like to hunt them. If this
were not true, he says, they
would be much less patient
about how the animals feed
on their ci ops
Hunters fion* various parts
of Pennsylvania and adjoimn?
states spend nearly half a
million dojlais in Sullivan
County eveiv fall, Gamble
estimates Of this money, he
emphasizes, farmers receive
very little. Most of the money
•spent bv hunters goes to
motels, restaurants, and othei
places of business, he 'ha-,
found, and no good way has
yet been devised for farmers
to obtain a largei share of it
Hunting fees ranging from
W per day to ?3 per season
would yield only token returns.

for doer hunters may have re-
covered enough above expenses
to pay for crop losses, he
savs, but very little more.
Under Sullivan county con
ditions, where tiee growth is
relatively rapid, owners of
farm woodlots are not con
sciously following management
practices moie favorable to
deer than to timber, he thinks
As a matter of fact, he says
few practices of this kind are
known and much useful re-
search could be conducted
along this line. In Sullivan
county and similar areas, the
edges provided by fields supply
food and cover for deer. Ao
a result the Sullivan county
herd is nearly double what
it would be if the whole coun-
ty was a forest, he estim-
ates.

Farm Machines
Need Safety
Checks Often
Today’s farmer may use as
many as 35 different types of
machinery during the year.
“The increasing variety and
complexity ot machinery helps
get the job done faster and
easier than ever before, but
not necessarily more safely,’’
said Marvin J Nieol, the Na
tional Safety Council’s direc
tor of farm safety.
Nmol's comment came on the
eve of the 19th annual Na
tional Farm Safety Week, to
be observed July 22-28
Use Common Sense
According to a study in In
diana, one out of six non-fatal
farm accidents involves ma
chinery other than tractors
Tractors account foi about
45,000 non-fatal injuries each
year, and fatalities are on the
increase
“Despite vanance in ma
chines, common sense and ba
sic rules for safe handling ap
ply to all,” added Nicol “If
followed consistently, the need
less waste of human resources
can be drastically i educed”
The Council lists these re
minders
• Wear simple, close-fitting
work clothes
• Always turn oft machinery
before adjusting, uncloggtng or
servicing
• Always keep shields and
guards in place when operat
ing
• Refuel machinery only
when the motoi is off and has
cooled
• Take a short break every
few houis to forestall fatigue
