American farmer out of every six
will suffer disabling injury this
year according to report from

Agricultural engineer, Ernest
Scarborough, with the University
of Delaware, says American farm
ers will spend about $40, 100000 ani
20,000,000 work days, on injuries
this year.
The accident rate among farm
ers is four times as high as amoni
factory workers. This is becaus
of the intensive safety program
carried out in industry, according
to Scarborough.

Council urges every farmer to car
ry out his own campaign against
accidents. It's cheaper and dOesn'i
| hurt at all.
