McCRORY Funning may not seem a hazardous occupation, but accident studies of farms and other occupational groups reveal a higher ratio of accidental deaths on the farm than elsewhere. In a recent year, fatal ae« idents in agriculture numbered 4.50ft r omnwred with 2,300 in manufacturing and 2,ww in construction activities. United States department of agriculture studies of farm accidents show one reason they are more serious is that the victim is likely to be working alone. . A factory worker caught in a lathe usually has a fellow workman nearby who can cut off the power. But a farmer caught in a power take-off of a tractor, attacked by a bull, or kicked by a horse, is likely to be alone. Farm machinery manufacturers are equipping more and more machinery with protective devices, and the safety of old models may be improved by having parts put on them. Among other causes found conducive to farm accidents are the need for haste in the rush seasons, which often means workiiig after dark or with makeshift repairs, and occasional attempts to use "homemade" electric wiring. A recent study in Kansas of fatal farm accidents showed that <on the average 29 per cent of the deaths were caused by machinery, 20 per cent by animals, 12 per cent by excessive heat, 8 per cent by vehicles, 9 per cent from falls, 5 per cent by lightning, and 17 per cent from Other causes. Most of the farm accidents could be avoided if the farmer is his own "safety inspector" in seeing that neither he nor his employees take chances. Present-Day Fanner Fixes Own Machinery The passing of the blacksmith shop in many farm communities has made it-necessary for farmers themselves to do much of the repair and maintenance work on their machinery. Many of them have sought practical instruction from their county agent or other workers in the federal and state 'extension service. Some communities have held machinery repair schools. Farmers in 30,000 communities last year sought assistance along this line and in the field of agricultural engineering. County agents report the subjects of most importance to farmers are those of machinery repair, irrigation, terracing, and farm building. Almost 80,000 farmers reported that they followed extension service recommendations in constructing new buildings, while 85,000 were assisted by county agents and engineers in planning repairs and remodeling. In co-operation with the bureau of agricultural engineering, the extension service has compiled building plans suitable to the Middle West and the Northeasts These plans are available through county agents. Similar publications are being prepared for the South and West. County extension agents gave information or assistance on installation of 8,800 sewage systems, 15,000 water systems, and 101,300 lighting systems, principally in farm homes. Work of this type is a part of the broad extension program to improve rural health and living conditions. 20-Y^ar Records Aid* In Study of Holsteins Twenty years of production records show many interesting trends in the Holstein- Friesian herd at the agricultural research center, Beltsville, Md. The records show that, on the average, larger cows produce more butterfat. There have been some notable exceptions in the herd, however. For example, one cow averaging only 1,255 pounds made a 715-pound butterfat record, and another cow weighing 1,546 pounds made only 454 pounds of butterfat. Study of the relation between age of parents and sex of their offspring gave no conclusive results, although where dams of all ages were mated to one sire there was some indication that the proportion of female progeny increased with the age of the dam., - d. - tr Put the greeting right in the picture--that makes the finest type of Christmas card. And do your cards early this yearl •T T TAVE you planned your photographic Christmas card yet? No true camera fan would consider any other kind --but it's wise to see that they are prepared early, in plenty of time for mailing before December 25. Any appropriate snapshot can he made into a Christmas card . . . but the best cards are those with a picture especially made for the purpose. For example, a snapshot of the family carrying CfaristmaB tree ornaments, hanging up stockings, or putting a Christmas wreath on the door. Such pictures can, of course, be taken, long before Christmas. The most ingenious pictures include the greeting. Thus, Johnny can be shown writing "Merry Christmas" on his own blackboard ... or on a frosty windowpane. The baby can. be shown building a greet- T" ing with his A-B-C blocks. Of course, you bulhi the greeting, then step, aside--but that doesn't show in the picture. Cards can be simple, or quite elaborate. The simplest type is an inexpensive cut-out mat or mask, behind which the snapshot is pasted. In another type, the picture and greeting are printed together on one sheet of photographic paper. "You. can do this with one of the Christmas card kits Bold at camera stores, or any photoflnisher can do it for you at modest cost. And---speaking of cost -- photographic cards run no higher than ordinary printed; or engraved greetings, but far less personal quality. Now is the time to start on your 1939 cards. Do it early--while you have plenty of time to do it well-- and it will be twice the fun. H John van Quilder Pink Eye in Cattle Pink eye in Cattle, which results jn serious loss in condition and jveight of the animal affected with this disease, is undoubtedly caused by a combination at factors. It is generally considered that pink eye is caused by pollen grain and dust Scratching the eyeballs, allowing iniective organisms to enter.

The gathering wasn't unusual, because Alice has visitors often. She encourages them, and the townsfolk like* to drop around and chat. A big, dark-haired woman with a ready smile, Alice--that's what all Disney calls her---is as well-liked as anyone in town. Aside from her * *• r i ' ( - • > * e-t »v. r.vnrrV.ln she operates a beer parlor and often serves foaming mugs herself to the workers on the $20,000,000 Grand River dam after hours. Alice is typical of the people who live in this hilly boom town that sprawls over a neck of iand bounded. on three sides by the Grand river. She works hard, bijt she doesn't neglect recreation. She has a firm conviction that the future of Disney is a prosperous one and enters readily itlto publicity schemes to further the town's progress. The whole town has entered into an amazing co-operation concerning "booster publicity." Election Was Slant. For instance, last year when the "Capers vs. Curfew" election caught the eyes of newspaper editors, the entire population of 800-- now 2,500--were "conspirators" in the scheme. Outwardly, the election was an above-board one between Billy Baker, advocate of all-night stomp dances "to let these dam workers have tjieir fling," and Vera Silar, who said the town should be closed at 9 p. m., "so the working men can get the sleep they should have." The Winner was to run the town aqd her platform was to decide Disney's' evening social schedule. Billy won. Alice defeated her in a re-election campaign. The entire affair was a stunt. It was hatched by the two men who have made Disney the lusty little place it is--C. D. Armstrong, Disney's founder, and Hap Haggard. Armstrong, the man behind the town, is an old-time "town booster." He staked out Borger, Texas, and cleaned up selling townsites there only to lose everything he had in oil. Disney is his comeback. Main street is bordered by unpainted, wooden structures. Part of the town is composed of rows of tent houses. Workers on the dam rent them for $3.50 a week. Small, rudely constructed houses are full, with renters paying up to $32.50 a month. 'Shoreline* Sites Sold. Where now extend wooded tracts on the edge of the town, the backwater from the mile and a quarter dam will form a lake. It will almost surround Disney. Armstrong has estimated the height of the reservoir water and the limit of the shoreline so that he .sells lots which now are on barren hillside with the assurance that .a year from now "you can fj£h from your front porch." 11 The town is ready for boisterous night life and has it aplenty. The beer tavern-dance halls far outnumber the groceries. The patronage is good. More than 2,200 men work on the dam and they like entertainment. A boxing arena has been built and occasionally a road show brings a movie or stage acts to town. Balky Motor as Excuse ~ Wins Release for Driver MOBILE, ALA.--Theodore Lane, Mobile motorist, had a balky automobile to thank for his discharge in traffic court. Lane, charged with failure to observe a stop sign, pleaded that he failed to stop "only because I was afraid the motor would die and I could not start it again." County Deputy Hobson Hargett confirmed Lane's testimony, adding that the deputy had to push the car a mile to get it started again. Judge Tisdale J. Touart discharged the defendant, but warned him to get his car in running order. Big Frog, So Story Says, Swallows an Opossum ATLANTA, GA.--Wallace Gray, local sportsman, tells, a yarn--and he swears it's true--that will top .many a tale related around cracker, barrels. "I was gigging frogs in a pond near Newman," he said, "and a friend and I brought in a great big frog. He seemed awfully heavy and lightly misshapen around the mid section. He had swallowed a smal1 opossum."
