Lightning rods not only help to save
farm buildings and property from de-
struction, but are almost an absolutely
dependable safeguard. This is the
opinion reached by State Fire Marshal
t. M. Purtel1, who has devoted himself
to Investigating the cases of fires.
In the short time in which this de-
partment has been opel ating," says
Mr.. Purtell, 81 have been greatly IN
pressed by the large percentage of
fires, particularly country fires, caused
by lightning. During the first twenty
days in which reports were received
there were forty fires reported from
the country districts in which the total
loss was $50, 900. OF these twenty-nine
were caused by lightning with loss of
over $40, 900. This large percentage,
nearly three fourths of the total caused
by lightning, has led me to investigate
means of protection and thereby
lessening of this enormous loss. find
that the mutual fire insurance com
panies in u recent report state that
over two-thirds of all the losses by
fire to farm property was caused by
lightning. Especially in the section
where there are few lightning rods
Also at a recent meeting of the officers
or representatives of 110 of the mutual
insurance companies of Michigan it was
figured that their lightning losses dur
ing the past year were over $500, 600.
Representatives of Ill farm mutuals
in Iowa report that rs per cent of their
losses have been from lightning. In
each one hundred barns struck, rs are
set on fire and barn fired by lightning
