SO Farm Fire Losses
Was $145, 900, 1000

Fire cost the nations farmers
about s145 100000 last year-some-
what under the all-time high of
1855.
According to the U. S. Depart
ment OF Agriculture, the 1856 loss
was equaled by only two other
years. Last years fire toll on farms
was the same as for 1851 and 1852,
making it a three-way tie for the
second highest loss year on record.
Almost a billion-and-a-half dol
lars worth of farm property has
gone up in flames the past 10 years,
department economists said. Farm
fire loss during the past decade
reached it's peak in 1855, when it
rose to $148, 100000. The lowest loss
figure during the period was $685.
100000 in 1947. AS late as 1910,
annual farm fire loss was as low as
$64,OOO,OO0.
The figures represent fire and
lightning losses on buildings, i'm
plements and machinery, live
stock, crops, and household goods.
Fires on farms are due to seven
principle causes. These are faulty
fiues and heaters, combustible
roofs, spontaneous combustion,
matches and smoking, defective
electrical wiring, gasoline and
kerosene, and lightning.
Farm fires each year take the
lives of some $500 rural residents
and injure another 100000.
