All it takes is a tiny spark on a dry, combustible roof and 

 March winds will do the rest. And once iire starts, iarm build- 

 ings usually bum to the ground. So, beware of March. Take 

 care that disaster and possibly tragedy don't visit your family 

 because March winds have fanned a tiny spark into a roaring 

 blaze. March is the month of sudden fires. Dirty chimneys, 

 stuffed with the soot of winter, spit flaming chimks of concen- 

 trated destruction when trash is burned in a furnace or stove — 

 "just to get the chill off the room." It's good sense to inspect 



chimneys and flues often to see that winter firing hasn't loos- 

 ened bricks, clogged openings and generally set up a fine field 

 for fires. Above all, insure adequately, with Farmers Mutual at 

 savings up to 30 per cent. Then, if fire does start, Far.rers } 

 Mutual will help you rebuild. The agent at your County Farm 

 Bureau office will give you rates for your property.
