PARISH STREET SATUR-
DAY NIGHT: There used to be
an expression which I heard
used whole lots 'mongst Aine
Hagar's Chillun when l was a
boy which the old folks would
use to show their lack of re-
spect and content for the wise
aces, who was always shooting
off their mouths about things
that it was obvious anybody
that had a half-ounce of good
common sense that they didn't
no anything about what they
was talking about but all
that they was doing was just
running off at the mouth i.
the expression by which the old
folks used to describe such
meanderings was to say :.
Don't pay any attention to that
fellow He's jess talking a
lotta Who Shot John | was
thinking about some of the
many folks that we have now
amongst Aine Haggar's Chillun
settin around the barbershops,
and gitting-up in the little outta
the way churches calling them
selves speaking with great
knowledge, but who in reality
amt doing nothing but what
the old folks used to say . :.
Talking a loota Who Shot John
While Was thinking about
folks talking a lotta Who Shot
John | was invited to have an
other helping of fish and beer
by one of the wise old TYNE
Parish Streeters who muster

me think that the Brother mus

that he started to talking about
the same thing that | had been
thinking about, how Aine Hag-

four people and consumed three
haystacks.
True to form, however, the July and
August tolls in Montana ran even high
er. In July storm near MissOula
struck and destroyed farmers barn,
plus IL acres of choice forest nearby.
In August, another bolt caused $4,000
loss to farmer near Glasgow, includ-
ing the loss of his barn, 5000 bales of
hay and 80 tons of oat bundles.
Most regrettable, perhaps, is the fact
that these losses could have been
avoided. Farm insurance underwriters
recommend full lightning protection for
all structures. In many cases, the re-
sulting reduction in insurance rates is
enough to pay large part of the cost
of installation.
Preventive Measures
Based upon its analysis of last years
barn loss reports, the Lightning Protec-
Montana farmer-stockman., 1962-06-15

ton Institute offers these recommends
tions:
1. Make sure your barn-and all 9TH
er valuable buildings are protected
against the. most common cause of
rural area fires by having lightning
protection system properly installed
according to Underwriters LabOra-
tories specifications for equipment and
engineering.
g. IF the existing lightning protection
system is of any significant age, have
it checked by an expert to determine
whether or not it has been rendered
ineffective in whole or in part by de-
terioration or during building repair or
alteration
8. Bring insurance coverage up-tO-
date, covering the increased evalua-
ton of your buildings.
Prevention, not detection or contain
ment of the fire, should be the defense
against hot-bolt lightning.
Metal roofing or siding is no defense
against lightning, the institute points
out. A hot-bolt melts and punches
through typical thin metal coverings
as easily as a knife cuts butter, and
then ignites the inflammable material
underneath.
Information on lightning and what
it does is available to farmers in a
booklet entitled, lightning Facts and
Figures The booklet contains 18
pages of interesting data and helpful
information, and is offered as an educa-
tional service. In it are explained many
of the mysteries and inconsistencies of
what is natures most destructive phe-
n0menon and, as the survey shows,
barns biggest enemy. In it, too, are
detailed some of the facts about proper
protection against both hot-bolt and
cold lightning strokes.

Lightning Loss
Cost MOntanans
100000 I'm '6l

LAST YEAR, MONTANA farmers
and ranchers lost nearly 100000 to
barns that were either destroyed or
damaged by lightning.
These figures, issued by the Light
ming Protection Institute, Chicago, are
part of an extensive survey which re-
veaIed that losses due to lightning cost
the American public over $140 million
last year. Rural landowners lost over
SCI million of that amount due to light
ming strikes which destroyed 1,17S
barns, damaged 402 others, destroyed
or damaged 297 farm homes and cost
the lives of thousands of cattle. horses,
hogs, sheep and poultry.
Statistics from the study also re-
vealed that 40 per cent of all rural
fires are caused by lightning; that the
odds are nine to one that your barn
will burn to the foundation if it ever
is struck, and that less than 20 per
cent of the nations barns are fully
insured against such fearSome
possibility.
Tempting Target
Why is the farmland particularly the
barn-such a tempting target for
lightning?
l. The typical barn is tinderb0x.
The hay, straw and other inflammables
in it make it so.
2. Hot-bolt lightning, relatively low
voltage, long duration strike which oc-
ours less frequently than the ''cold"
or explosive type, usually sets large
ire or a long path of fire instantly.
By the time firemen arrive, the typical
BARN blaze is out of control and the
remaining job is to protect adjacent
Montana farmer-stockman., 1962-06-15

or nearby buildings. The dangers of
any farm fire are compounded, of
course, by the fact that fire depart
ments are few and water is scarce.
g. Lightning generally strikes tall,
isolated objects. Studies show that
5O-foot object, located in an area which
suffers an average of 40 thunderstorms
per square mile per year, will get hit
about once every four years. In rural
areas, such a landmark often is likely
to be the barn.
Chain Reaction
4. Most farms are such complex
of buildings, fences, pipes and wires
that one lightning strike is likely to
produce a chain reaction throughout
the entire network. Metal clotheslines,
guy wires and metal posts are particu-
larly inviting targets. Long metallic
objects such as door tracks and cave
troughs can pick up strong induced
charges from nearby stroke, flash
it to a grounded water pipe nearby
and set fire to any dry material that
may be laying in between.
5. While most lightning strikes are
cold bolts they'll knock off cupolas or
drain pipes, and massive one can
explode a major building), hot bolts
still are numerous Their toll on farms
would be much greater than at present
we're it not for the fact that many rural
buildings have been safeguarded with
modern lightning protection.
According to the study, July, August
md September are the worst months
or lightning loss. Over 20 per cent Of
asst years strikes were reported dur
ng those three months.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1962-06-15
Montana Cases

Still, the other months of the year
- particularly the earlier summer
months-are likely to bring disaster
from any thunderhead. In June of last
year, for example, a lightning bolt
near Jordan destroyed barn, injured

Power of one lightning stroke like this
is equal to horsepower of 1850, 900 auto
mobile engines, says Lightning Protec-
tiOn Institute. Over billion strokes
will occur i'm 1862, and the us. will
suffer $4,000 fires as part of our share
of Iightning's destructiveness.
