On the front page of this week’s edition is a short de scriptive notice of another farm accident. .No matter how often you pick up a daily paper throughout the summer you read of a man who got mangled and perhaps lost an arm or leg—yes, —his life. These news items do not the pain and suffering of individual,—the worry and cern of the ones closest to .Page 5 15 26 30 14 19 19 8 6-9 Sergeant: “What is the first thing to do when cleaning a rifle?” Private: “Look at the num ber.” Sarge: “And what has that to do with it?"

There are several reasons. Num ber one. Carelessness! Number two. Ignorance! It is well to re member that all accidents are preventive. Remember to give machinery the respect it deserves. Machinery is a robot! It has no brain! You set it in motion and if oiled and cared for properly will run until power fails. Manu facturers are doing much * to make their products safer. They put shields over open, turning shafts, but the farmer throws them away—too much trouble! The manufacturer stencils — “Hands out”, the farmer leaves machinery outside and the sten cil rusts off. While we feel com passion for accident victims caused by the above,— it is their own fault. The average farmer is blessed at birth with two arms with hands, two legs with feet and two eyes with good vision, and supposedly a brain to use in order to keep these intact. The Junior Farmers today can receive sound training in 4H Machinery Clubs. Here, safe- ty rules are stressed, perhaps more so than the mechanics of operation. Some of the rules are: 1. Stop machine to oil and ad just. 2, Keep all shields in place while working. 3. Never put hands near moving gears. 4. Wear tight-fitting clothing — keep jac kets buttoned. 5. If machine is clogged—STOP and clear manu ally. 6. Never attempt to remove a belt while it is running. 7. Beware-—Don’t, take a chance! Carelessness- The experts list the following: worry, hurry, lack of sleep — anything . that robs you of nor mal caution, Be twice as careful whenever something is bothering you. Perhaps when you are tired or lacking sleep it would pay to pull up under a shade tree for half an hour. Traffic investiga tions have proven that a large majority of accidents occur at. the end of the day and through out the night from — Fatigue. It is sound reasoning that many farm accidents are from the same cause. Some people are naturally im patient and therefore are acci dent prone. They rush here, rush there, and eventually they get caught. And we do mean literally caught. Caught in circumstances that are painful, perhaps crip pling. They took a chance and lost. Ignorance — Farm machinery today is very intricate. The manufacturer gives with each unit a book of instructions to the dealer. A good dealer in cludes this book to the customer. What’s more he very carefully explains the unit to the customer and starts the machine for him in Huron County Crop Report By G. W. MONTGOMERY Very heavy rainfall the earlier part of the week caught farmers with a considerable amount of cut hay. With a little better weather most of this hay will be harvested Friday or Saturday of the week. All row crops, particularly corn, made good growth this past week. Pastures and livestock are both in excellent condition. Fruit growers report consider able scab in their orchards and wet weather has made spraying most difficult. Strawberries pre just about at an end and have been selling from 30-35 cents per quart. •wliat causes it? J f th© field. Now it’s up to the farmer. He can take 15 minutes and read up the operation of the new machine or he can operate it on a catch-can basis — and more or less it’s mostly catch. If he reads the instruction book carefully and notes where the manufacturer, (who has many points on safety included in the book), states to be careful the chances are the farmer will live to be an old, old man. But too often from lack of operating knowledge the, farmer, no safety expert, just goes ahead; with the result the machine does not operate properly, becomes clog ged and then without practising the number one rule — “stop the machine to adjust” he at tempts to remedy the trouble. Result — All too often his friends bring flowers and yes,-— sometimes lilies. . Beware! Play it safe! Farm to live and live to farm!
