Television Sets
On 4 Of 10 Farms
95 Per Cent Of
Farms Have Electricity
Four out of every 10 farms in
Pennsylvania have television sets,
according to the ‘Pennsylvania
Crop and Livestock Report,” pub-
lished by the State Department of
Agriculture.
It was compiled by the Pennsyl-
vania Crop Reporting Service with
the cooperation of the U. S. Depart-
ment of Agriculture.
From survey estimates made as
of February 1 of this year the pub-
lication declared 39 per cent of the
146,887 farms in Pennsylvania have
television sets, or approximately
57,000 farms.
In addition, 95 per cent of all
&3 per cent have running water, 64
per cent have bath rooms and 57
per cent have heating systems.
The main part of this annual re-
port of 40 pages contains pertinent
data by counties and for the State
on all major crops, livestock, poul-
try, eggs, milk, number of farms
and data at the State level on rank
come, prices received and paid by
farmers, farm wage rates, use of fer-
tilizer and lime, farm machinery and
equipment, and conveniences on
farms.
According to D. O. Boster, agricul-
Pennsylvania Crop Reporting Serv-
ice, the report includes data design-
ed to show areas of production,
quantities produced, value of pro-
duction, prices and other related
subject matter on selected commodi-
ties.
He expressed appreciation to the
thousands of voluntary crop and
livestock reporters throughout the
State, business firms, processors,
State and Federal agencies, and
other handlers of agricultural pro-
ducts for supplying the basic in-
formation required for publication
of the report.

Ida Lupino, Judy Holliday and
Kitty Carlisle, actresses, have all
been victims of polio—now re-
covered.
‘What this country needs are
handrails around the house.
More people die from falls mostly
in and about the home than from
any other cause except automobile
accidents.
Accidental falls cause death at
every period of life although the
highest death rates by far are re-
corded at the older ages.
A total of about 21,000 persons
are killed every year in accidental
falls.
While two-thirds of all fatal falls
occur in and about the home, the
balance takes place in public build-
ings and on streets and highways.
Comparatively few deaths from
mines and quarries, largely due to
intensive safety programs institu-
ted in recent years.
The type of falls causing death
changes from one age period to an-
other.
Among preschool children, falls
out of windows and from porches
are the common type of falls.
Falling from roofs, swings, trees,
and fences causes more deaths
among the school-age children.
Death from falls on stairs and
steps, while at a minimum under
the age of 25, increases with ad-
vanced age.
Many falls in the home are due
to objects left lying about, slippery
surfaces, worn or loose floor cov-
erings,
Among the elderly, many falls
occur while merely walking about,
due usually to physical weakness
and impairment.
Icy, greasy or broken pavements
cause fatal falls, especially among
those in the later years.
Handrails on stairs, sufficient illu-
mination, clear passageways, and
non-sliding rugs or carpets can
prevent many fatal falls.
We need safety campaigns in our
own homes.
