Farmers Urged To
Protect Against
Damage Suits

Farmers today run a greater
risB than ever before of getting in
volTed in a lawsuit for damages.
warns William H. Henderson,
county agent. He urges them to
give careful consideration to in
surance covering such risks and
avoid the chance of having their
farm holdings wiped out overnight
by lawsuit.
The courts apparently have be-
come more lenient in recent years
in granting damages, he points out.
Power machinery, trucks and autos
on farms have increased the like
lihood of accidents. And such in
nocent-Seeming valuable improve
ments as the ponds that are now
appearing on so many farms also
offer hazards in closely populated
areas.
But special comprehensive liza
biEty for farmers covering most of
these hazards is now available,
Henderson says. The premium you
have to pay depends on size of
farm, kind of policy and coverage
you want.
Here are some of the things for
which farmers have been held re-
sponsible i'm lawsuits, Henderson
says. Upkeep of buildings is one;
control of his livestock is another;
also the wholesomeness of the pro-
ducts he sells and work he has done
for him both on and off the farm.
A farmer also is personally LA
BILE for safeguarding visitors ON his
m--especially invited ones. But
he even has to be careful of the
rights of unlimited guests and tres
passers. He has to keep livestock
off the highways where they could
cause accidents, provide safeguards
for handling vicious animals, warn
a tenant of any hidden hazards ON
the farm, prevent fire from spread
ing from his property to q neigh
bors. give careful safety supervis-
ion to his employees, even watch
out for the safety of someone do
ing custom or contract work ON hls
farm.
All in all, says Henderson,
farmer these days has to be just
about as careful as an industrial
concern

Weekly Tree Talk
Trees Shedding Leaves, Twigs In
Summer Nav Be In Trouble

SUMMER may be In IF0uDle
Trees that shed numerous leaves
in the summer may be in trouble
Look for The cause.
A moderate leaf drop can be
expected when hot dry weather
comes. This is natures way of bal
ancing root and crown whe-l there
is not enough soil moisture to sup
ply ali leaves.
But when leaf fall is heavy, says
Don Cantwell, District Manager Of
the Bartlett Tree Expert Co., in
sects, diseases or serious physio-
logical troubles may be the cause.
Examine the fallen leaf. IF it is
discoiored or marred it may have
been shed because of black spot or
some other fungus disease. Leaf
feeding insects can cause leaves TO
drop, too.
Twig fall also causes anxiety.
Sometimes portions of twig or a
number of leaves rather than in
dividual leaves are shed. This oc-
ours during extremely dry periods
and is somewhat common with oaks
and poplars. Pronounced leaf drop
and twig fall may occur on Norway
Naples this summer after lush
spring growth.
Twig drop due to lack of mOis-
ture should not be confused with
the small branches cut off by the
maple and oak twig pruner, an in
sect which becomes abundant at
times in certain areas. This pro-
duces an unsightly condition al
though not TOO serious material
injury.
Excess leaf and twig fall results
iS loss of tree vigor. During dry
spells, water the trees well. Mulch
them where possible to conserve
soil moisture and prevent roots be-
ing baked" by the hot sun. Then
feed the trees. Feeding restores
vigor and better enables a tree to
withstand droughts.

an outlay of $27.8 million in the

expected to come up for House
action next week, is an item OF
$40 million toward the construc-
