Morrow County Will Have Smut
Nursery.

In order to more carefully check
upon the value of the different chemi-
calls for treating wheat for smut and
to try out some of the smut resistant
wheat, arrangements were made by
the County Agent with County As
SCISSOR J. J. Wells near Heppner for
small strip of summer fallow, where
numerous tests will be made during
this coming year. D. E. Stephens of
the Moro experiment station is fur
nishing number of varieties Of
smut-resisting wheat which have
been heavily smutted, which will also
be tried out in this nursery.
In addition to the valuable data
which should be obtained from these
plots many of the farmers will find it
worth while 10 visit them next spring
to get first-hand information.

FIRE PREVENTION
VS.. FIRE FIGHTING
This Country Behind Europe In Pre-
vention Of Fire, But Fire Fight
ing Efficiency Is Greater.

While the equipment and efficiency
Of fire departments on this side Of the
water is much superior to that of
European fire departments, the FIRE
loss per capita Is six times as great
here as it is in the principal countries
of Europe.
The reason Is that little attention is
paid here to the prevention of fire,
whereas abroad fire Is regarded as a
crime and steps are taken to fix re-
sponsibility for 1t whenever 1t occurs.
In Europe they are evidently not un-
der the delusion that insurance pays
all the loss, but realize that what is
consumed by the flames is gone for
ever, and can not be restored. Insur-
ance is but means Of distributing
the fire waste tax.
While the public here complains
about fire insurance rates, 1t does not
take the sure way4to get lower rates
by following the example of the coun-
tries Of Europe and enacting and en-
forcing measures for the prevention
of fire. The people prefer to pay the
losses of their neighbors caused by
earelessness, etc., rather than compel
their neighbors to build safely and
maintain their premises in clean
and orderly manner, SO as to reduce
the danger Of fire not only to their
own property but to the the property
of the entire community.
Little or no effort is made to fix
responsibility on those through whose
negligence fires are permitted to start.
In European countries responsibility
attaches for damage done to your
neighbor's property by fire originat-
ing on your own premises, and there
are, besides, penalties for fires aris-
ing through avoidable causes. Every
fire is Investigated.
The development Of fire depart
ments here has nearly all been along
the line Of fire fighting, while fire
prevention has been the study Of Eu-
rope. While their fire fighting ap-
paratus and efficiency Of personnel
do not compare with ours, they do not
have the fires to fight, and their fire
loss Is one-sixth ours.
1t has been aptly pointed out that
while we have been spending our time
devising new and more powerful types
Of apparatus, and also building wood

FARMER INTERESTED
Introduction Of Power Machinery
Has Made Agricultural One of
the Hazardous Pursuits.

In the Extension Service News of
the Oregon Agricultural College for
August the following article Of gen.
eral interest Is found and all further
information relative to the subject
can be obtained by correspondence
with the State Industrial Accident
Commission at Salem;
While in practically every state
having compensation laws agriculture
is excluded in one way or another
from the enumeration Of hazardous
employments," yet every authoritative
writer on the subject admits or as
serts that there Is no practical reason
for the exclusion. Carl Hookstadt, of
the United States Bureau Of Labor
Statistics, who has made an exhaust
i've study Of the compensation laws
and their history in this country and
in Europe, in referring to that phase
of the question, says:
"The reason for the almost univer-
sal exclusion of agriculture in the
United States can hardly lie In the
fact of its nonhasardous character.
European experience, combined With
available accident statistics in this
country, proves quite conclusively
that agriculture is highly hazard
GUS employment"
Many forms of effort on the farm
and in the orchard and garden which
were heretofor performed by hand
and with the aid Of horse power, are
today prosecuted with power-driven
machinery, thus multiplying the pos
abilities of accident, as well as in
creasing the serious nature of injuries
liable to occur.
There are many situations arising
in the employment Of farm labor
wherein a serious injury would be
painfully oppressive. The cases are
few and exceptional among farmers
wherein either the employer or the
workman could bear the financial loss
incident to bad accident without
serious inconvenience. The individual
farmer who hires few hands nearly
all the time and hires a greater num-
ber during certain seasons, could
easily be placed in very bad circum-
stances by an accident. Many farm
ers frequently call in few neighbors
to help in harvest, or threshing, or
hauling or wood cutting. Those neigh
bors may be In moderate circum-
stances, perhaps with families to sup
port. II one of them sustained Sc
we're injury he is entitled to make
claim for damages. II a neighbor he
does not wish to press such claim; the
employer recognizes duty on his
part to help the stricken man and his
family; hence, no matter what the
decision reached, there is suffering
and embarrassment.
If the farmer Is under the Compen-
sation Act all that is avoided. Thru
the small contributions made month
ly to the state fund the injured work
man Is taken care Of both as to medl-
cal attention and compensation for
time loss and all the disagreeable
complications and anxieties are re-
moved. There is no humiliation OF
hardship and the needed help is sup
piled at once. No moral, legal, OF
friendly responsibility remains un-
fulfilled. There is an independence
and self-preservation about 1t that
should commend the arrangement to
every thinking mind.
