This year, even before youngsters take: to the sidewalks with their skates, members of McHenry's Dance, Figure and Speed Skating club are well in practice. Recently, they received an invitation to a' six-state roller skating competition event to be held at -Levonai, Mich., April 6 arid 7.

I Fertilizers and seed treating chemicals are moving from the manufacturers and warehouses on to farms across' the country in anticipation of spring planting. Early purchase of these planting needs usually means a cash saving to farmers, but "on the farm storage" poses safety problems. In many (cases large tonnages of fertilizers are stored in relatively small areas thereby exerting excessive strains on the supporting structures. To be on the safe side, store fertilizers at ground leveF with bags piled not more than five high. Limiting the height of the pile also eliminates excessive lifting which may cause hernias and spreading out the lfead over a larger storage area, fertilizers should be stored under dry. conditions. This not only prevents caking, but. makes sure water does not react with the fertilizer ingredients which might result in the formation of dangerous, corrosive gassjes and acids! . Certain nitrogen carries, such as sodium and ammonium nitrates, are classified as explosives and are fire hazards. These fertilizer will, when heated, release oxygen which increases the intensity of fire and spreads the flames. A few precautions can make the storage of nitrate fertilizers relatively safe. • "Exercise Care Store these fertilizers away fronv other combustible materials, preferably in a separate ' building away from other farm structures. Do not, under any circumstances, store them in a building which is in everyday use. Above all, remember to dispose immediately of all bags which contained, nitrate material. Never pile bags in or near a wooden building. Exercise care, when handling nitrate material. Wear gloves ' and avoid touching hands to your face. Ser-" ious burns can result. Treating Grain If you treat your own grain you will no doubt use one of a number of volatile mercury compounds. These materials are highly toxic, and, when used without adequate ventilation and dust control, can cause severe mercurial intoxication or poisoning. These seed treating compounds are also strong skin irritants and will cause itching, burning, and blistering on direct contact. Such irritations heal slowly. In order to prevent these health hazards it is necessary to keep all. exposed parts of the body covered when treating the grain.
