Farming - High-Hazard For many years farming as ranked as the third most hazardous occupation. Only mining, including quarrying and petroleum drilling, and construction have higher death rates. In general the death rate from farm accidents has followed national trends, decreasing steadily since the turn of the century. But Where the rate on farms was once below the national average, in recent years it has been higher. And the difference appears: to be increasing. In 1961, when the national rate fell to an all-time low of 50.4 deaths per -100,000 population, the farm average rose to 58.8. National Farm Safety Week, July 2127, is an opportune time, to examine the record to learn where farms fall down. National Safety Council statistics show that motor vehicle, home, and public accidents — the three largest accident categories national — hit farm residents jfcbout as hard as the rest of the country. jrV It is in work safety that farming lags behind. Work accidents are second only to motor vehicle accidents among farm residents, comprising 31 per cent of ’ the total. Other industries have developed safety procedures that have made work accidents the smallest of all four categories — accounting for 15 per cent of the nation’s accident toll. These same ,

Who's Vanishing? The American Broadcasting Company’s national network recently presented a program called “A Vanishing Breed: Portrait of a Country Editor.” During the presentation the statement was made that “There are only 2,000 country newspapers left in America. . . * ” The American Press magazine, taking exception to these 1 figures, counted the newspapers listed in the latest edition of N. W. Ayer Directory of Periodicals and reports there are . 9,319 nondaily newspapers in the 50 states. A breakdown of that list shows possibly 2,500 newspapers which might conceivably •be classified as ‘suburban’ instead of ‘country.’ “That still leaves 6,819 nbn-daily newspapers which, so far as we can determine, could fit nowhere except in the

DON FRANTZ County Agent The quarantine fo}- control 'of the cereal leaf beetle includes all of Kosciusko county. This will mean that any wheat, oats, hay or straw shipped out of the county, destined for a non-quarantine area, will have to be accompanied by a certificate showing it to be free of the insect. The main burden will be on the elevator men who will have the job of seeing to it that the treatment is done properly. ■’ There has been no publication of details of the quarantine as of the end of June but it is evident that the regulatory officials consider the threat to be a serious one. Only two actions of this kind have ever been used before, one to control com boer and the other to control Japanese beetle. The most tecent one was about 30 years ago. It looks like the elevators will have some options at least for awhile. They can install sprayers in some leg of their wheat handling system and spray with malathion. It doesn’t take much and in Michigan they have used a pint to 1,000 bushels. They can also use a fumigant in the car before the wheat is shipped. Many grain dealers do this now to control weevil and this may be a method. The other way could be to ship to a terminal within the quarantine area which will include Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana. - ' We do not know the consequences of a serious spread of this beetle. It feeds in two stages and could do a lot of damage to growing crops. It cpuld develop into a serious corn pest although it has not been so up to this time but it has never been in a com area before. So far, the regulations have been precautionary in nature but there is no doubt that actual on-the-farm control to protect crops can be worked out if it becomes necessary. Much of the current hay crops

V Industry procedures, put to work on the farm, can’ bring farm safety back into line with the National record. A farmer must be many kinds of a, * craftsman. He often is called on to be a carpenter, an electrician, a mechanic. He uses fuels, chemicals, fertilizers and many different kinds of machines. To work safely he must know and - follow the safe practices developed in many different industries. In most industries, employees’ mistakes are noticed and corrected immediately. But much of farm work is done away from direct observation and supervision. Too often, an unsafe act, unseen and unrecognized, becomes a habit instead of being corrected promptly. These bad habits must be discovered and replaced with proper methods. \ ✓ National Farm Safety is not a week in Which to be ’ more careful, then to be forgotten until next year. Instead it is a time to examine work habits to compare methods with those proved effective ■ in other industries, and to seek out better and safer ways to do 'the job. Accident prevention is a year-round job. An official “week” is simply a reminder that emphasizes the importance of that job. / Every week should be Farm Safety /W.eek.

‘country newspaper’ category.” Also a majority of the 1,200 dailies published in towns of under 25,000 population would fit into the same classification. The American Press observes that “Perhaps the TV boys were miffed because, as they reported, Landon Wills of Calhoun, Kentucky, who was picked as their example of ‘the vanishing breed,” doesn’t believe in television and doesn’t even have a TV set.” The capable and effective newspapermen who run this nation’s country press are not vanishing. And since our freedom depends on a concerned and well informed citizenry, we can thank our,stars that they are not. They provide written records and world events which remain for consideration and are not gone in the wink of an eye.

were made earlier than usual due jto the dry conditions which permitted field work to be done early. However, some hay is just now, being made. Therq4a_a great deal “bf difference in, the value of hay made a month ago and hay being cut for the first time now. » On the average the late cut hay has made tonnage made at the expense of the second cutting. The digestibility has been reduced from 65 to 50 per cent, a kiss of 300 pounds per ton. The protein has been reduced from about 22 per cent down to 12 or a loss of 200 pounds to each ton and this is worth $8 to $lO at the market price. Even with all these savings there is another big one. and that is milk cows need less grain when the hay is top grade. It looks like cows on the early cut hay will need about seven pounds less grain per day. For a herd of 30, this, means over 200 pounds of grain per day or three tons a month. That would be a good figure to convert into dollar bills. Nutrition,, housing and consumer acceptance of manufactured dairy products will be stressed at Purdue university’s field day, Monday, July 15, at the dairy center on Gherry Lane. The morning program will open at 10 o’cloekwith demonstrations, -discussions, andexhibits of research and experimental work at Purdue., > Purdne dairy scientists will report on results of studies in feeding chopped’ green corn, com silage and pasturing fields which received heavy applications of nitrogen. Conversion of feed to milk by cows in relation to their body weight will also be discussed. Free stall housing -a new method of utilization of buildings, bedding and the dairyman’s time - will be discussed. A demonstration of face fly control will be given. Visitors will hear a discussion of the genetic makeup of cows which influences their production and milk composition. Sire summaries available to Hoosier dairymen will be explained. Demonstrations on testing for protein and solids - not - fat will be given.

$332,000 Soil And Water Loan To Indiana John W. King, state director, today announced the approval of a $332,000 soil and water association loan by Farmers Home Administration td' the Kent Water Company, Inc., in Jefferson county, Ind., to provide an adequate supply of good water to local residents. Approximately 158 farm and rural families, 15 small businesses, and two churches will be able to secure the water they need for domestic and livestock use and fire protection. Loan funds will be used to install a rural domestic water system consisting of 25 miles of pipeline, two elevated storage tanks, meters, a pressure tank, rechlorination facilities, hydrants and valves. The present supply of water is obtained from cisterns supplied by roof runoff, some from shallow wells and the rest is purchased from tank trucks. The FHA loan is to be repaid over a period of 40 years with interest at the rate of 4% per cent. The loan will be made from direct funds appropriated by Congress. The water system will stimulate economic activity in the Kent-New Lexington area., It is expected many new dwellings will be built along the water .line, providing business for local carpenters and building supply firms. Small industries will also find the community desirable once an adequate water supply is available. Association loans of this type are available to organizations operating on a non-profit basis such as irrigation, drainage and water supply districts, cooperative water users’ associations, mutual watqr companies, soil conservation districts, and municipalities. Loans may be made in amounts up to $500,000 when funds appropriated by Congress are used, and $1 million when funds are provided by private lenders and insured by the Farmers Home Admini-

FLY OUR FLAG ON THE FOURTH

Dear Amy: _ We would appreciate you reminding your readers to display aur flag proudly on the outside of their.homes on the Fourth of July. 4 It was certainly disappointing last year to see so many people who ‘forgot.’ Many visitors from foreign countries are vacationing in the United States during the Fourth and it’s important to let them know also that we are commemorating a very special day. So please tell your readers} that before they leave for the cook-outs and picnics not to forget to fly the flag. As we look back, it was no picnic for us! 3 Veterans of Foreign Wars • • • Dear Amy: Sorry to tell you I sometimes disagree with your answers. That is to be expected, I guess. I have been watching for someone to write about the children passing their papers to be marked by other children. It won’t do a bit of good to tell the principals, they have known for years. (I wonder where you attended school?) It was done when I went to ' school. When my older boys anj their wives went and now my younger son. All different schools, too! And teachers sing the song they are overburdened, overworked and underpaid. Pshaw! A Disappointed Reader Dear Disappointed: The way I hear it (I went to a school board meeting to find out) the correct answers are posted on the blackboard. Then the children are asked toCcheck each other’s papers for errors. This is done to stimulate interest so that°those students who are not interested are forced to wake up. These papers are checked again by the teachers at home. By the way, when was the last time YOU attended a school board meeting? Dear Amy: My mother and I need advice. My sister, age 35, is getting married. When the wedding was first planned, it was to be a simple affair with just myself as the Matron of Honor, my husband as the Bflst Man, and the wedding was to take place in my mother’s living room. Now that simple affair has grown into a very large

wedding and our problem is this: - There is a limited amount of money to spend for the clothes. The bride has chosen a white lace dress with long sleeves. The dress comes to half way between the knee and ankle. She told the bridesmaid and me to feet daylength dresses alike. W’e walked our feet off but finally found two dresses exactly alike. They are day-length Nile Green Nylon with white lace over the green bodice, short sleeves and a full skirt. We would like to wear white shoes, gloves and a pill box hat so that the clothes could be used again. (The bridal shop suggested the white accessories.) The bride now says that etff" dresses are too short, that they should be the same length as hers. Also that everything should be green. The bridal shop says that our dresses are fine but the bride says, “No.” Now there is no time or money to get more clothes and the dresses cannot be taken back as they were altered to fit us. i; We are going to leave it up to you. What will be the best answer to our problem? lister and Mother of the Bride Dear Sister and Mother: Your dresses sound perfectly lovely and appropriate. The bride is being finicky, inconsiderate and childish. ‘Much to Do’ is being about nothing. You have no problem and neither does she . . . only the one she is creating! • • * Dear Amy: ' , Can you please tell me on the little finger of which hand a°man. should wear a ‘pinkie’ ring? My husband says the left and I say the right. He has his ring on the left hand and says that’s why he can’t wear his wedding ring. So if you can answer this question, he said he would take your advice. Mrs. N.C. Dear Mrs. N.C.: ° There is no set rule on which pinkie a ring is to be worn. But since a wedding band takes precedence over a pinkie ring, he should wear the ring on the right. * • * For a personal reply enclose a stamped, self-addressed envelope.

Long-awaited relief is here from messy, dusty flour which has to be sifted, sticks to hands and makes for lumpy gravies, sauces and mixes. It is an “instantized” flour, granular and completely new in form and is to be available in August. Here are characteristics of the product: It pours like salt and disperses instantly in liquids, hence “instantized.” This makes for fool proof gravies, sauces and mixes and saves time. It slips right through a sifter as pretty Janice Wessburg demonstrates. ' It is dust free and doesn’t pack down. A more uniform cup weight results from radical developments, including secret processes and specially designed equipment. It is totally different from regular flour in appearance and feel. It works in all recipes for all-purpose flour but has led to development of new, time-saving recipes. It comes in easy-pour bags, new for flour. It has the same nutritional value as regular enriched flour. To be marketed under the trade name “Gold Medal Wondra Instantized Flour,” the product, manufactured by General Mills, Inc., represents a historical breakthrough in flour making and is called by company officials the “flour of the future.”
