85,600 persons were killed in the
corresponding period. This was a

the cause of this 5 drop.; -

suffered the loss of my left hand
in September of 1954.. My brother
and I were grinding some corn for
the cows.' The tractor was not belt
ed properly and kept slipping off.
I was the one', who was in a hurry,
so I picked up the belt and proceed
ed to put it on. ' It was then that
my hand was caught and. cut off.
