Show PIUTE COUNTY NEWS, JUNCTION. UTAH U. S. Revolutionizes Plan For Safety in Communities Organize to Cut Down An nual Toll of Deaths and Accidents. By C. B. AUOL, President, National Safety Council. Chicago. Every community contributes its quota to the yearly total of 85,000 accident fatalities and the toll continues to Increase year by year. Twenty thousand of the victims ure children. Twenty thousand men, worn en and children are killed In autorno Me accidents in a year. Twenty thousand more meet death by accident in their homes. The Injured and crippled run into the millions each year. These are facts, the significance of which is more poignant when it is realized that at least 75 per cent of all accidents are avoidable. Aware of Menace. Communities, fast becoming aware f the menace of the avoidable accident, are organizing themselves Into effective associations known as community safety councils to work for the prevention of accidents. There ore now over CO cities In this country with active councils studying accident hazards, solving safety problems and spreading accident prevention Informs tion and education into factories, homes and schools. The public safety activities of the community safety councils Include safety Instruction in public and parochial schools (it is estimated that more than 2,500,000 children are now receiving safety education ns part of their school work) ; organization ol highway safety committees; the placing of bulletin boards and the posting of public safety bulletins; (lie elimination of traffic hazards; law enforce ment ; conducting schools for automobile drivers; fire prevention; home safety; childrens activities; safety drivers clubs; water life saving and others. By schools for safety supervisors; first-aifire - prevention courses; courses; mass meetings for workmen; meetings for managers and executives ; organization of committees; plant visits and Inspection and other means, the community safety council has become a vehicle for accident prevention work in the industrial plants of the community.

Weakness Caused g cow-testin- soml-soll- d cow-testin- g g Leg by Improper Feed to Hens Recent experiments with poultry at the New Jersey agricultural experiment station, New Brunswick, show that it Is unnecessary to use commercial mineral mixtures for the prevention of leg weakness, if a normal ration is fed. When 20 per cent of the laying mash consisted of commercial ment scrap, and plenty of green feeds were available to the birds, no leg weakness occurred. Mashes containing only vegetable meat scrap proteins or very which contains a low percentage of mineral matter sometimes permitted leg weakness to develop. Deficient rations of this type wore corrected by "using a mixture of a steamed ground bone, GO pounds; calcium carbonate, and common salt, 20 20 pounds, Throe pounds of this mixture pounds. were used In 97 pounds of tnnsh. Since the discovery at the New Jersey experiment station that the addition of certain enzymic materials to the mash tends to promote growth In young stock, many poultrymcn have Inquired about the use of these materials for promoting egg production. Authorities at the station state that at the present time insufficient data have been obtained to recommend the addition of these substances to the laying mash, but that different pens fed various amounts of vegetable enzymic materials In the mash have shown appreciable differences in production. high-grad- Market Surplus Cockerels Poultry experts advise the enrly marketing of cockerels that are not to be saved. After a cockerel weighs two pounds, they say, it takes more feed to produce every additional pound than either of the first two pounds. Besides, the bigger the rooster, the more likely it Is that the price a pound will lie lower. Cockerels sold as broilers bring the best prices and the lnrgest profits usually. e Swiss chard Is a good leaf vege- tal le for warm weather.

For Next Years Hatch Starting Cattle on Grass Those who make use of legume pasture should avoid turning cattle on the clovers while they are wet from dew or rain. In starting cattle on legume pasture, never turn them in on an empty stomach. Give them a feed of good hay or of grain so they will eat more slowly. Also avoid feeding salt y at weekly or Intervals, as that causes them to eat much larger quantities at one time than when they bar ball; access to this mineral. ten-da- Proper feeding of the growing chicks will bring them into production early. It Is the greatest extravagance to try to save on the feed of growing chicks. While some strains of chickens are doubtless better than others, because they have been more carefully bred for a specific purpose, there is slight difference in the potential value of the breed. |
