by following the manufacturers
directions when treating seed.
Shaw also points out that failure
to have harvesting equipment
properly adjusted can cause an
excessive amount of cracked

THIS is FARM SAFETY WEEK
Rural people throughout Mont
ana, as well as the nation as a
whole, r being asged to take
part in the 18th annual National
Farm Safety Week which begins
Sunday, July %, and concludes
the following Saturday.
Sponsored by the National
Safety Council and the U. S.
Department. of Agriculture, the
weeks observance is designed to
focus attention of rural people on
the need for reducing the number
of farm accidents which claim
over 5000 lives each year, exclu-
Sive of highway fatalities.
Safety experts point out that
unlike industrial plants which
have people trained in safety
education, safety on the farm is
a family affair. In other words,
it is up to each Individual on the
farm to see that he follows safe
practices at work, in the home,
at play and on the highway.
This is why it is suggested that
during National Farm Safety
Week each farm family get to-
gether and talk over ways in
which the daily activities may be
performed in the safest manner.
Part Of the week might also be
well spent in checking the farm
for accident hazards.
But after all is said and done,
safety on the farm is not just a
one-week affair. Every week must
be a safety week on the farm if
the accident toll is to be reduced.
OUTDOOR COOKS
Barbecuing is one of the most
popular forms of outdoor fun.
For the best results for outside
eating, know your equipment as
well as your food.
Never use gas or kerosene as
a charcoal starter. Use the regular
charcoal starters that can be pur-
chased where you buy the char
coal. Gas may explode and
kerosene can ruin the taste of the
food being cooked.
To avoid having food stick to
the grill, grease the grill before
cooking. By turning the meat only
