be able to raise the one-half Of one
per cent limit established BY the
Volstead act.

Good Record FOR the Lightning

Lightning has long been suspect.
ed II beinc the chicf cause of fires
upon the farm. and an analysis II

the suspicion 20 be we'll founded
This is the first time that such an
extensive investigation Of rural fires
has ever been undertaken and its
conclusions are proportionateIy yalu-
able
Among these conclusions stand
out two facts FIRST, that 1890
fires, OF 81 per cent Of all those
covered by the investigation were
due TO lightning To many People,
this would seem 10 bc evidence tha,
smaller proportion Of farm fires
are preventable that is true in other

the second fact cited makes an
interesting commentary OF these

farmers who had iaken the pre-.
caution of installing proper lightning
rod protection so far as the figures
show. suffered LOSSES from this
greatest OF all causes of farm fires

After lightning came defective
chimneys and flues. sparks on roofs
and then matches and smoking as
the leading causes OF fire Under
the National Boards classification
OF strictly preventable" causes. the
total for the 1918 farm fires is found
to have reached 1886. .460 or 33
per cent OF the average OF SIS, 1856 70l
