Platisrwouth FFA Enters SSate Safety 'Contest' Members of the Plattsmouth Chapter have entered the state and district farm safety program according to Dorr Hansen, local FFA advisor, and Clem Woster agent for MFA Mutual Insur ance Company. The local chapter will win $100 if it places first in the state program, and $35 if it places first on the district level. The Future Farmers of America Foundation, Inc. Is making the state award and MFA Mutual Insurance Company is making the district awards. A $10 second place award and a $5 third place award are being offered to the chapter by Clem Woster local MFA Mutual agent. "The objective of the farm safety program in the local school," Hansen said, "is to make the students and people of the surrounding community more conscious of the need for safety in the school, on the high ways, on the farms and in the farm homes. Education of farm youth in the principles of ac cident prevention in the school, is one of the best methods of reducing farm accidents which claimed the lives of 40 farm people and injured thousands more in Nebraska last year." It is hoped that local farmers will welcome a chance to coop erate with FFA Chapter Mem bers as thy make safety in spections of farms in an attempt to locate danger areas and saf ety hazards on farms. p TAT He Per Lb.

H Hlx 2-Handcd Farmers Shut Off Pickers "Corn pickers ar" dumb. . . they can't te;i a hand i'-oin an ear of corn". So says Clem Wos ter, MFA Mutual audit, w!m explains that 1958's two-handcl farmers are the ones who shut their machines belure they try to unclog them. "A healthy re spect for corn pickers can save many hands and arms", savs Woster. Corn pickers are near the top of the list of hazardous farm machinery, he points out. but despite this well - known fact, there are at least a thousand maiming accidents during the peak season. Loss of time from corn picking accidents runs into weeks and even months. "Most accidents happen", Wos ter explains, "when the .snapping rollers in the pickers become clogged wtih waste. When the farmer tries to clear them by hand or with a stick, the snap pers whirl suddenly and pull him in. "The only safe way to clear a jammed corn picker," Woster says, "is to take a moment to turn the machine ompletcly off, unclog it, and then start it up again. A moment now may save a painful injury . . . and a lifetime of inconvenience." 4-H AND FFA HEREFORD CALF SALE Syracuse, Neb.
