INJURE MANY EACH DAY J Suggestions Offered On How To Prevent Accidents During the one hour you take ' for dinner each day, two farm | residents will be accidentally killed and 205 Injured, accord ing to David S. Weaver^ head of the Agricultural engineering de- j partment at State college. In giving these figures, com, j piled by the National Safety council, Mr. Weaver advises the I use of common sense in keeping down the accident toll this fear. In 1946, about 4,500 farm workers were killed and approxi mately 300,000 farm workers were injured. During the same year it is estimated that motor vehicle deaths to farm residents increased about 1,000 over 1945. Unless extra precautions are taken this year, one out of every 10 farmers will suffer a disa bling injury, either on or off the job. One out of every 350 farm families will suffer the pain and sorrow which accom pany accidental deaths. Fifty two flirm people will die as a result of accidents every day, and a disabling injury will strick some farmer in the Unit ed States every minute. How can farm accidents be prevented? Farm safety is par ticularly a family affair because, unlike the urban dweller, the lamily is so closely associated with the actual operations of farming. "Common sense tells us, for example ,that children have no more right to be near or on a piece of operating farm machinery than city children have to be around a punch press or a moving locomotive; they have no more business driving a tractor than city children have behind the wheel of a 100 horse power passenger automobile", he pointed out. Many accidents can be pre vented if each famny w'.ll learn what hazards menace their lives at home, at work and on the highway; what each member of the family can do to eliminate as many of these hazards as possible; and that carelessness on the part of any member of the family perils the lives and happiness of all.

Protein Content Of Hay Mayor Consideration Protein is the most valuable constituent in hay, and usually the most expensive to get, ac cording to Dr. R. L. Lovvorn, professor of agronomy at State college. When making hay, es pecially legume hay, this should always be kept in mind. The best time to cut hay is when the protein content is on the rise, the specialist said, adding that alfalfa gives the most in hay value if cut when approximately one-fourth in bloom. The first crop in the budstage, has about 23 per-cent protein, but about 20 per cent when one-tenth in bloom, ana only 17 per cent when in full bloom. The percentage of pro tein increases until one-tenth in bloom and then decreases until full bloom. Where mixed hay crops are grown, especially those contain ing considerable clover or alf alfa, they should be cut during the most favorable time for whatever legume predominates. If the hay mixture contains a low percentage of legume, it is best to cut the crop at about the usual time for cutting ihe timothy or other grasses, he said. We Appreciate Your Patronage ?
