Power edgers, either or electric, are fast and dangerous if they aren't used properly. Make sure there are no bystanders when you operate an gas-drive- ant dant tion corn operated in a forward direction, since the operator has no protection if it is operated backwards. Kdgers, lawnmowers, and other power tools should always be disabled when not in use so that small children can't start them. One good way is to disconnect the spark plug wire.

In another report, the Agriculture Department cut its estimate of the 1984 Soviet grain ciop from 190 million tons to 180 million tons. The department estimated the By DOUGLAS MURPHY Herald Washington Bureau - U.S. sugar WASHINGTON producers will depend increasingly for markets on developing nations in this decade and beyond, as declining domestic consumption and new sugar substitutes squeeze sales at home. Sugar industry researchers conclude as a country's income level rises, so does its sweetener intake. And because of the importance of the nutrient value of sugar in developing nations, there is very little interest in low calorie sweeteners. Though the drastic increase in sugar use in developing countries (up 60 percent since 1960) has offset the move toward low calorie sweeteners in developed nations, the sugar industry believes it must remain competitive against foreign exporters in order to continue to stay competitive long-handle- in domestic markets. To accomplish this, the sugar industry must depend on the sugar price support program, part of the 1981 farm program, according to the report. The current farm program, which expires at the end of 1984, authorizes price support loans and port states, markets are Bonds 13, 1984 For in an existing business more effectively?

In a report released by The Domestic Sugar Industry, as U.S. income levels rose, so did its sugar consumption. In 1822, America's sugar consumption was 9.5 pounds per person In 1900 that level rose to 65 pounds per person, and in 1930. the average person consumed 104 pounds of sugar per year. According to the report, Americans used an average of 133 pounds of sweeteners in 1983. Nearly 31 pounds is bought in bulk form and added directly to foods and drinks. The bulk of U.S. sweetener intake is in soft drinks, ice cream and baked goods, fruits and processed foods.

If you are pulling it back from a fence or wall, make sure your toes are out of the way. If you are mowing a lawn that is not level, watch out for sharp dips or rises that might overturn a mower or trip you. If you're mowing a hillside with a push mower, cut across the hill, rather than up and down. If the machine should slip, you'll be out of the way. If your machine has guards, shields or other safety devices, make sure they are securely in place before you operate it. Don't try to adjust or service your machine if you don't have the expertise to do it. Consult an expert. Some gardeners suffer injuries from strained back and muscles. Learning the proper way to lift heavy materials, and getting assistance with muscle-strainin- g projects can prevent such injuries. Also, the use of tools will eliminate the need for kneeling, bending, and chopping, all of which put strain on backs and shoulders. Do as much gardening as possible standing upright, rather than bending over. When lifting, keep your back straight and bend your knees. children are in the area. Most kids are fascinated by the machines and want to try using them. More gardeners are probably injured by lawnmowers than any other power tool, simply because they don't take simple precautions. Before you attempt to adjust a mower, turn it off, disconnect the spark plug wire, remove clogged grass clippings, and check any loose parts of the machine. Make sure any machine is turned off before you refill the gas tank. Gasoline spilling on a hot motor could cause a fire, so let the machine cool, first. Look around the lawn for any loose items before you start mowing, and make sure no one is standing in the path of anything the blade might throw. People have been killed by metal objects thrown by the blade with bullet-lik- e force. It isn't a good idea to mow grass when it is wet. Wet grass is slippery and could cause a fall. Furthermore, wet grass tends to clog the discharge chute. People have lost 84 amount from the crop. The crop was expected to be the fourth largest in history.
