board of Fire Underwrit ers. , "Thousands of tons of foodstuffs, worth tens of millions of dollars, are, lost in fires which level barns, granaries, miUs, elevators and warehouses," tlie underwriters re port. Attributing nearly all farm fires to faulty building construction and lack of knowledge, the board's technicians have prepared a book let on fire hazards in rural areas to promote fire prevention on the farms. "Unlike nrban areas where fire protection and water sup plies are adequate, farms often face, total destruction when fire strikes." the. engineers point out. "When fire destroys a farm, the loss of farm equipment, live stock 'and personal property oft en throws such an economic bur den upon a family that they can not regain their financial inde pendence," Although fire Insurance may cov er the dollar value of physical losses the underwriters emphasize the cost of time" and labor to- re build, which they find "is usually far in excess of the value destroyed." One out of every four fires on farms is classified as originating from 'an , "unknown" cause. En gineers are convinced, however, that a large percentage of such "mystery" fires, which destroy the evidence of their origin, can be attributed to sponstaneous ignition. Among all farm fires of the last four years In which approximate causes could be determined, light ning led the field. Principal causes of rural fires were found to rank as follows: Lightning . . 37 r s FLAME-CONStJMEtJv A. typical farm fire.

Four basic rules for action are suggested: 1. Remove all persons from the building. Don't try to save valu ables or pets. If you're trapped on upper floors close the door of the room first, then make a rope from sheets or blankets, tie one end se curely and slide to safety.

Use stairways only atter taking great precautions. If tire door of the room is too hot to touch do not open it because superheated toxic gases may asphyxiate you. When venturing into hallways, cover face with wet cloth and crawl along the floor. 2. Telephone the alarm or send someone to summon aid. Fire de partment numbers should be menir orized by each member of the famr ily and also posted near the teler phone. 3. After learning the location and extent of the fire, begin fight ing it with any available equip ment. 4. Protect other buildings and remove livestock from barns. "In recent years," the underwrit ers observe, "the majority of states have authorized firefUjhUnfi serv ices in rural areas." However, they emphasize: "Fire prevention is also an indi vidual responsibility." LONG TIME IN COLLEGE .
