Safety steps
Prevent Hits
By Lightning

ITO avoid being struck by
lightning is the best reason for
knowing enough to come in out
of the rain" says Wilson H.
Heaps, chairman of the Mary
and Farm Safety Committee.
Each year lightning takes the
ives of approximately 400 per
sons and Injuries more than 1000
others, most of whom are farm
residents, according to the rec
ords of the National Safety
Council. About five percent of
the nations fires are caused by
lightning, with loss of over 20
million dollars worth of farm
property.
Lightning tends to strike the
highest point in the vicinity,
which may be a barn, tree or
a man working in the field. Dur
ing electrical storms, seek pro.
lection in building or low spot
IN the field away from wire
fences, trees, livestock and ma.
chinery. In the home, keep
away from screen doors, fire.
places, open windows and metal
objects.

Final Corn
Disposal Date
Is Tomorrow

In a telegram received by Ches
ter S. Bradley, chairman of the
Maryland Agricultural Stabiliza-
ton and Conservation Committee,
Agriculture Secretary Benson has
extended the date for disposing
of corn under the acreage reserve
program of the Soil Bank Act to
tomorrow.
Some farmers did not under
stand the penalty provisions of
the acreage reserve regulation,
according to the telegram, and
therefore the final disposal date
had been extended. The original
closing date was August 3.
Corn on the designated acreage
must be disposed of by the end
of August or no payments will
be made, the telegram said. The
corn cannot be harvested nor can
the land in the reserve be grazed.
Harvesting of a crop from the re-
serve acreage in any manner will
be considered a violation of the
agreement, and no payments win
be made on this acreage.
In addition, producers will be
subject to a penalty of so percent
of the payment which would have
been made had the agreement
been fully complied with.
In another announcement by
Mr.. Bradley, regularly established
wheat farmers with a wheat acre
age allotment may participate in
the acreage reserve program for
1857 winter wheat. Producers re-
ceiving an allotment as a new
farm for 1857 wheat crop are
not eligible to participate this
year.
Agreements must be signed by
the farm operator and if he is a
share tenant, the agreement must
be signed by each person who as
owner or landlord has control of
the acreage reserve land or who
is to receive compensation under
the agreement.
As in the acreage reserve, farm
ers who exceed their allotments
under the conservation reserve
program will not be eligible for
payment. Mr. Bradley also en-
phasized that future wheat acre.
age allotments will not be reduc-
ed by taking part in the wheat
acreage reserve program.

in the past of Rufus Blair, the

lures. Mr.. Blair and his wife
were in San Francisco one New
Years Eve. They dined in their
hotel suite, then fell asleep.
About midnight they awoke to
face all the remnants of the
meal. Mr.. Blair called room serv-
ice for someone to get that stuff
out of there.
An hour later he was sitting
there in a high dudgeon amidst
the crockery. cutlery and other
dining miscellany. He picked
up the phone, dialed the rival
Ihostelry across the street and
got the manager.
I'm insane for being here, but
I'm across the street." he said
naming the hotel. MY problem
is that I can't get anybody to
come up and clear away the
dinner debris" He'd barely
huno I'm hefore fo,Ir walters
from across the street appeared.
They cleaned the place up
neatly, thanked Mr.. Blair for
the tips and went back to their
own hotel.
To this day the manager Of
the rival establishment hasn't
let up on the manager of the
hotel Mr.. Blair was in, about
that guest who had to call across
the street for service.
