Winter Is Time For Bain Repair Ifs time to weed out accident hazards around the barn, sug gests Howard Clppp, "Cleveland County farm agent lor the State College Extension Service. Mr, Clapp says that as farm work subsides and winter bears down barn accidents climb. The chance for accidents in and a round the barn are greater in winter than any other time of the year. The first job is to find the acci dent hazards. Some of them may have remained unnoticed for years. The second step is to cor rect the hazards, according to the county agent. "Do some house cleaning and set things in order. If the alleyway "or work areas ?re obstructed wfch feed, stools, carts or other obstacles, find a safe placfc for them and keep work areas clear. Avoid stoHng loose materials overhead where they may fall. Keep forks, scrap ers and other barn cleaning tools In a safe storage rack." Loft doors, feed chutes, ladders and stairways present falling ha zards in most barns. I-adder* or stairwell should not be used as hay chutes. A well Constructed clean stairway with a strong hand rail provides the safest and easiest passage to hay mows. When it is hecessary to use a ladder, see that the ladder ex tends well above the loft floor and that it is kept in good condi tion. Never work in the dark warns Mr. Clapp. See that all work ar eas and passageways are w^ll lighted. Observe "no smoking" rules and always be on guard tor fires.
