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.
