Two More Young Farmers HAVE BROUGHT HONOR To Morrow County With Their Conservation Practices f . - , ': y ! rv'H -j fir w srT- L i A - J BOB PETERSON (LEFT) and HERB PETERSON (RIGHT) ARE STATE CONSERVATION MEN OF THE YEAR as CHOSEN By The Oregon Wheat League In December 1 Protect fields of grain or oth er crops that can burn before harvesting by a fire break com pletely around the field. Divide large fields. Place hay stacks as far apart as possible and protect with fire bieaks. Stack hay away from buld-ings. By all means carry a back pump, or a water can with sacks, on the combine. The State Fire Marshal urges this simple precaution as of first importance. Keep water barrels and sacks ready around other operations, and around the barn. A plow or disk in the field is worth two dozen in the shed for controlling a harvest fire. Pull one into the field along with the combine. Upturned exhausts have been widely adopted to prevent gas oline and diesel engines from starting harvest fires. Spark ar restors and shelds are safety factors if dust and chaff are prevented from accumulating on them. Keep engines free of dust and oil accumulation; screen radiat ors. Have farm equipment ready to meet a grass fire. The back pump is very effective, and is generally obtainable at hard ware stores. A spray rig will put out more fire with less water than any other fire fighting equipment. Keep equipment full or water and ready to move. Shovels and heavy hoes have their place, too. Tell your neighbors what you are doing to be prepared, and that you stand ready to help them. Have neighborhood ar rangements for emegencies. Know how to report fires. or green boughs. Swipe Into the fire to prevent scattering sparks. Loose dirt Is effective when fan ned Into the fire edge with a shovel. Water under force Is ef fective. Back pack pumps, tank trucks, or power sprayers can be used. 4. If grain or grass fires have n start, plows or disks pulled by tractors should be used to make a trail ahead of the fire which can be used to directly stop the fire or as a line from which to base a backfire. Plows have some advantages. Disk plows are good but require more patrolling since the trash is not completely covered. a. uacKtiring snouia De aone only as a last resort and then by an experienced man under the direction of the man in charge of the fire. 6. Sparks from the main fire often start other fires. Look for these spot fires and put them out immediately. 7. As soon as the spread of the fire has been stopped, go over the burned area and put out all fire. This will prevent the fire from doing further dam age or getting a new start.
