OF all Industrial Accidents As
Per Cent. Happen to
AeriCuIturiStS

NEW YORK, May 1.-THE exper-
ience Of several large manufactur-
ing plants in the prevention of indus
trial accidents and results Of research
that has been carried on in Germany
for the last twenty-five years has
been set forth for the benefit of the
members of the National Association
of Manufacturers, which is holding
its annual convention In the Waldorf
In large room adjoining the conven-
tion hall are displayed photographs of
safety devices, actually in use in
manufacturing plants. and charts
showing the industries particularly
subject TO these mishaps. the hours
of the day and the day of the week on
which most accidents occur, being
shown also.
II has been brought out by the Ger
man statistics that agriculture suffers
far more from accidents than any
other occupation. OF the total num-
ber of mishaps resulting in temporary
disability, As per cent occur In agri-
culture. each in iron and steel
trades and in building operations. and
IL per cent in mining. II is ex-
planned that Il Is natural that the ag-
ricultural laborer should be especial
ly subject to accident, for he has to
handle teams. machinery and ex-
plosives, and is too much Of jack-at-
all trades TO be skilled in any one
Modern methods also increase the
risk Of occupation, for Canadian rec-
ords show that the percentage Of
deaths increased steadily from IL per
cent I'm 1904 to 20 per. cent in 1909.
while in mining there had been much
fuctuation. but apparently no perma-
nent increase.
The large number of accidents on
Saturdays is generally explained by
the fatigue of the week telling on the
men, but II Is noted also that the
Monday accidents are about as nu-
merous. This gives rise to the sug-
gestion that the day of rest some
times Is not too wisely spent. other
charts show how the percentage in

get nothing out of 1t but the increased
income from the farm.
Enter Into a Contract.

'All hired labor. and all Of the equip
ment that must be added. in the way of
machinery or live stock, to bring about
the proper reorganization Of the farm, is
paid for by the owner Of the land. All
the Agricultural College puts into the
farm is expert advice. given by the
, travelling experts who visit the farm at
intervals Of from two to four weeks. A
contract Is drawn up between the farmer
and the experiment station. by which the
| Farmer agrees to operate his farm under
| the direction of station expert for at
least five years: and the experiment sta
| ton agrees to furnish expert advice as
to the management of the farm, and
keep records Of the farm operations.
without cost to the farmer.
The plan involves the following dis
| tinct and important features:
First. 1t Is strictly an educational
proosition. In which the Agricultural Col
lege not only tells what may be done, but
actually shows the farmer how he him
self can get the desired results from the
various enterprises undertaken.
Second. 1t provided for a balanced
farm business. The specialized farm
demonstration. instituted to encourage
better methods of corn-growing or live
stock production, is likely to throw undue
| emphasis on the particular me to be
demonstrated, to the detriment of 9TH
er equally important efforts on the farm.
Where the college assumes responsibility
for the financial success of the whole
| farm a balanced condition of the farm
business must be and Is retained.
Third. The third distinct advantage
is the close contact between the peo-
pie on the farms and the Agricultural
College. The experts. making frequent
| visits to the farm, can see it's prob
lens at first hand. and can throw the
facilities Of any department of the insti-
| tuition toward the solution OF any specific
problems that may arise. This creates
an admirable feeling between the farm
ers and the institution Is ready to take up
their problems: that 1t has advanced.
| and that 1t is ready to vOuch for the
success Of these ideas when applied to
actual farm conditions.
THE movement in minnesota is too
| new to have any very definite desults,
| said DR.. Wilson, none have been achiev-
ed so far as the whole OF any farm is
concerned, as time is required to reor-
ganize a farm and put 1t on the desired
basis. Results from the use OF better
seed. from better tillage Of the SOIL from
better care of the live stock for one
season. are. OF course. available: but the
real financial success Of the plan is yet
to be proved"
