We Have It, WIM Get It, Or It Is Not Made. liam & Bisb ee Explosions and fires In threshing nachines, due to grain dust have been ccuring in considerable numbers dur ing the present threshing season in New York, according to reports re ceived' by the Bureau of Chemistry of the department. Such fires have been particularly destructive owing to the custom In the East of thresh ing in barns. Up to this season reports have in dicated that thresher explosions were confined largely to parts of Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. Because of the occurrence now of the explo sions and fires in considerable num bers In a widely separated part of the country and reports in the past which have shown scattering explosions in still other sections, officials of the de partment feel that owners and opera tors of threshing machines In all parts of the country should have their attention called to the danger which may threaten their property and to the steps which have been tak- itection possible. As a result of investigations of the explosions In threshing machines con ducted by the Bureau of Chemistry and the office of Public Roads and Rural Engineering, a fire extinguish r has been developed for installation on the machines. This advice oper tes automatically when explosions or fires occur, spraying the interior of the machine with liquid. Tests at Arlington,. Va. showed the device to 'operate satisfactorily in every case, and recent field tests with smutty grain In eastern Weshington and northern Idaho, carried out by specia lists of the Offlceof Public Roads and Rural Engineering, have been equally successful. In these field tests with threshing machines explosions or fires occurred In the course of threshing operations and In every case were promptly extinguished by the auto matic device before any damage was done to the machines. Even frayed sacking in the interior of one of the machines was not scorched. I The automatic fire extinguisher designed by the department will be pt&lcnicu lur 1113 UCllGUt VI HHJ ffuwi.u. Working drawings from which the device may be built have been prepar ed and may be obtained by interested grain growers, thresher, owners and operators, on application to "the Ofl- fic of Public Roads and Rural En gineering of the department.
