The Wingham Advance-Times, 1965-07-15, Page 10Page 2-Wingham Advance*Tithes, Thursday, July 15, 1965 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. 1 FOR SALE No. 66 New Holland Baler, P.T.O.

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. —Advance -Times Photo.
