Fam Safely Week Stresses Need for Safely Checks
July 24 10 July 90 is National
 Farm Safety Week.

Contrary to many peoples be- lief, the farm offers more hazards than many occupations, James Wilson, Territorial commissioner of Agriculture pointed out this week. There are several reasons for this, he said.
 First, a farmer engages in greater variety of jobs than any profession. He is painter, carpen- ter, machinist, laborer- true "Jack-of-all-trades" He is often less inclined to takes the pre- cautions in scaffolding, for in stance, than a professional paint CT might, for he lacks the speci- al equipment that a full time ar tisan can afford. Often too, his equipment may be outmoded, overloaded or not fully adapted.
 The second reason for the in creased hazards in farm work is that farms are becoming more mechanical and specialized. Many insecticides and weed kill CTS are on the market, each with different precautions needed for safe use. The increased use of power tools adds to the lines of knowledge needed for safe oper- ation. The fact that most farms are electrified calls for a know ledge of handling electricity safe ly.
 Commissioner Wilson offered the following suggestions of pre- caution that can be observed to reduce accidents on farms:
