Danger of Farm Fires Pointed Out
Texas farmers could add up to five million dollars to annual gross income by cutting fire losses says Norris W. Parker manager of the Texas Insurance Advisory Association. He notes 1952 farm fires destroyed at least five million dollars in buildings and crops and 1953 figures may rise unless fires are reduced. National losses reached one hundred million dollars. Parker proposes three safeguards including careful construction and maintenance of farm property, simple extinguishing gear for homes and outbuildings, and organized farm community brigades with better equipment. Fire Prevention Week runs October 4 to 10 with farmers urged to review defenses.
