EVERY SACK OF WHEAT is
SOLDIER OF DEFENSE"


Don't let those soldiers be burned
or destroyed before they reach the
hungry mouths that America must
feed.
These are the battle cries sent out
by the State Council of Defense, in
Olympia, which is launching a great
campaign to protect the grain of
eastern Washington.
The Council, which is headed by
DR.. Henry Suzzallo, president of the
University of Washington, feels that
if the growers Of grain themselves
are not sufficiently aroused to the
seriousness of the situation, fires
may grow so numerous and so de-
structive that the insurance compan-
les will be forced to cancel all grain
insurance.
This would mean not only the loss
of the grain, which in itself is the
most serious feature of all in the
present national crisis, but would
mean total losses to the farmers
whose grain might be either burned
or destroyed by persons of evil in
tent
Unusual conditions confront us;
unusual measures must be taken and
taken promptly, to combat the men
ace, such is the statement from O.
lympia.
Organization is necessary among
the farmers to meet the common
danger This organization must be
directed against all who would will
fully and criminally start fires; next,
it must prepare for the quick eX-
tinguishing of the fire after it starts.
preparation to combat fires nee
essitates the cutting of hay strips
along roads and around farms and
a fire-fighting equipment that can be
brought instantly into action. The
best method is to provide an auto
trailer equipped with wet sacks,
plow for quickly running burrows,
and other fire eXtinguiShing equip
ment. This trailer can be speedily
hooked to an automobile and rushed
to the scene of the fire, manned by
an effective fighting force.
ono threshing machine should be
allowed to operate without accomp
anying equipment of at least two
21a-gallon fire eXtinguiShers, and al
so every setting for the thresher
should be protected by half dozen
plowed burrows. Threshers cause al
most 40 per cent of the grain fires.
Therefore they should be watched
with the greatest cue. Every lioe
II achine is NOV I'll its trail should
be followed in search of incipient
fires, and guard should remain
watching a setting for some little
time after the machine leaves, to see
that no fires are smouldering.
There should be pillow with ev-
cry machine to run new burrows
whenever danger threatens. Many
grain field has been saved from
destruction by the quick starting of
backfires from a row of burrows.
ut is hoped soon to have every
county organized with deputy sher-
ifs that man who starts fire de-
liberately will have small chance of
escaping the punishment that is his
due.
"Now is the time for the grain
growers to show their patriotism in
a great cause. Insurance, while it
partly compensates the individual,
does not bring back the lost wheat,
nor feed the mouths that hunger for
the bread that wheat would have
made.

at Olympia. Help us to win this
fight without the loss of a single
bushel of wheat. Help the state OF
Washington do its share in winning
