ThTesher Fires
Government Recommends Grounding
Of Machines az Precaution
Against Shutting Elk.
ploslons

The many explosions and fires in
threshing machines in the Northwest
last summer have led the United
States Department OF Agriculture to
take up this question in connection
with its investigation Of graindust
explosions in cereal mills, elevators,
and similar places. Nearly 800 thresh
ing mach mes were destroyed last year
in eastern Washington, eastern Ore
gon and northern Idaho. The total
loss was estimated at 100000. In
surance companies refused to insure
the machines arousing acute alarm
throughout the wheat growing indus
try Of that settion. In some quarters
there was a dispos't ton to attribute
these occurrences to disgruntled farm
hands or tramps, but specialists in the
Department now believe that they
were accidental explosions and that
under certain conditions such explo-
sions are liable to occur wherever
quantities OF dust from grain or straw
accumulate. Since II Is probable,
therefore, that there will be addition
al accidents of the same character
this season, the department has as
signed investigators to the territory
in question and earnestly requests
that full reports OF all explosions be

In connection with the study Of ex-
plosions in grain mills and elevators
il has been definitely established that
when the air is filed with fine parti-
cles of vegetable dust, this dust can
be ignited and an explosion follow,
much as mixture Of gasoline and
air is exploded in the cylinder OF an
automobile. II is also known that
last year there was high percentage
OF smut dust in the wheat crop In
the Pacific Northwest and preliminary
experiments have also indicated that
this dust is both highly infammable
and has great explosive force.
From the accounts of explosions al
ready received, II appears that the
occurrence originated at or near the
cylinder of the threshing machine,
where the dust was the thickest, and
flashed through the entire machine in
stantly. In some instances the fire
spread to grain stacked near by. In
grain mills where similar explosions
have occurred two reports have COM
monty been heard. The first Is n
sharp quick sound, followed by re-
port OF a rumbllng nature which lasts
a longer time. The second report is
usually followed by fire.. 1t is suppos-
ed that the first report is due to
small quantity Of very fine dust sps-
pended in air, having been lgnited by
some source Of heat and thus explod.

by the heat of the first explosion.

by the heat Of the first explosion.
There are number of ways In
which dust may be ignited, but In the
case of threshing machines 1t ap'
pears probable that state electricity
generated by the operation Of the
machine. is chiefly responsible. The
generation OF sufficient SUNNY ~
static would result in the discharge
of a spark which, under the proper
cond !tions, would serve to ignite the
explosive mixture of dust and air
In this connection It has been observ-
ed that belts slipping on pulleys Will
generate considerable quantities OF
static electricity.
In view Of those facts the depart
ment recommends the grounding OF
all cylinder shafts on threshing ma
chimes. This can be done by dry
brush contact with the cylinder and
wires run to an iron rod driven into
damp ground. The grounding OF
grinding machines in mills has prov
ed effective in prevent 'ng these dust
explosions and a similar precaution
can be adopted advantageously With
threshers.
