Using Agricutturcil
Chemicals Safely
Each year more farm pesti-
cides are being used to control
plant disease and rodents, and
although these chemicals in-
crease crop production and pro-
tect produce, farm people risk
their lives and crops it they are
used carelessly.
The National Safety League
of Canada, in co-operation with
the Canadian Agricultural
Chemicals Association, is en»
deavouring to make farm fam-
ilies more aware of the dangers
of accidental poisoning. Ac-
cording to the League, acci-
dental poisoning can be pre-
vented if these four keys to
safety are followed:
1. LABEL; Read everything
on the label and follow the in-
structions to the last word. Use
common sense to bridge the
gap between what is written on
the label and the actual chem-
ical application.
2. USE: Chemical users
should thoroughly plan their
application programs. Use the
correct chemical at the right
time for the job to be done.
Use the appropriate respirator
when required. Wear the pre-
scribed type of clothing or skin
covering as noted on the label
or on special instructions. Keep
children away from mixing,
dusting, or spraying areas,
3. STORAGE; Agricultural
chemicals should be stored in a
cabinet, room, or building that
can he clearly marked and
locked, and where there is no
chance of contact with human
food or livestock feeds. Keep
chemicals in their original con-
tainers, never in pop bottles,
canning jars, or unmarked con-
tainers, especially those asso-
ciated with food and drink,
4. DISPOSAL; Dispose of
empty containers immediately.
Never throw containers or
small leftover amounts in gar-
bage cans or dumps accessible
to children. Crush and bury
metal or glass containers when-
ever possible. When burning
containers, avoid inhaling the
fumes. Gasses released by the
heat may be extremely poison-
ous.
If a person who has been
using pesticides suddenly be-
comes ill or feels faint, the
family doctor should be called
immediately.

Crop Report
Crops have made excellent
growth since the rains of last
week according to D. H. Miles,
agricultural representative for
Huron. White beans have im-
proved considerably. Fall
wheat is beginning to turn color
and fall barley may be ready
to cut by the first of next week.
Haying operations still con-
tinue with a fair amount yet to
store. Corn would respond very
quickly with some warm days
and nights.
Harvest Hauling
The National Safety League
of Canada and the Canadian
Highway Safety Council offer
three tips for safe harvest haul-
ing.
First, before pulling onto a
public road, check traffic from
both directions and make sure
it is safe to do so. Second,
avoid holding up a line of traf-
fic by pulling off to the side.
Third, use the new slow-mo-
ving vehicle emblem on the
rear of all equipment travel-
ling less than 25 miles per hour.
This orange, triangular warning
device identifies slow-moving
vehicles, thereby giving extra
protection against a rear -end
collision.
Information on this emblem
may be obtained from provin-
cial safety councils, 4-H clubs
or National Safety League of
Canada, 30 the Driveway, Ot-
tawa.
THE TEESWATER BAND led the Orange walk here on
Saturday afternoon and paraded before an estimated 8,000
people who were in town for the event. The band was
also called on for several numbers during the afternoon
at the town park.
