where grain fields extend to the
buildings. With wheat acreage
allotments many can make this
small seeding of grass on divert
ed acres without losing much in
grain production. Farm wind
breaks and small irrigated areas
close to the farmstead have also
been a great help in providing
some kind of stop-gap in case
of fires.
We have also noticed around
some of our farms the close
grouping of farm buildings.
While many of the farm build
ings are old and have been plan
ned by some one else other tfian
the present occupant many times
a rearrangement can be made
that would prevent the rapid
spread of fire from one building
to another, taking the entire
farmstead in case of a fire. Many
times there are buildings that
have served their purpose and
are no longer used. These build
ings might be removed entirely
as a fire hazard. Other smaller
buildings might be removed to
another location thereby provid
ing a stop gap between larger
buildings so that fire would not
be so apt to spread.
There are also cases of lumber
and oil barrels are piled between
two buildings acting as a natur
al fire carrier. We have noted
many grease barrels accumulat
ing around shops and other
buildings that might be removed.
Many times these barrels and
drums come in handy on the
farm, perhaps they could be stor
ed In a canyon or waste area on
the farm in case they are needed
for use throughout the year.
Lumber and other materials
might bo stored in areas away
from the buildings unless it Is to
be used at once. Some of the bar
rels that have accumulated ar
ound buildings might be filled
with water as a fire protection
rather than to be setting there
empty. One of these barrels
might be used for sand with a
broken handled shovel that is no
longer for dally use kept near. A
shovel of sand In a grease fire
in the shop might make the dif
ference between a serious fire
and one quickly extinguished.
When new farm buildings are
put up some planning might be
done in the location of the build
ing to prevent a chain of fire
from one building to the next.
One of the rules of thumb In the
Great Plains area where prairie
fires in early days were frequent
and costly was an interval of at
least a hundred feet between
buildings. Many times, several
hundred feet were left, however
we will say that many of the
buildings wore inconveniently lo
cated to get to at chore times,
especially In a blizzard or other
bad weather. Corrugated metal
and other fire resistant materials
are of course cutting down on
fire dangers today.
We have gone to some length
in discussing farm fire protec
tion. We do not want to criticize
anyone nor appear that we are
preaching to anyone In particular.
However, the number of farm
fires during the last three weeks
seems to us that something must
be done. They have not only
caused heavy financial loss and
damage but at the time this col
umn is being written there are
two persons in the hospital in
Heppner as a result of these fires.
So in closing we would like to
suggest that everyone take a look
at their fire preventive measures
at their farm homes and in the
harvest field. Be prepared In case
that your farm is the next one to
have one of these fires. If you
are luck to escape them it
might be your neighbor. When
you go to your neighbor's fire,

"go prepared". Take along a shov
el, a wet sack, a back pump
sprayer, your pressure weed or
livestock sprayer or a tank of
water. Go prepared to 'help put
the fire out. There are too many
that just go to look and get in
the way.
