Near death prompts warning
Following the death of
one man last fall, and the
near death of two other
Huron County farmers
two weeks ago, Huron
County agricultural
engineer Ron Fleming is
warning of the dangers of
manure gas.
Now is the time of year
when farmers are getting
ready to pump out thdse
liquid manure tanks that
have filled up over the
winter, under or near
many animal raising
operations, and Mr.,
Fleming says that the
decomposing manure
gives off a variety of
gases including hydrogen
sulfide, carbon dioxide,
and methane.
The most dangerous,
hydrogen sulfide, is the
culprit in most animal
and human deaths, and is
produced continuously in
an un -aerated manure
storage, says Mr.
Fleming, and because it
is heavier than air, it can
accumulate on the sur-
face of the manure. As
the level of the manure
rises under a slatted
floor, the gas may be
forced above floor level,
endangering both man
and animal.
Hydrogen sulfide gas is
usually associated with a
, rotten egg odour,
however, says Mr.
Fleming, in higher
concentrations the gas
paralyzes the olfactory
nerves in the nose, so
relying on the smell of the
gas can be life-
threatening, as high
concentrations result in
nearly the complete
immediate halt to
breathing.
Lesser amounts of the ,
gas can result in nausea,
belching and coughing, or
eye irritation.
The danger period for
hydrogen sulfide gas is
usually during agitation
of, liquid manure. This
agitation releases the gas
in a manner similar to the
way gas is given off by
shaking a bottle of pop.
Several precautions
should be taken, says Mr.
Fleming, for the safe .
handling of liquid
manure: 1 never enter a
pit without a self-
contained breathing
apparatus and a life -line;
2 - don't let the pit fill
completely - 1 or 2 feet of
air space allows for some
accumulation of gas; 3 -
provide strong ven-
tilation during pumping
and agitation. Keep
people, and if possible,
animals, out of the
building at this time; 4 -
pumping and agitation
operations should involve
two people.

Craig told the annual
meeting of the Godertch
Liberal (federal)

nesday he believes
Canadians have to decide
whether they want Prime
Minister Pierre Elliott
Trudeau or "eleven
premiers headed by Joe
Clark".
The Walton area far-
mer feels Canada has
prospered under
Trudeau's leadership. He
• said the disposable in-
come of Canadians.is up
almost 52 percent with
the Canadian farmers
recording the highest
incomes cker in 19.77.
"Unemployment is still
too high," Craig told
nearly 60 people who
attended the dinner
meeting at the Maitland
Country Club .. in
Goderich. But he
reminded them as well
that in the last year,
400,000 new jobs have
been created by the
federal government.
Jack Riddell, MPP for
Huron Middlesex, said
he'd heard Prime
Minister Trudeau
'speaking in Toronto
earlier.the same day.
"He came out
swinging," said Riddell.
"It was one or the more
dynamic speeches .I've
ever heard him give. It
should be a firey cam-
paign."
Riddell predicted more
votes. in Toronto .than
some pessimistic
Liberals are expecting.
The Goderich Liberal
Association's new
executive is Howard
Aitken, president; Muriel
Murphy, vice-president;
Harold Shore, secretary;
Ken Keller, treasurer;
and Mona Mulhern, Mary
Lapaine and Larry Sloan,

President Aitken
remarked the Liberal
party in this area is in
"the best position he's
ever seen" so early in the
campaign. Goderich

been secured on The
Square and Liberal
headquarters in Walton
were already open and
staffed on Wednesday,
March 28.
