Reduce Harvest Accidents
Careful handling of machinery
and equipment during the harvest
season is urged by John Haswell,
extension agricultural engineer of
Penn State, as a means of reduc-
ing the number of farm accidents
which annually cllimb to a high
rate at this season. He suggests
making a careful check on har-
vesting machinery before putting
it into service.
Rotenone Curbs Insects
Rotenone dust of one-half to
three-fourths percent strength is
recommended for control of Mexi-
can bean beetles and flea beetles
which have been reported aetive in
vegetable gardens. Liberal use of
hydrated lime, or commercial bait,
gives effective control of snails.

More people are living longer to
die eventually of heart disease.
This is especially true of coro-
nary thrombosis.
Formation of a blood clot in one
of the arteries that supply blood to
the heart muscle results in coro-
nary thrombosis.
When even a portion of the heart
muscle is deprived of blood for a
length of time, damage results.
The seriousness of the occur-
rence depends on the size and the
location of the branch blood vessel
obstructed by the clot.
Acute pain is present because
some part of the heart is deprived
of its necessary blood supply.
The older a patient when coro-
nary thrombosis strikes, the less
the chance for survival.
Factors unfavorable to recovery
in coronary thrombosis include ad-
vanced age, excessive weight and
previous attacks.
The individual most susceptible
to coronary thrombobsis is the
business man of executive type or |
the man engaged in business de-'
manding excessive individual ef-
fort.
Those who work hard and lead
irregular lives are especially vul-
nerable to this disease.
There are persons, too, whose
blood has a greater tendency to
clot than others.
Careful prolonged treatment of
the sufferer from coronary throm-
bosis is essential.
HUGE SUMS SPENT FOR
MINE SAFETY INTEREST
IN PAST TWENTY YEARS
More than 100 different safety
devices, machines and methods |
have been introduced into the coal |
mines in the past 20 years at a |
cost exceeding $100,000,000, which |
is credited by Bituminous Coal In-
stitute with reducing accidents by |
nearly one-half during this period.
A widespread change from the
use of black powder and dynamite
in blasting the coal loose from its
| seam to the use of permissible
modified explosives producing re-
| duced flames and reduced temper-
{atures is said to have diminished
one of the major hazards of min-
ing by more than 50 per cent,
Coal miners are the largest
peacetime users of explosives and |
some 180 different permissible |
| brands of a safety standard ap-
| proved by the Bureau of Mines are
used now.
