CLEANING UP IS WAYTOPREVENT FARM ACCIDENTS Mendenhall Also Points Out Rubbish Serious Fire Hazard Giving your farm a spring cleanup will make it much saf ? er as well as much more at tractive, says S. W. Mendenhall, county farm agent. He points out that tools, bags of feed, buckets, and just com mon debris and trash are re sponsible for hospitalizing one out of every five accident vic tims on the farm. This was shown by a study conducted by the National Safety council. The largest single cause of injuries, other than the personal factor of poor judgment, is disorder. To play safe, the farmer should correct such hazards as broken, wobbly steps which might cripple someone for life; tottery old buildings that some times cause serious injuries; unmarked bottles of poison, and poisons left within the reach of children which often cause tragedies; accumulations of trash, paper, scattered boxes and boards, rags and rubbish which are serious fire hazards and ideal breeding places for rats. / "Springtime", says the coun ty agent, "is nature's cleanup time, a time when the earth takes on a new, refreshed look. Let's help nature by cleaning up around the farm and in the farm home, which will not only give the farm a new look but make it a safer and easier place for working and living." He adds that if every farm family would conduct a spring cleanup campaign, both inside and out, it would go a long way toward eliminating fire and ac cident hazards, providing a more healthful environment, and conserving food which is badly needed all over the world. Now Is Good Time To Make Wiring Check Spring clean-up is a good time to look into your electrical affairs around the house. Unlike rubbish which collects and be comes a visual annoyance, elec trical faults don't show until suddenly a painful shock or a flash of fire warns you that something's wrong. To ward off any such dis aster, use your annual clean-up to have electric cords and ap pliances replaced or repaired, advises the National Board of Fire Underwriters. This is the time to take all electric appliances that are op erating poorly or are obviously broken to an electrician. His ex pert job will usually be vastly superior to that of the home handyman, the fire experts sug gest. In inspecting your electrical equipment the National Board outlines these points to check: 1. Inspect flexible cords for breaks in insulation or severe kinks in cords which may rip their protective covering. 2. See that no flexible cord is tacked down on baseboards, under irugs or through door ways. 3. Any new electrical installa tions should be made in accord ance with the National Electric al code. 4. Use only 15 ampere fuses in the household circuits or a 15 ampere circuit breaker. Some heavy duty household appli ances may require larger fuses. Check this with your electric Ian. , 5. Don't overload a circuit with heavy duty electric appli ances or too many electrical appliances plugged into one outlet.
