Grain Bins Grain bins may appear to be "risk-free," but there are several potential hazards associated with these struc­ tures. One of the greatest dangers in grain bins is the risk of ac­ cidental suffocation. Grain may bridge during bin unloading. The bridge must be broken to get grain flowing again. All too often, an unsuspecting farmer will enter the bin with the unloader running and sink very quickly into the flowing grain. It takes only seconds for an individual to become com­ pletely submerged in the grain and suffocate. Spoiled grain or grain in poor condition gives off large amounts of dust. This causes problems for people who suffer from allergies or asthma. All farmers should wear a respirator when unloading a bin. Following are some other grain bin safety suggestions: -If grain bridges while unloading, use a long pole to break the bridge. -Do not enter a bin while the unloader auger is running. From the top grain may look normal, but it may be hiding a cavity. -Disconnect all power before entering a grain storage bin. -Use a lifeline and have another person present when entering a bin. -Install ladders inside grain bipj io provide an emergency exit. -If grain starts to move while you are in a bin, move away from the center and toward the outside walls. Keep moving to the exit ladder. Dairy Expo Coinciding with the World Dairy Expo in Madison, Wis., Curtiss Breeding at Elburn, is holding an open house.

Construction of an improved and expanded parking lot will entail the closing of sections of the present parking area and will severely restrict already overcrowded space around the hospital, according to Anthony Corcoran, executive director. "We have cleared the new area by cutting down trees and razing a building which separated the two parking sec t ions ," Corcoran an­ nounced. "This week we will begin to regrade and surface the area. During the time that this project takes, we ask our visitors and employees to bear with urf. We cannot ac­ commodate the qprnber of cars we ordinarily expect each day." Two municipal parking lots are within two blocks of the hospital, he pointed out. "Also, the McHenry high school authorities have been gracious in permitting hospital visitors the use of the East campus parking lot after 4 p.m. daily and Saturdays and Sundays, school activities permitting."
