should line it with dry grass
and place the fish so they do not
touch each other.
Sometimes fish need to be
kept for several days without re
frigeration. The best way to do
this is to hang fish out at night
so they will cool dry and

If SCOTT LA Ml
Till wrek. July S5 .11. has
been designated as National
Farm Safity Week. Volunteer
committee across I he nation
lll I reminding! at:rU-ullt-ral
people to take a look at safety
iarturs on their farms.
It was lonx ai;o determined
that farm safety Is a state of
mind. Hurrying. Ion hours
without a break, faulty equip
ment all contribute to an
amartnit cost factor In the farm
in ir business.
While these Item will be
pointed up durlnir Farm Safety
Week, the big push will be put
on the new Slow Moving Ve
hicle symbol. Like all new
things, this uingular shaped red
and orange sign will take some
promotion to catch on. But In
the age of wlde oH-n ieeda on
the highways and side roads, the
new symbol can lnd-ed be a
iicsaer.
Accidents on highway Involv
ing slow moving farm machin
ery are almost Invariably caused
bv poor Judgment on the part
of driver approaching such
machinery. They do not realue
the difference In speed and be
fore applying the brakes. It is
too late. , ,
At the same time, highways
crossing farms make it more and
more necessary that farmers use
the highways for short distance
to reach their carved up fields.
The cause and effect adds up to
a whale of an Increase tn auto
farm machinery accidents. The
Slow-Moving Vehicle slpn could
alert drivers and eliminate
many of these traffic accidents.
The Governor's Committee on
Farm Safety Is working diligent
ly to help spread the word and
the signs to make thl safety
rmhlctn readilv recognizable to
1 .ii u m firu-o an tht hlchwav.
Farmer and rancher should
help. too. by displaying this
emblem on all machinery when
going down the roadway. This
is a good place to start carrying
out the theme of the HMS Farm
Safety Week: "Safe and Alive
