Agriculture, Walkerton)
Most farmers at this time, of
year will be making plans for the
coming year's farm Preduetion,
Yet very few will Consider the
fact that an accident to one of
the members of the farm family
can •completely disrupt and even
ruin these well laid plans. This
can result in a drastically reduced
farm income, not to mention the
Sorrow and suffering which cannot
be measured,
Third Highest In Accidents
Farrning.teda.y is a very danger-
'bus occupation. It ha's the third
highest accident rate over all of
the majoroccupatiens and has the
highest number % of accidental
deaths of any, according to Unit-
ed States statistics. •
A survey of farm accidents in
Bruce County several years ago
'also points out the hazardetis''nat-
ure of today's farming. In one
year in the one county, alone, 12
farm people were killed, 218 were
injured, and the financial loss in
medical bills, property damage
and time lost through accidents
amounted to, almost $200,000, 91`
an assessment of445-$50 for every
farm family in the county, U,S.
figures 'say the financial loss-
from farm accidents amounts to
1/7 of the total realized net farm
income in recent years. The same
is very probably true in Ontario.
Farmer Has Common Sense
Most thinking people today in
Ontario who are in any way con-
nected with the industry of agri-
culture, . realize that something
must be done to Stop this appal-
ling loss and suffering. It is one
of the biggest problems facing
the industry today. Contrary to
some people's belief, most accill-
ents don't just happen—they are
caused, and the cause, is the di-

There is a great heed for an
all out organized effort to pro-
mote farm safety in each commu-
nity across the province, This
requires the whole, hearted sup-
port of every organization, cora-
PM' or institution that is in any
way connected with the agricul-
tural industry and as well, of
course, individual farin" people.
However, the first important
step in developing an effective
farm safety programme is to 'ob-
tain statistics on local accidents;
'It is imperative that we have the
facts pertaining to the, problem be-
fore we proeeed to improve the
situation. Once it is known what
type of accidents are causing
the greatest loss, and what are
the causes of these accidents,
then a prevention programme can
be aimed directly at eliminating
or effectiVely controlling these
causes.
U.S. Figures Not Enough
At the present•time in Ontario,
this type of information is not
available. Aside from the results
of the Bruce County survey, a-
bout the only figures - available
are from 'the U.S. where a con,
siderable amount of work has

To Stop Accidents
Witness to the fact that this
type of survey and a safety pro-
gramme to follow will be trem-
endouSly effective in reducing the
farm accident rate is shown in
report after report from various
states in the U.S. In the . last
few years where farm safety com-
mittees have been set up and
where a safety programme based
on a thorough farm accident sur-
vey has been planned and carried
out, the farm accident rates have
very definitely been on the de-
crease. Such states as Minnesota,
New Hampshire, Kansas, Wiscon-
sin and Ohio report decreases in
fatal farm work accidents range
from 20 to 75 percent. Non-fatal
accidents were also proportionally
decreased.
This is what we want to happen
in Ontario, •hence the importance--of the farm accident survey be-
ginning on March 1st. This survey
of farm accidents may be thought
of as a province wide research
project. Just as the answers to..
many other agricultural problems
are found through- research, so
The survey period will cover
One year and it will start this
coming March 1st. Considerable
progress had already•been made in
preparing for such a survey. This
past summer, accident report for-
ms were pretested all over the
province to make sure that the
system of reporting was as simple
as possible and yet as complete
and accurate as possible. Arrange-
ments are now being made in each
county and district throughout
the Province to organize and in-
struct farm people to assist with
this survey.
As Mentioned before, the sur-
vey in each county will be under
the direction of the county Agri-
cultural Representative and his
staff. Each county is being organ-
ized on a township basis with a
number of reporters spread over
the township and headed by a
township chairman whose respon-
sibility will be to see that all ac-
cidents within the township are
properly reported. These township
chairmen will all be members of
a county farm safety committee
which will assist in directing and
conducting the survey.
Sent to be Analysed
The results of the survey will
'be sent in to the Economics Br-
anch of the Department of Agri-
culture to be carefully summar-
ized and analysed. At the end
of. the survey, a report will be
compiled for the whole province
and as well, there will be a break-
down to show the actual picture
in each county and district.
This survey, of course, in inter-
ested only in the cold hard -faCts
about farm accidents but it is
not at all concerned about the
person to whom the accidents hap-
pen. These cold-hearted facts and
statistics when compiled will no
doubt give everyone much food
for thought and will certainly pro-
vide a basis for an accident pre-
vention educational programme
to follow.
However, V,S, figures do not .have
the same value, here in Ontaria.
as information gathered close at
hand. Farm accident surveys have the most value. in .the locality in
which they are made.
This past. spring, the Provin-
cial .11/Hipster of Agriculture, the
Honourable Mr. Goodfellow, an-
nounced!' that the Department
would be starting .a province wide
survey of farm accidents within
the corning year, 'Phis survey is to
be conducted by the Department
through the Extension Branch.
It is to cover accidents to all farm
residents in Ontario; no matter
where they may„occur.•
