FARM IOPICS FARM ACCIDENTS CAN BE STOPPED ' • - >•/.'* ' * Machinery Rated aSChief Hazard to Safety. By J. B. RICHARDSON Safety on the farni is largely home-made. One of the reasons there are so /nany accidents on the farm is that farm families operate, largely on their own responsibility. For city people at work or at home, there qre numerous safety precautions, and someone to enforce them. Machinery should be listed as a top hazard in farm work, despite the many improvements made on machinery in recent years. The older hazards, such as unruly bulls and kicking horses, is next. Surveys show, however, that most accidents are caused by careless* ness such as haste, the use of makeshift repairs, by taking chances, by using machinery without guards, or with guards removed. Among the reasons why the farm 13 a fertile field for accidents are The Friendly Neighbors group *of the Volo community Bible church met at the home of Mrs. William Wirtz Tuesday afternoon. k Mrs. Lloyd Eddy of Grayslake spent Friday at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Wilson. , Mrs. M.

On the farm there are frequent changes in work and machinery used, which may mean unfamiliarity with equipment and less accuracy of movement. Under the pressure of summer work, there are often long hours in the field, and chores done in a hurry after dark-- both conducive to accidents. The suffering, the loss of tune, and the actual cash cost of these accidents shows the need for avoiding them. It has been shown time and time again that the wellordered farm, with well-ordered activities, is good insurance against accidents. But still, to a great* extent the I farmer must be his own safety engineer and almost entirely his own disciplinarian-. « ii' y^S' Insect Traps on t*lane Detect Spread of Pests 1 By trapping insects high in the air entomologists are able to gather valuable new information on the habits, and particularly on the spread, gi some, qi the destructive mfrts of farm crops t Inspection of the mixed catch of insects takeh it a certain altitude is useful, for example, in indicating whether a certain type of insect makes most of its advance by flight under its own power or goes a long distance at a time by soaring high and letting the prevailing wind carry it. P. A. Glick of the United States department of agriculture in systematic airplane flights over Louisiana and Old Mexico, and covering all seasons of sever \1 years, collected many of the important and 'destructive crop pests. He reports captures of boll weevils at 2,000 feet, spotted cucumber beetles at 3.00C feet, and leaf-hoppers at altitudes up to 13,000 feet. Mosquitoes, common in lower layers, also wer-e found as high as 5,000 feet. The pink bollworm moth collected, sometimes more than half a mile above the surface, showed that it can spread to our country by natural means. Some small wingless insects were frequent at very high altitudes; for example, springtails and silver Sgfeat frofn 8,000 to il.OOC feet. The insacts were collected us traps specially designed for use on airplanes and controlled from the cockpit or cabin. In practice it was the rule to keep a trap uection open for a certain number of minutes' with the plane flying level at that altitude, then close the section and mount 500 or 1,000 feet and bag another sample while holding that altitude.

Legitimate business and sound business men have been sneered at by bureaucratic theorists who have been plated in positions of power and authority in the nation's capital. These dogmatic doctrinaires are sublimely ignorant on the subject of how income is produced but they know all the answers when at comes to spending other people's money. So they, at one and the same time, have exercised every ingenuity to cripple Free Enterprise which provides the income while devising new and better schemes for bigger spending and borrowing. In the good old "horse and buggy" days, we would have characterized this silly procedure a» "looking a gift-horse in the mouth." A few weeks a^o, the Administration suddenly discovered or rather Herr Hitler pointed it out, that this nation faced an emergency. Despite the many billions of dollars that had been spent in recent years on national defense, we were advised that our defenses were wholly inadequate and it was necessary to spend further billions to make this country safe from attack^ Now, it is . not the purpose here to inquire as to what happened to the billions already spent for defense-- the nation will get around to finding out about that in due season. Nor is it our intention to criticise the spending of^adSitional billions because for once we are lh^perfect/accord with the Administration in its avowed determination tos build up our arjny, navy and air-forces. However, we would like to point out something very significant. To whom did the Government go with its problem ? Did it go to the college professors or the half-baked economists? No! It went right over to the doghouse to confer with the despised industrialists whbm it had interred theer for the duration of the New Deal. / ft reached into United States Steel rnd drafted its Board Chairman, E. R. Stetyinius, and it borrowed Mr. Knudsen from General Motors. It wanted airplan& in huge quantities and in a hurry, and Mr. Ford (one of the worst of the Economic Royalists) said he opined he could make 1000 airplane motors a day. provided the government would mind its business an<* let him tend to his. We hate people who say: "We told you so," but this [<? one occasion where' it should be said. In snite of^all the! invective, the abuse and the punish- J ment heaped upon business, in gov-' erntnent's hour of need, without the! slightest hesitation, it called upon! business men. and the business men! just as unhesitatingly heeded the call, j roiled up their sleeves and went back to work. | sible for a child to be allergic (sensitive) to hu own mother's milk. Many of these babies will recover completely and never have any more symptoms of allergy. Others will remain allergic to milk and must be kept on a milk-free diet tor many years. Still others become allergic to other substances and will develop various symptoms." Dr. Barton Even ® change in temperature affects some individuals sometimes almost taking away their breath or causing a stomach upset. Dr. Slesinger says that the most satisfactory method of dealing with the allergic child is to try to remove the offending food from his diet, and the offending substance-- pollen, feathers, furs--from his surroundings. When the food or other substance is difficult to remove from his diet or surroundings, then a process of trying to make him less allergic or sensitive to this food or other substance should be used. This is done in the case of food by starting with small amounts of the. food daily and gradually increasing the amount until he is able to eat th« usual serving without the development of any,symptoms. • • • Age Important in Treatment of Hernia TP WO brothers consulted a physi- * cian regarding "lump" in the lower abdomen which was really a "threatened" rupture or hernia. As they disliked the idea of an operation and the injection treatment was not in use at the time, the physician advised abdominal exercises--lying on back and raising legs (knees straight)--and the wearing of a light truss to prevent threatened hernia from becoming worse. In one case the results were most satisfactory and the "lump" completely disappeared, even when the truss was removed. In the other casf the hernia became worse and operation was performed. Later, in the apparently cured case, there was no sign of hernia for 15 years until a heavy "lift" was made and the hernfe "came down." Operation gave fine results as the abdominal muscles were in good condition. What about trusses to control a rupture or hernia? In those whose abdominal muscle tissue is poor, in those who fear operation, and in those whose hernia is unsuitable for injection, the wearing of a properly fitted truss gives both comfort and safety. I have seen a number "apparently" cured by exercise and the truss, but as in the case above mentioned the later history of the case m-jht reveal a return of the hernia. Can a rupture be cured by wearing a truss alone, that is, without exercise? Dr. Ralph Coyte, in the British Medical Journal, says: "Concerning the chance for cure by wearing a truss, I should jike to say that there does not appear, to be any chance after the age of four. Even before the age of four, the chance of curing a hefcia by simply wearing the truss is very^ small and depends on one important point. That is that once the truss ha$ been applied no further protrusion (pushing through) be allowed until the truss is discarded, which may be only after several years.** It would be well for parents to consult their physician if their youngster under four has a hernia. They should not wait, hoping that it will disappear without treatment. ' • • • QUESTION BOX that our defense industries will not have to look to foreign sources for such materials when the National Defense program gets under full swing was voiced by Edward R. Stettinius, Jr., head of the National Advisory Defense Commission's material and supply section, in his first report to the nation on the progress being made in the National Defense program. Mr. Stettinius informed the nation that one of the most urgent problems faced by his division was the planning of a program that will assure an adequate D- Roosevelt cast aside a precedent meet all demands.

It saw Franklin supply and a sufficient reserve of such strategic materials as rubber, tin, aluminum, tungsten and antimony. He predicted that within a short tijrie a process for the making of synthetic rubber will have been perfected and that it will end our dependence on the Far East in respect to rubber imports. This has been one of the grave problems that lias faced the Commission. He further disclosed that through the cooperation of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, Who advanced the money for the purchase, a large stock of vital tungsten and antimony was on its wfy to the United States from a point near Indo China. Mr. Stettinius cited the progress being made with reference to the securing of the following necessary materials: Aluminum--This industry has advised the Commission of plates for expansion and its willingness to erect plants to cover the entire program as needs develop. Tuluol--An essential part of TNT--The {Commission says that this industry has given Considerable thought to possible requirements and has made plans for deVeloping processes to meet defense needs. ^Optical glass--Essential to range findings and other fire control instruments-- The Bausch and Lomb people, who are the principal producers, have in conjunction with the Bureau of Standards developed production to an extent where an adequate supply for the Army and Navy requirements will be forthcoming.
