By J. B. RICHARDSON Safety on the farm is largely home-made. One of the reasons there are so many accidents on the farm is that farm families operate largely on their own responsibility. For city people at work or at home, there are numerous safety precau- tions, and someone to enforce them. Machinery should be listed as a top hazard in farm work, despite the many improvements made on machinery in recent years. The older hazards, such as unruly bulls and kicking horses, is next. Surveys show, however, that most ness such as haste, the use of make- shift repairs, by taking chances, by using machinery without guards, or with guards removed. Among the reasons why the farm is a fertile field for accidents are these: Much farm work is done by individuals at some distance from | others so that an accident may be utilized in perfecting the flood warn- | ings system was obtained by the riv- | er authority and PWA engineers dur- | ing the disastrous Colorado river | | floods of late in the summer of 1938, { when the torrent first went out of control in far western Texas, and several weeks later spent itself by | pouring into the Gulf of Mexico. Polarized Light Used In Engineering Tests Scientists are using shadows and rainbows to prevent train wrecks, floods and other disasters—by the strains on bridges, dams and other structures, according to Prof. M. S. Ketchum of the Case School of Ap- plied Sciences, Cleveland, Ohio. ing, ‘many engineers grossly over- estimated the strength of materials needed in certain parts of the struc- tures. They then were at a loss to explain why their work gave way occasionally with disastrous results.” Ketchum explained that engineers now make models of bridges of cel- luloid or other plastics, pldce weights on them, light through the semi-transparent model and observe the distortions manifested in the form of ‘rainbow shadows.” is that polarized light, which is aused by the passage of ordinary light through polaroid crystals vi- brates in one plane only. “If this polarized light now is it will cast a shadow similar But when a strain is tics, to a rainbow. distorted and the greatest distortion occurs when the ctrain ic greatest. Thus it is very to see where 2 bregk would occur and where more strength is required.” Ketchum tests models of ery, dams and other structures. The models of dams are made of gelatin—sometimes as muct pounds of the material being 1 to make one model dam, ane eas machin.

Sufficient space for storage is of vital importance in the plan- ern home. Medieval Castles In medieval times a feudal lord’s home literally was his castle. But more than a home in most cases was this castle. It was 4 fortress into the protection of which the feud- al lord and his retainers could with- draw to stand a sustained siege when beset by enemies. The term castle (from the old French and Anglo-Saxon castel) itself originally meant a circular mound of earth, flattened on top and surrounded by a ditch. summit was a palisade.

On the farm there are frequent changes in work and machinery used, which may mean unfamiliar- ity with equipment and less accu- racy of movement. Under the pres- sure of summer work, there are often long hours in the field, and chores done in a hurry after dark— both conducive to accidents. The suffering, the loss of time, and the actual cash cost of these accidents shows the need for avoid- It has been shown time and time again that the well- ordered farm, with well-ordered ac- tivities, is good insurance against accidents. But still, to a great extent the farmer must be his own safety en- gineer and almost entirely his own disciplinarian. Insect Traps on Plane Detect Spread of Pests By trapping insects high in the air entomologists are able to gather valuable new information on the habits, and particularly on the spread, of some of the destructive pests of farm crops. Inspection of the mixed catch of insects taken at a certain altitude is useful, for ex- ample, in indicating whether a cer- tain type of insect makes most of its advance by flight under its own power or goes a long distance at a time by soaring high and letting the prevailing wind carry it. P. A, Glick of the United States department of agriculture in sys- tematic airplane flights over Louisi- ana and Old Mexico, and covering all seasons of several years, collect- ed many of the important ‘and destructive crop pests. He reports captures of boll weevils at 2,000 feet, spotted cucumber beetles at 3,000 feet, and leaf-hoppers at altitudes up to 13,000 feet. Mosquitoes, com- mon in lower layers, also were | found as high as 5,000 feet. The | pink bollworm moth collected, | sometimes more than half a mile | above the surface, showed that it | can spread to our country by nat- | ural means. Some small wingless insects were frequent at very high altitudes; for example, springtails and silver fish at from 8,000 to 11,000 feet. The in insects were collected | traps specially designed for use on | airplanes and controlled from the cockpit or cabin. In practice it was | the rule to keep a trap section open for a certain number of minutes with the plane flying level at that TE altitude, then close the section and mount 500 or 1,000 feet and bag | another sample while holding that medium ghould be maintained be- | tween the Pullman kitchen and the | altitude.
