The Tin in Ois Agricultural Association department of safety urges farm families to adopt three rules to cut rural fires by half before 1939. Do not use kerosene to start fires, keep inflammable materials away from heat, and keep chimneys clean and in repair. Farm fires killed 3,500 and caused over $90 million in losses nationwide last year, largely preventable with ordinary precautions.
