Morrow County Extension Agent
At a meeting last week rep
resentatives from the City Fire
Department and the U. S. Forest
Service met with the Morrow
county ranchers who have coun
ty equipment on their places to
discuss the serious fire situation.
They all agreed that coopera
Hon between the various agen
cies and individual ranchers is
the key to a successful fire pre
vention season.
Everyone working together as
in the past should be a big step
toward controlling any possible
fires this season.
GRASS. WEEDS HEAVY
Grass and weed growth is un
usually heavy this summer.
Across the entire county there
is growing concern about it. The
late, wet sprine set the stage
for grass, weed and grain fires
that may strike disaster if they
are caught unprepared.
SUGGESTIONS LISTED
It is suggested that each
farmer and rural dweller care
fully consider these precautions:
Remove dead grass and weeds
from a strip at least 10' wide

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.

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.

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

TIPS ON HOW TO FIGHT
I A GRASS OR GRAIN FIRE
1. Size up the fire, determine
where fire is spreading fastest,
where it is most likely to get
into grain or other valuable
crops, or where it might ignite
buildings, fences, or other val
uable property.
2. Attack fastest spreading
points, but if these are too hot to
work on, pinch off the fire bv
working on the flanks.
3. Beating is best method of
I attack. Use wet sacks, swatters,
