Anderson, Morrow county extension agent, who adds that this week, July 20 to 26, is national farm safety week. Figures released by James Wiles of the state industrial acci dent commission's accident pre vention division indicates fatal and time-loss farm accidents are on the rise. Although the com mission's statistics cover ac counts only, figures indicate a 50 percent rise in farm accidents since 1945. For the calendar year 1951, ac cidents occurring in agriculture which were reported to the com mission totaled 2,252. Of these, 1,508 represented lost time claims, 649 involved no absence from work, 92 were occupational di sease, and three were fatalities. Wiles points out that the "work- man's compensation law" which is administered by the state ac cident commission numbers about one-fourth of the state's 59,000 farm families among its clients. Anderson says that farm safety is a matter of right attitude to a high degree. In discussing haste, he adds that short cuts or failure to stop long enough to correct a hazard may result in time loss, money, and health.' The county extension agent urges farmers to be open minded about safety suggestions. New machines and techniques mean new hazards, he says. National Safety council says that about 1,300,000 are injured in rural accidents annually. In Ore gon 18 percent of the accidents last year were attributed to "working surfaces." Vehicles were involved in 11 percent; hand tools in 10 percent; and machines and chemicals, 8 percent each. o HERE'S DOPE ON FISHING Fishing information will be presented each week from reports received by Andresen s Sporting Goods and the Gazette Times.
