WILL FIRE PAY YOU A 

 VISIT IN MARCH? 



0The ttiost frequent answer to the question, 



"What caused the fire?" is ''Cause Unknown." The 

 next most frequent answer is "Defective chimney 

 (or flue)." 



Whether or not fire pays you a visit in March 

 is largely up to you. For most farm fires, statistics 

 show, are preventable. 



EVERY MONTH IN THE YEAR 



Every month in the year should be fire pre- 

 vention month AND IS on farms where there is a 

 proper regard for the destructive effect of uncon- 

 trolled fire on valuable farm property. Inspection of 

 flues and chimneys, cleaning up inflammable papers 

 and wastes, fireproofing walls,' roofs, and partitions 

 that are exposed to sparks, or unusual heat, adhering 

 absolutely to the "no smoking" rule about barns and 

 other out-buildings — all these fire prevention meas- 

 lures can and should be taken NOW. March winds 

 can soon make a conflagration out of a little innocent 

 brush or weed burning fire. So don't take chances. 

 TAKE HEED!
