The Insurance Commissioner Cautions Farmers About Storing Hay Not Fully Cured. Spontaneous combustion in hay is causing a number of fires throughout the State, according to Insurance Commissioner McMaster. He gives the following instances: A small store was recently burned in Columbia, and it has been satisfactorily established that it was due to spontaneous combustion in several bales of hay which the store keeper ! had purchased the day before. The store keeper on a Saturday morning hac} purchased from a country wagon several bales of bay which had been recently gathered. It was piled in the back part of the store and the | evening sun beating on the rear end I of the store caused that part "<rf the ? ? store to be considerably heatd. This j Beems to have set the hay on Are, and about 4 o'clock next morn'ng the | flames were discovered in that end of the store. The building was con* sumed. Mr. Boozer, w b< .lives near Oro'is Hill, hauled in several loads of uncured hay into his bam. A hand 1 who went to feed the stock found that the hay wa heated, but paid no attention to it At mid-day, when no one was about the barn, which waa ! In a field, the hay burst into flames and the barn was consumed. ? Mr. Lewis Cook, who lives near Bishopville, on the day before his Are, . bad hauled into his barn some un| cured oats in bundles. The next morning, at feed time, the oats were found to be puite heated, but no atten tion was paid to it, and before 12 o'clock in the day, flames had started in the oats and the barn was consumed.
