Hazard to Safety.
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- |

{ 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,

Thus it is very to see where 2

Ketchum tests models of

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.

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.
