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

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.
