accidents ,Ocenr. .after 3 p.m.
when men are getting tired.
The farm safety record from
1959. to 1968 has improved, but
can be better, Mr, Snyder said.
This past year, he .said, there
Were 230 fewer accidents, a total
of 371, compared with 601, and
10 fewer fatilities — 20—
compared with 30.
He said there were 16 more
permanent injuries, ..altheugh
there were 79 less serious
injuries,
Cost, through loss of time,
based on a $20 a day medical
bills and property damage, was
$844,000 in 1959. It was
$782;000 in 1968.
"The majority of accidents
around the farm are caused by
falls from climbing and on
Slippery barn floors, he said. He
said the second largest numberof
accidents occurred on the
highways and the third highest
around -machinery.
Thirty-seven per cent of
machinery accidents, he said, are
due to the fact safety shields are
removed. Persons between 10
and 19 are most prone to
accidents, both on the highway
and on the farm, he said. In the
next category, he said, are
children from one to 10, then
persons 20 to 29 and 40 to 49.
Constable H. G. Elson,
accident prevention co-ordinator
for the .OPP District 2, said new
legislation makes it an offence to
carry passengers on an open
tractor. Persons, he said, can ride
on a hay wagon, but their feet
must not dangle over the edges.
Edward Good, RR 2, New
Hamburg, was chairman of the
meeting.
Farmers from Oxford,
Haldimand, Brant, Waterloo,
Wentworth, Lincoln, Welland
and Halton counties attended.
that Huron is one of the leading
agricultural counties. For
example, of 4,565 census farms,
there are 3,664 commercial
farms and 620,472 acres of
improved land area—the top in
Ontario by quite a margin.
Huron again was first in
several categories: cattle, with
201,500 head valued at
$37,501,000 ($186 per head);
hens and chickens, with
2,435,000 head valued at
$2,461,200; first in acreages of
barley, white beans and ensilage
corn.
"With such a strong livestock
and crop combination, Huron is
one of the most economically
viable agricultural counties in
Ontario", Mr. Pullen stated. "In
an effort to keep our farmers
well informed we will be
offering several agricultural
extension courses this winter at
the Agricultural Office," he
announced.
"Generally speaking, 1968
was a good crop year in Huron,
and quality and yields should be
very gratifying for our farmers,"
he commented. "The fall work is
in good shape as compared with
normal. It is to be hoped that
some farmers won't be spoiled
and 'bite off more than they can
chew' next year," Mr. Pullen
advised. "Contrary to common
thinking, 'bigness' is not always
the answer to increased income,
Usually a good philosophy in
agriculture is to 'get better
before you get bigger'."
Farm union
F of A topic
Will Ontario farmers ever
speak with a unified voice? If so,
when?
Those are the two main
questions facing farmers right
now, and Huron farmers will get
a deeper insight into when those
questions may be answered at
this year's Federation of
Agriculture banquet at
Londesboro on Wednesday,
November 27.
The proceedings start at 1:30
p.m. and every resident of
Huron County is invited to
attend the meeting.
Guest speaker will be Keith
Matthie, Executive Director of
the Ontario Federation of
Agriculture and chairman of the
16-man committee on One
General Farm Organization.
Mr. Matthie will be reviewing
progress of the committee to
date and will give Huron farmers
some answer to the
aforementioned questions.
As well as outlining progress
of the committee and some of
theproblems encountered to
date, he no doubt will be giving
some of his own personal views
on farm union, explaining what
benefits can be expected and
what drawbacks may be
encountered.
Keith Matthie operates a
dairy farm in family partnership
at Algonquin in Greriville
County. He hat 300 acres in
crop land.
Huron Federation president
Eimer Hunter has extended a
sincere welcome to all persons
interested in farming to attend,
"It is essential that we speak
With one voice to Government
and to society," he points out,
HO also points out that lack
of communication hinders the
work of those who attempt to
aid farmers, noting that
communications is one Of the
Prime jobs of the federation of
Agriculture,
Agenda for the annual
meeting has been kept, very
simple so there will be ample
time to deal with all the
questions that will he put befdre
the Speaker.
