pa — > ' James D. Hutchison County Agricultural Agent Prevent Farm Fires—This is Na- tional Fire prtvention Week, Farm- ‘ers are urged te clean up all fire hazards, check op. the grounding of lightning rods, ~and eliminate careless practices. Farm fires last year claimed 3,500 lives and des- troyed property worth $90,000,000. Fires are costly but most of them can be prevented. ™N. Protect Poultry Ranges— leavy . pasturing of the poultry range’ too late in the fall may seriously dam} age the grass and legumes for next year. Mature pullets should be ~ housed so that the flock is gradually reduced, and wear and tear on the * range diminished. Avoid Accidents—Corn pickers cause 10 per cent of all farm ac- cidents in Pennsylvania, and during the last three months of the year they cause one-fifth to one-third of all farm accidents for that period. Don’t .work around moving parts and be sure to use shields. Cool Milk Properly—To Maintain milk quality, hold the milk in in- sulated cooling tanks that are kept full of clean, pure, cold water. Air cooling is slow and promotes spoil- ing by bacteria. Start Erosion Control—With the planting of winter wheat, some fields can be laid out in strips on the contour. This will give a start on this important work and next spring other strips can be ‘started. Fumigate Grain—For control of Angoumois grain moth in wheat stored in granaries and bins, fumi- gate with carbon bisulphide say extension entomologists of the Pennsylvania State College. ~ Cut Cull Trees—Proper culling of the farm woodlot provides double . benefits. When the poor trees are removed, more space is kept for growth of straight, tall, thrifty trees. At the same time the cull wood can be converted into a cash crop. x Control Soil Erosion—Good soil management involves improving the soi] and holding it in place. Lime, fertilizer, and manure improve the fertility of the land, while contour strips will prevent erosion from Si carrying away the soil and its added fertility.
