Need For Lightning Protection

NSCO TUE AlkuCUAKlk IIOtcStAOAs
The amount of money invest
ed in farm buildings today makes
it imperative that the farmer
should take every precaution to
safeguard his homestead against
lightning. Insurance will par
TALLY cover the loss but will not
prevent it. For some years sta
tistics have been gathered or
this subject by insurance COM
panies and departments of agri-
culture in different countries and
all are agreed that lightning rods
properly Installed are almost alb
solute protection.
In December 1915 the United
States Government through the
Department of Agriculture is
sued special Farmers Bulletin
No. 842 entitled Protection of
Life and Property Against Light
ming.
In the year 1917 the Fire Mar
shal's Department of Ontario set
itself the task of once and for all
determining the efficiency of
properly installed lightning rods.
The net results obtained was al
most incredible as it showed that
out of a total of over 900 LIGHT
ming fires, entaling loss of $500
164.OO, in no case was the build
ing which was struck properly
equipped with lightning rods.
The Farmers Mutual Lightn-
ing Protected Insurance Com
pany of Michigan, as it's name
implies nsures only properly
rodded buildings. During four
years, in a business which totall-
ed $50, 172,075.0O risk this COM
pany paid only $4,000 for dam
age to buildings by lightning, in
three small claims all tracable to
defects in rodding which were
overlooked by the Company's in
spector.
In Iowa there is also a Protec-
ted Company insuring only rod
ded buildings. In six years this
Iowa Protected Mutual has not
had a claim due to lightning dam
age to a rodded building or stock
in building, while other compan-
les in Iowa have paid lightning
claims amounting to the large
sum of $341, O65.32. 1t is possible
that some of this was paid on im-
properly rodded buildings.
1t appears from statistics that
no less than 81 per cent or more
than half of the total loss to
farmers through fires are caus-
ed by lightning.
w. U. Day B. A. Professor Of
Physics who has made a long and
careful study of Lightning Pro-
lection says that after thirteen
years of investigation we know
from experience that lightning
rods properly installed will save
$4,000 out of every 100000
worth of damage done to unrod-
ded buildings.
We cannot estimate the value
of human life in dollars and cents
and with the above facts before
us why should we hesitate to
protect our loved ones and our
property from Lightning.
