A series of recom mendations by its Research, Education, Transportation and Membership Com mittees were approved, as Accidents surveyed NEWARK, Del. - The University of Delaware Cooperative Extension Service, together with the Delaware Farm Bureau and the Delaware State Grange, is participating in a National Farm Accident Survey. The survey begins this month and continues for one year, according to Extension farm safety specialist, Ronald C. Jester. The survey has two goals: (1) to leam the frequency, severity, types and causes of accidental injuries among Delaware farmers and (2) to stimulate interest in developing a more intensive, result-oriented farm and health education program. Approximately 45 women from the Delaware Farm Bureau and Grange Women Committees will contact 10 percent of Delaware’s farmers. The initial contact will be simply to determine the type and size of farms. Later contacts will be to collect accident-related information. The study is expected to benefit Delaware in several areas, but primarily in that of accident reduction, explains Jester. If you are one of the farmers asked to participate in the survey, your cooperation will be appreciated. You will be helping Delaware farms become safer places to live and work.

Deadline December 28 Lancaster Fanning, Saturday. Dec. 18,1976 was the renewal of NEPP CO’s membership in the Council for Agricultural Science and Technology (CAST). Also, the Board endorsed the action of its Pension Committee in deciding to terminate NEPPCO’s Pension Plan as of Dec. 31,1976. Regulations and the resulting sharp in crease in the cost of ad ministration were cited as principal reasons for this action. Because of the impending retirement of Henry C. Schragger, Esq. who has been NEPPCO’s chief counsel for over 30 years, the Board named his firm, Schragger, Schragger & La vine, as its legal representatives and his son, Frederick J. Schragger, Esq. as chief counsel. Potato stocks up HARRISBURG, Pa. - Stocks of potatoes in Penn sylvania on December 1 were 4.5 million hun dredweight according to the Crop Reporting Service.
