OBSERVE FARM SAFETY
ALL YEAR ROUND
Safety a word of increasing
importance for today's modern
farmer, Today he is surrounded
by complicated machinery which
helps hint increase the amount
of fend he produces for a hungry
world,
Responsibility — another iln-
portpit word, The productign
of food is an immense responsi-
bility. But it goes further, Today's
farmer still takes pride in his
independence. But without res-
ponsibility for his own personal
safety and that of his family and
fellow workers, both health and
future are endangered.
Every year a week is set aside
as Farm Safety Week. These
seven short days help to high-
light the dangers to the farmer
and his family. During this week
you take time to look for the
potential danger. spots. Then
correct them, or make everyone
aware of them.
But one week is not enough.
Safety is a year-round responsib-
ility. The Farm Safety Council of
Ontario, in cooperation with the
Ontario Department of Agricul-
ture and Food,' asks YOU to not
only observe Farm Safety Week
one week but for the remaining
51 weeks of the year.
The future you protect is your
own.
A new method of testing the
backfat thickness of a hog has
been developed. It is called an
ultrasonic backfat tester..
The importance of testing the
backfat is explained by Garnet
Norrish, swine specialist with the
Ontario Department of Agricul-
ture •and Food.
Backfat thickness and the
underlying loin eye area are high-
ly hereditary characteristics. One
method of assessing the backfat
thickness would be to examine
the slaughtered animal. But, an
examination of the backfat and
loin eye area in the live animal
can give the hog producer a better
assessment of the hog as breeding
stock.
The mechanical probe is one
method of examining the hog.
This give on nettle.) measurement
of the backfat thickness, by
measuring through a small harm.-
less incision, However, this
method is slow and produces
more stress in the animal than
the new method.
The ultrasonic tester is simply •
pla.ced in the proper area of the •
hog's back and a reading. is shown
on a dial. Values of U.S inch or
less are desirable.
Development of an ultrasonic
tester has taken fl or 7 years
SayS Mr. Norrish. Only in the
last year has a reliable and accur-
ate model been produeed, The
machine is quite exneusIve, cost.
