Th farm safety theme "Man aue to Prevent Accidents" Is the uv trt msiUIno ncrleulture a Kaf er Industry. Only mining and construction have more acci dents per 100,000 workers than agriculture, in laof, ,w iarm iL.irifKN woro killed in farm ac cidents. This Is a rate of 71 deaths per 100,000 farm workers. Statistics gathered by the Vntlnna I Snfcfv Council show that each year nearly uuu per- enna in lillloH In tractor UDset accidents. An additional 5,000 norenns suffer miuries. many oi which are permanent disabilities. Pntoarfh h,'i Indicated that 3 out of 4 persons now killed In tractor upsets could have been saved If their tractors were imninnnrl u-lth nrntertlve frames or crush resistant cabs and safe ty belts. Fire prevention is also an im- nrtsnt n.irt nf farm safety. Each year farm fires cause the loss of 500 lives and $200 mil lion dollars in property damage. a row slmnle Dreventative measures will prevent many of he farm fires wnicn start eacn ear. These measures are: Keep buildings free of un- needed combustible material ind accumulations of chatt, traw and dust. Rirt the farmstead of dry weeds, brush and old lumber. Keep paint rags in metal containers. Store farm fuels 40 or more et from buildings. Keep small quantities of fuels in sturdy, well-marked metal containers. Burn rubbish at a safe dis tance from buildings ana otner combustibles, and only when the wind is calm. Check electrical systems ana make necessary repairs. Watch smoking in duiio- ngs. Check dally the temperature of newly stored hay. Place portable heaters away from anything that could catch fire. Place fire extinguishers In buildings, and on tractors, self propclleJ harvesting machinery and trucks.

Oregon Profits From Cautious Pesticide Use has fpw. if anv. Desti- r.Hf.fanspH nrnhlems. according to Dr. James M. Witt, Oregon State University extension agri cultural chemist. Hastening to point out that un discovered environmental dam- acra r-nnlfl PYlsf. Witt Said that Oregon has profited from a "cau tious pest-control program. Thprp la a difference between localized damage caused by ov er-application, and long-term ei fects, Witt said. He explained that nrcranip r hlnrinp-containine chemicals such as DDT and Di- eldrin were not developed until iQdd Thoco anrt nthpr "nersist- ent" chemicals can be taken in by small plants and animals and stored in tneir tissues. If these pesticides are not bro Unn Hnwn thpv can be Dassed to larger animals which feed up on the smaller organisms. Thus, the larger animals can, in cer tain cases, accumulate the pes ticides in amounts much higher than those which were applied to the environment, the exten sion specialist said. " Aff-nmiilation. and its DOSSi- ble effects on our wildlife and food animals is what we are concerned about," Witt said. Rpsnarrh conducted bv univer sities and various federal agen cies has not revealed health problems directly attributable to pesticide use, according to offic ial U. S. Department of Agricul ture sources. However, these same studies have found traces of pesticide in the tissues of most fish, birds, domestic animals, and humans. Conservationists and wildlife scientists suspect certain of the chemicals, principally DDT and Dieldrin, are at least partially responsible for a decline in num ber of certain types of wild fowl. Furthermore, over - application and careless disposal techniques have been proven to be a ser ious pollution problem. It Is for these reasons that the USDA is continuing to support pesticide research, the OSU sci entist said. Witt mentioned the three-day symposium on pesti cides and the environment, to be held August 18-20, and the recent grant of $68,853 from the U. S. Public Health Service as excellent examples of federal support of current OSU investigations. Call 384-2292. Condon.
