Be Sure to See Your Ford Dealer SAFETY FOR FARM CHILD REN ? ? Children plus farm machinery yield a bumper crop of accidents each year. The children are not at fault, nor is the machinery, therefore it becomes the responsibility of parents to prevent these accidents. A con centrated effort on your farm and in your community to prevent children from being killed or in jured from riding, driving or play ing on machinery could do much to prevent such needless accidents occurring. Falls rank high among fatal * State ?o!Iege Answers Timely Farm Questions Q. Does lightly sprinkling a lawn with a hose really help? A. Some USDA irrigation spec ialists say it does for new ly-seedeii lawns. Once lawn grasses become established, however, light sprink ling from a hand-held hose has little value. Application of at least an inch of water is then required to reach the grass roots where it can do the most good. Q. Now that flies have develop ed a resistance to DDT, what do we do now? A. Fly baits, combining an old principle with the use of new chemical insecticides sye proving to be the best means of meeting : this problem. Malathion. diazinon. and Bayer 13/59 are effective chemicals but all are poisonou and should be handled with due precautions. Q. How serious is this "Brucel losis" that I've been hearing about? i A. Just the most serious, wide spread, and expensive disease of i livestock in the country. USDA j estimates that it is causing an i nual losses to the cattle industry of $58 million a year througl reduced milk output, fewer live calves, and replacement of infect ed cows.
