USE CAUTION WITH CORNPICKER BEFORE INJURIES RESULT The best time to be careful with cornpickers is before you i are injured. One hundred fiftyfive Illinois farmers last year found that "it can happen to j me." These men were seriously injured,.and some Were even killj ed by their own cornpickers. j, But your picker can be just as safe as you want to make it, says O. L. Hogsett, extension t ^Hsafety specialist at the University of Illinois College of Agriculture. A safe, picker is one that is mechanically sound, well adjusted and operated right. J Here are four safety tips. Follow thpm religiously and you should finish picking your corn without injury. Never try to unclog, adjust, oil or grease your picker while 0k it is running. Always shut off the power before you do any work on the machine. Never be in a hurry. One of the biggest dangers with pickers comes, when the operator gets in a hurry. Which is better -- to play it slow and safe or to wind Up in the hospital minus a hand or foot because you became careless while trying to hurry? Another big danger comes in running your cornpicker when { • you're tired.' Many a hand • or foot has been lost when a tired, irritated operator carelessly tried to unclog the rolls along toward dusk. Better quit early than get hurt because you are tired and ctfreless. If possible, change operators once in a while and rest. It's wise to carry a fire extinguisher on the tractor. During , cornpicking there's always some ' ® danger that the shucks may catch fire from a hot manifold. * In case of fire, a good extinguisher would help to save your \ tractor or picker. Be wise -- economize by prev e n t i n g cornpicker accidents through safe operation. It's good business. • November 15 McHenry Community P.TA Meeting--High School Cafeteria --8:15 pjn.

These questions are a natural result of the large price advance after harvest last year and the big crop that farmers have just harvested.1 The present soybean situation is much like that of a year ago, but there are some very important differences: Soybean prices averaged slightly over two dollars a bukhel at harvest time in 1955 and about the same during the recent harvest. Prices for the 1955 crop rose spectacularly to over three dollars in May. Many farmers are holding their 1956 drop, hoping for a repeat performance. Both crops were record-breakers, but the 1956 crop is by far the greater, 470 million bushels compared with 371 last year. Carryovers of bid beans were not important in either year, being ten million bushels in 1955 and five million this year. Several unusual developments lifted prices of the 1955 bean crop: (1) crop yield prospects" declined toward harvest time; (2)utii6 Department of Agriculture in&eased subsidized exports of soybeans and soybean oil; (3) the supply of olive oil in Europe fell far below normal, and European buyers bought our soybeans and oil as a substitute; (4) production of poultry and hogs were pushed to very high levels, making a large outlet for soybean meal; and (5) the justified rise in soybean prices attracted speculation that pushed prices to even higher levels. Soybean yields this year Were better than early prospects. The Department of Agriculture will continue to subsidize exports, but exports may not increase in the same proportion as production has increased. Supplies of most competing products in other countries are larger than they were last year. However, the size of some important foreign oil crops (such 4s European oliye oil, African peanuts and the Asian oilseeds) 'will not be known for another month or two. Since large amounts I of products that compete with soybeans are shipped through the Suez Canal to Europe, any restriction on traffic through the canal would trefld to lift prices of our soybeans. Hog production js declining, and poultry production will probably increase much 16ss than it did in the year just ehd&l This change will restrict the demand for soybean meal. The most imfr&tant factor in soybean prices this ^ear may be the price support program. The price support Joaif fate will average $2.15 a bushel:' If buyers, do not take the large, supply at prices near or above The' support level, fanners will put most of the excess under price'^tijjpbrt loans; Experiences with other crops indicate that average market prices ^u*e likely to be several cents below the price support loan rates before farmers place lar^e amounts under loan. The Department of Agriculture has announced that any soybeans acquired by price support' loans will not be sold before next October 1 at less than the price support level plus carrying charges. It has been profitable to hold soybeans for sale after harvest in seven of the ten years since Wprld War II. The exceptions 'were the crops of 1948, 1952 and 1954. OUR "COLORLESS" MALES, Ten times as many men are color blind as women, according to statistics released recently. One man in 25 suffers from this malady, while it affects only one woman in 250. Color blindness is an hereditary factor which shows up in a girl only when both parents are affected--while only one color blind parent is enough to pass this ailment along to a son.
