The annual spring clean up campaign is being observed this month. In addition to having things looking neat and nice around the farm and home, one of the big advantages of a spring-clean-up campaign is a chance to start a practical year around fire safety program on the farm. In getting ready for spring and sum mer operations, farmers will find that they can at the same time correct many of the worst lire hazards around the farm and without too much extra effort. There are five major clean-up recommendations that are impor tant: 1. Remove all old maga zines, newspapers, clothing, rags, mattresses, and broken and dis carded furniture from attics, clos ets, basements, and the barn and outbuildings. 2. Cleaning up of rubbish in the farm yard and cutting down of dead vegetation around buildings, along fences, and in fields.1 3. Clean up of the machine shop and work bench including safe disposal of shavings, oily rags and old paints and oils. 4. Cleanup of all electrical equipment and power machinery and 5. Clean-up of chimney, stoves, brooders, and heaters of all typos. If any or all of these recommendations are fol lowed, your farm will be much safer from fires as well as yo-t being proud if its neatness. From Files of the Gazette Times April 10, 1921 Calvin L.
