London, Jan. 1.-THE winter storms

Because Of the great number Of
stationary threshers destroyed by fire
last season, particularly around spo-
kane. nearly all Of the insurance COM
panies have tabooed this character Of
risks. This is the information given
out by local representatives Of the in.
surance companies
The new policy will not materially
affect local farmers lnasmuch as there
are few stationary threshers in the
county. the great majority using the
combined harvester which is not in
cluded in the ban Several companies
will still accept these risks and will be
able to insure all Of the stationaries in
this section.
This policy is not a new one, rather
an extension Of an old one, for many.
companies have refused for years to
take these risks. 1t is pointed out
that there is much greater danger of
fire from smut explosion on a sta
tionary than on a combine because the
moving Of the latter prevents it from
accumulating. Then too most Of the
statlonaries are operated by steam en-
gines which present further menace by
fire One local firm two years ago
wrote insurance upon seven station
aries and six of these were burned
during the season. Another local
agent insured one thresher last year
and was instructed by his company to
cancel the policy. Before he could
do so, the machine was totally destroy
ed by fire.
Heretofore, the local insurance men
state, most of the companies handling
the business charged a premium of
$3.50 on each 500 insurance on
threshing machines. while they were
not in use. and increased the premi-
um $3.50 more per 800 when they
were operated. Most of the rigs we're
insured for about $1,000, making the
premium average about $50 a year.
1t is declared that the writing of
threshing machine insurance even at
this high premium has never proved
profitable, that on the contrary it has
been a losing proposition for the in
surance concerns for years, as in
most cases where fires have started
the machines have been a total loss.
Further announcement is made
that threshing machines upon which
insurance is written this season prob
ably will have to be fitted with sprink-
Ter systems, devised to flood the ma
chine and stop fires before any large
amount of damage can be done. One
Of these newly-invented systems has
been under demonstration at Cheney
during the last few days.
