Mrs. Nella T. Evans of the

National Farm Safety Week
July 25-31, 1948
Each year the President of
the United States officially
proclaims one week of each
year as National Farm Safety
Week. The goal of the Nation-
al Farm Safety Week in 1948
is the elimination of at least
30,000,000 farm hazards. This
goal can easily be reached if
every farm family accepts
responsibility for the elimin-
ation of at least one hazard
for every member of the fam-
ily.
Every consumer and every
organization interested in
farm life is affected directly
or indirectly by farm acci
dents, but the greatest loss is
to the farmers themselves.
Past records show during
the next 12 months that: One
out of every 18 farm resi-
dents will suffer a disabling
injury. One out of every four
farms will be the scene of a
disabling accident. Accidental
death will occur in one out of
every 230 farm families. A
disabling accident will occur
on some farm every 19 sec-
onds. Accidents will kill 51
farm residents every day.
Total cost of accidents involv-
ing farm people, including
fire, motor vehicle and pro-
perty damage will be $1,050,-
000,000 or $35 per farm resi
dent. What are some of the
hazards that should be check-
ed and eliminated? 1. Stairs
without handrail or in need of
repair. 2. Faulty mechanical
or electrical equipment. 3.
Unsafe ladders. 4. Defective
hand tools. 5. Rotten boards
or planks in porches or hay
lofts. 6. Worn ropes. 7. Un-
covered water tanks, cisterns
and wells. 8. Weeds, brush,
old lumber or other fire haz-
ards around buildings. 9. In-
correct electrical fuses. 10.
Any equipment not properly
guarded.
Scores of other hazards
could be listed but if Nation-
al Farm Safety Week is ob-
served by each farm resident
and safety practices are con-
tinued throughout the year
farm accidents can be cut to
a minimum in 1948.
The supervisors of the
Bastrop-Fayette Soil Conser-
vation District urge all farm-
ers of this area to stop, check
and correct all safety haz-
ards on their farms.
