Wood burners are urged to be careful
NEWARK, Del. - Energy
conscious, economy-minded
Americans have revitalized
an old industry long con
sidered past history in the
U.S.
Smce the Arab oil em
bargo five years ago, the use
of wood as an alternate
heating fuel has created a
growing demand for
woodburning heaters,
stoves, and furnaces, as well
as wood splitters, chain
saws, stack heat ex
changers, and other
auxiliary products.
The growth of the industry
has been so phenomenal
that building inspectors and
insurance companies are
having trouble keeping pace.
In addition, consumers are
buying and installing
systems they know little or
nothing about, sometimes
with disastrous con
sequences.

Extension safety specialist,
says the overall problem has
been compounded by
manufacturers, distributors
and dealers who may not
fully understand the prin
ciples of woodbummg. They
may offer insufficient or
unproper instructions to
consumers regarding the
installation and operation of
these systems, and may
even go against recom
mended safety procedures
and codes.
In their eagerness to jump
on the wood-bummg band
wagon, consumers often buy
inadequate units, then install
or operate them incorrectly.
Fire safety experts believe
this fact is related to the
growing number oi home
fires.
Because property damage
losses have increased $46
million m the past three
years, some insurance
companies have begun to lift
coverage for homeowners
who heat with wood, or
penalize them through
higher rates.
Building inspectors and
fire safety officials are also
becoming more cautious
about codes and regulations
regarding wood-burning
systems in their com
munities.
Jester points out that
heating with wood can be
satisfactory and economical
if the homeowner selects the
right unit, installs and
maintains it correctly, and
operates it in accordance
with recommended safety
practices. Otherwise human
hves and property are in
jeopardy.
Buy from a reliable
dealer, advises Jester, one
who knows wood-burning
systems and how to make
them work efficiently and
safely. Select the unit ac-

Order 4 milkpoolingrule
is temporarily suspended
ALEXANDRIA, Va. - Two
milk pooling requirements
under the Middle Atlantic
federal milk marketing
order will be suspended
through February, 1979, a
U.S. Department of
Agriculture official said
recently.
Herbert L. Forest, dairy
official with USDA’s
Agricultural Marketing
Service, said one action,
effective Nov. 1, suspends
the requirement that a
distributing plant sell at
least 50 per cent of its milk
for fluid use before it is
eligible to have all its milk
pooled and priced under the
Order. This will continue an
earlier suspension of this
requirement that has been in
effect since April.
The second action, which
would apply to milk
deliveries in Oct., suspends
the limits on the amount of
milk a cooperative or
proprietary handler may
move directly from farms to
nonpool manufacturing
plants and still have pooled
and priced under the Order.
The suspension is based on
testimony given at a public
hearing on Oct. 3-4 in
Philadelphia. 'The suspen
sion was requested by Inter-
State Milk Producers’
Cooperaive, the largest
cooperative m the market,
and Michaels Dairies, Inc., a
handler that operates a
bottling plant pooled under
the Order.
Evidence gathered at the
State
manufacturer’s and dealer’s
instructions against these
standards. If they don’t
agree, take your business
elsewhere, advises Jester.
Once installed, operate
your system properly and
keep it in top running order.
Take time to learn its
idiosyncrasies before you
trust it. Burn only well
seasoned dry wood, without
over-or under-firing. Inspect
chimneys and stovepipes at
least twice monthly, and
clean them promptly when
necessary.
hearing showed that a
continuing downward trend
in Class I - or fluid-use -
milk sales means that some
plants are not able to meet
the order’s pooling
requirements. As a result,
Forest said, some dairy
farmers’ milk might not be
priced and pooled under the
order.
