For it is agriculture upon which the home towns of America have built their economic structure. Every merchant on Main Street in this community depends upon agri-- I culture to keep the doors of his business open and the goods flowing across his counters. The death of a farm woi-'ot- . the destruction of a barn by fire, thf loss of farm machinery through ac-cident has a direct Influence upon this town's economy.

Realizing these facts, many rural communities have planned farm safety campaigns in cooperation with the national observance. Mer-chants have found that incorporation of farm safety features in their advertising creates good will among the farm folks. Civic groups and newspapers have planned coopera-tive advertising and promotion campaigns to impress upon their farmer neighbors the importance they play in the community and the vital necessity of farm safety to-day. The national campaign is spon-sored by the National Safety Coun-cil, a non-profi- t, as-sociation. The importance of safety on the farm has added significance this year. The bureau of agri-cultural economies reports 1,200,000 fewer farm workrrs today than 10 years ago during which time farm mechanization has more than doubled. Due to the need of increased farm production in this time of na-tional crisis, it is likely that many more women and un-skilled workers will have to op-erate tractors, farm trucks, and other machines. Added safety precautions must be taken for the protection ot these unskilled workers. Farm workers had an accidental death rate of more than twice that of workers in in-dustries in 1950. The death rate was 57 per 100,000 workers, while in industries the av-erage death rate was 22. Hera are the highlights of the National Safety Council's annual report on accidents to farm resi-dents. 1. Total farm resident deaths from accidents were 15,500 in 1950. Injuries totaled about 1,300,000. 2. Farm home deaths totaled 3,900, with approximately 550,000 nonfatal injuries. 3. Motor vehicles killed 6,300 farm residents in 1950 and injured 220,-00- 0 mere. 4. The total of farm work deaths was 4,300, which accounted for more than 25 per cent of the nation's oc-cupational death toll for 1950. 5. Public non-mot- vehicle deaths, such as drownings, took the lives of about 1,600 farm residents. On the basis of these figures, the Safety Council reports that one of every 19 farm resi-dents in the United States wiU suffer a disabling injury from an accident in 1951. Farmers and their families can help in the safety program by adopt-ing safe practices to eliminate in-dividual carelessness or thoughtless-ness, which is one of the greatest causes of accidents. Tne following pictures illustrate a number of farm safety jules: ,. HIT THE BRAKES . . .

HUOUSEHOLD If possible, avoid using water on Venetian blinds because, on wood-en ones, it may cause warping and cracking of the paint; with metal ones, rust is always a hazard when the paint gets thin. If you can afford the space when curtains are stored, hang them full length on coat hangers to avoid wrinkles and creases. Ordinary oil paints are seldom satisfactory on hot-wat- er boilers. Even if the paint is applied while the boiler is cold and dry, the sub-sequent heat will crack the paint. If you're too proud to wear a dustcap for housework, better for-get your pride when sifting ashes or doing similar dusty jobs in the cellar. Get your shower cap from the bathroom and put it on.

According to a survey of state lws on driving while under the in-fluence of liquor, recently conducted by the National Safety Council, at least seven states do not include farm tractors in the legal defini-tion of a motor vehicle although they can be used as such. The survey was made because numerous accidents on the nation's highways every year involve trac-tors and automobiles. Many times no automobile was involved, just a tractor. In those states where the survey showed tractors are not included in the legal definition of a motor ve-hicle, a farmer can have his driv-er's license suspended, crank up his tractor and head for a tavern with-out risking arrest for anything worse than creating a public nuisance. |
