This treacherous character tallies up a yearly 

 "take" of millions of dollars from OUR farms. 



Food is needed as never before. There is a 

 dearth of farm help and equipment. Your farm 

 is a factory — a war plant of the first importance. 

 Protea it and its priceless produas. 



The annual Clean-up Campaign is now being 

 supported throughout the nation. It's an essential 

 part of the Victory Program. Take a few precious 

 hours to clean up your premises. Few fire preven- 

 tion measures are more effective. Clear out waste 



accumulations. Make repairs as the need is dis- 

 covered. Test and recharge fire extinguishers if 

 necessary. i . 



Check on your gas and oil storage places. Are 

 they safe.' How about your brooder stoves.' Are 

 the attic, basement, and closets ready for inspec- 

 tion? Has that leak in the barn roof been re- 

 paired.' How about the lightning rods; are they 

 broken or rusted off at the ground.' 



Remember it's the little things which start big 

 fires.
