The President pointed out that experience gained in previous ob servances of Farm Safety Week "clearly shows the necessity and benefits of a coordinated and con slant educational farm safety pro gram." He called upon all persons , and organizations concerned with farm life to do everything possi ble to publicize the facts about , farm accidents and to develop practical safety programs for farm people. Ned H. Dearborn, president of the National Safety Council, stated ! that last year 1.200 more farm res idents were killed in accidents than in 1944, and he added that National Safety Council statisti- ; cians fear that if some drastic ac tion is not taken, the accidental death toll among farm residents will rise in the next year or two to the tragic al-time high of 1941 ? j 19,500 deal "is. The uii^fiicil offers the following tips on safety around the farm: . ii a person is overcome by heat ex haustion or sunstroke, remember the following rule: ."If the patient . is cold, make him warm; if he is hot make him cool"; if you use large quantities of gasolifie, store it in an underground tank and use a flashlight or approved electric light to measure the contents of the tank or containers; sudden stops of overloaded trucks cause many deaths each year, so do not I overload; be sure that you can see I at least 700 feet up and down highways when coming out of a driveway; keep small children away from horses; and in regard to tractors, never allow extra rid ers, avoid loose, sloppy clothing, 'and follow the manufacturer's in ' structions to the letter. I ? | crease the amount of stooling and ; the number of seed heads. The j number of seed heads are already determined by the level of nitro ! gen fertilization in February and March.
