It is pointed out that every year scores of farmers are painfully injured and frequently others are 'killed through neglect to observe ordinary precautions or dispensing with the use of protec- tion such as shields for power 'take -off and drains. Dealers :also are aware of the loss 'occasioned fanirn- ers each year by fires. They emphasize the wisdom of preventing fires by periodic checking of electrical wiring, heating systems and other likely places where fire's could originate. Likewise stressed Is ,the value of cleaning up buildings and grounds, not only from the 'standpoint of better 'appearance and more efficient farming, but ;also because untidy prelmfaes invite both fires and accidents. The dealers through their publicity in connection with "Safety Week" will point out that "accidents do `not hap- pen — they are caused"© •POISON IVY CAN SPOIL THE PICNIC VERY year as the holiday season advances reports Ebecome frequent; of a day's outing being spoiled by contact with poison ivy.. -Particularly is the eases of family pn•'@ni'es, where one of the pleasures of the 'day is the ;anticipation of finding an ideal spot on which to camp for the day. Danger is farthest from their thoughts, but experienced ,picnickers know Ithoa^t one of the first things to be done 'on tarri`vinag at an unknown 'spot is to explore it and the surroundings for the possible presence of poison ivy. Poisson ivy -it one of the worst, if not the under skin -irritant plants in North America, and fit ;a variety of conditions, wet or dry, shade or exposed, and ,in any soil from fine sand or rooky 'grid to rich soil in the woods.- It is seldom found In Vaiiltivat'ed land, but' it may be plentiful in unoccupied areas, or in secluded nooks and dells which Children love to explore. Poisoning is the result of contact with any pairt of the plant — leaves, flower., stems, and roots — or from clothing, boobs and tools thait have the juice of ivy on them. If it is anti'ci'pated that poisoar. ivy may be met in the day's outing, it iS 'a good plan to carry a piece of strong laundry soap tin the equipment because washing with this kind of soap in running water immediately con- tact with the ivy is suspected and before the Oil of the plant can penetraite the stein, is the popular and effective treatment. In the event of poisoning, the 131itiall stage is a mild itching sensation, followed by blisters which on breaking } pcome painful oozing sores. In that case, med- ical aid is advisable. The extermination of the poison ivy plant has al- ways been a tough job. During the war, the planet was killed 'around the military camps in Canada by the use of ammonium sulphamalte, and now the new wonder -weed killer, 2,4-D, is being used; but even with this devastaiting chemical it Itatkesl'iwo applications. to complete the entire destruction of the 'obnoxious poison ivy plant. In the use of the 2,4-D weed killer, George Knowles, Weed Control Expert, Field Husbandry Division, Experimental Farms SerVitces, advises considerable care, particularly when near vegetable or flower gardens or ornainenbal trees. Spray- ing should be kept we11 ,away from them and ,should not be carried out on a windy day because _the fine spray carried by the wind might be carried some distance. +O ©. 0 EDITORIAL COMMENT Thought for.
