LIGHTNING PROTECTION
FOR FARM BUILDINGS

The season for electrical
storms will soon be upon us and
with it comes the question of
proper protection against light
ming.
So much fun has been made of
the farmer and the lightning rod
agent that farmers have come to
the conclusion that lightning rods
are a fake, but this is far from
the truth.
A good lightning rod is the best
protection against damage from
lightning. 1t is a well known
fact that lightning will take the
easiest path to the ground. This
may be a high tree, a church
spire, chimney or a tele-
phone wire. 1t is reasonable to
assume if a lightning rod is a
good conductor of electricity and
makes a good contact With the
ground, that it will protect prop
erty.
A good lightning rod should be
made of copper or iron, of ample
cross-section, with a point pro-
lection above the roof of the
building and the lower end well
grounded. A good rod for this
purpose, if Of copper, should
weigh six or eight ounces foot
if iron, it should weigh about two
The La Jara chronicle., 1911-05-19

pounds a foot. The lightning rod
should be well separated from
the uilding by porcelain or glass
insulators. To ground the rod it
should be rivited and soldered to
large copper plate three feet
by three feet, so as to make good
contact, the plate buried in char
coal in damp place.
If an old rod is already in
place, go over it carefully to
see that it is not broken, as a
broken rod is worse than none,
because lightning will start down
the rod and cave it and enter
the building where the rod is de-
fective.
Directions for Personal Safety
During Thunder Storms.
Do not stand under trees, near
wire fences, in doorways, or near
cattle, chimneys, or fire places,
and never use the telephone dur
ing electrical storms.
Lightning strike is not, as
rule, fatal. If a person is struck
by lightning, do not give up hope
but stimulate respiration and cir
culation, keep the body warm,
rub the limbs rapidly, give water,
wine, or hot coffee, and send for
a physician.

With three or four times as
much land in cultivation as at
present with no more water avail.
able, we would be literally up
against it. There is only one
way out of this contingency, that
is STORAGE RESERVOIRS.
And those fortunate or sagacious
enough to own land under these
reservoirs, will surely enjoy the
profits of a bonanza. They will
be certain of crops during dry
and droughty years. They will
have the average bumper crops,
while the less fortunate farmers
depending on rain, or the season
able SHOWS, will have to bear with
the surely recurring droughts-
the bane of all farmers depend
ing ON the caprice of nature.
1t behooves you, Mr.. Land Own
er, to provide reservoir water
for you lands. The time is not
far removed when the price of all
water will be much higher. And
reservoir water, which is avail
able every day in the year, when
ever you call for it and in such
quantities as you wish it, will be
the water which will command
the highest price. There are
none too many sites ON the west
side of the valley to supply res
ervoir water for all the land that
will require it. These sites are
of varying degrees of value and
utility, owing to relative cost of
construction and their certainty
of water supply.
Those reservoirs now con
structed and in the process of
construction, as well as most
of those whose sites have been
approved by the government and
on which work has not yet been
begun, will be able to furnish
water at about thirty 1r forty
dollars per acre foot. These
are very desirable.
First: Because they are first in
storage rights, and, like bitches,
viii be entitled to be first filled.
Second: Because they are the
choice locations, considering cost
of construction and available wa
ter to fill them.
Those to be built years hence,
when their necessity becomes i'm
rCrative, will be more expensive
in cost of construction and of
ess value owing to their junior
priorities of water.
The wise man, the wise neigh
borhood, the wise district, will
take first choice and secure those
reservoir now available, for
they never will BE- as cheap
again. The time is coming when
some land, even in the WE'LL
w Altered SAN LUIS VALLEY
will be left without available wa
ter. See that it is not yours.
