Star Carriers Meet In Rappahannock With 34 Star Mail Carriers present, the first of smaller district meetings was held Sunday in the Courthouse in Rappahannock. Coming from as far away as Covington and Petersburg, these carriers may have marked history in this first meeting of its kind ever held in the state. Previously, Star Carriers have held a statewide meeting and sent delegates to v the national convention, but this year, 1 through the efforts of J. E. Ellmore, smaller district meetings are being held. The purpose of the organization of Star Carriers is two-fold: to see that Star Carriers, maintain a high character in membership, and improve the conditions of working for the members. In response to the suggestion made by J. E. Ellmore, a Star carrier in Rappahannock County, this meeting % was marked with approval by the attendance of the national and state presidents, as well as other officers of the central organization. Frank > Russell of Oregon, president of the national convention, was present; as was F. A. Bristow of Richmond, state president; and W. L. Lunsford of Staunton, secretary and treasurer. Mr. Russell, national president, spoke to the group, reporting of the progress of the organization, the number of membership, and the fact that a new building had recently been purchased in Washington, D. C., for $70,000 to house the offices. He emphasized the duty of each Star Carrier to maintain the high standards of service and to mark the group as one of integrity. Another report to the group told of the advances made in making working conditions better for the carriers, with regulations for mail boxes to be placed conveniently, and other such helpful aids. Joe Jenkins was among the six new members enrolled in the organization at this meeting. One visiting speaker told that there were 11,600 mail routes in the United States, but only 7,400 carriers were members of the organization. At the national convention held in Montgomery, Alabama, in August there were 134 delegates from the states; three from Virginia, of which J. E. Ellmore was one. The first star mail route was in 1885 on a stage coach. At the national convention, a large cake, bearing an iced stage coach, was served commemorating the first star mail route. J • l ni capusi Luurcfi Begins Parsonage Fund The members of the Amissville Baptist Church realizing the need of a parsonage have begun plans for the building of such. Since funds will be needed, one Sunday each quarter will be designated as “Parsonage Fund Day.” A goal of $1,000 has been set for November 2 which will be the first “Fund Day.” The committee is '•j working hard to contact each and every member to explain to them the plan and to give them an opportunity ot contribute. They hope to reach or even exceed the goal by each doing his part. In connection with this drive a Thanksgiving dinner will be served at the Amissville Baptist Youth Center with a bazaar being held there at the same time. All proceeds from which will go into the parsonage fund. Any donations of articles for the bazaar -or food for the dinner will be greatly appreciated. WS.C.S. MEETING The W.S.C.S. of the Washington Methodist Church met Friday, October 17, at 7:30 p.m. with Mrs. J. S. Weaver. There, were 16 members and 2 visitors, Mrs. Lena Ws^land and Miss Julia Mae Atkins, present. Mrs. Jessie Rowzie was program leader with'other members 4» taking part. After the meeting, refreshments were served by the hostttli ' - i Feeder Calf Prices Drop 33.8 Per Cent The 804 feeder calves sold by the Rappahannock Angus Breeders Ass’n. at their 13th Annual Sale held at Front Royal Livestock Market on October 14, brought $63.97 less a head than in 1951, (13.81 less per pound weight) even though the quality was higher than a year ago. The sale average was $30.‘21 per cwt and compares favorably with reports from other 1952 sales. Production costs are believed to be higher than a year ago. Calves averaged 13 lbs. lighter per head than in 1951. Although all Virginia sales have not been held as yet it is believed the Rappahannock Angus breeders will again top the state in quality. The official grading by the State Division of Markets shows that 96% of the calves graded feood or better with 76% grading Fancy and Choice. Last year the offering graded 90% Fancy, Choice and Good. If my belief hold^ frue for this year’s rating, Rappahannock , hasn’t been equaled, much less surpassed, in the quality of her feeder calves by a single feeder calf sale of the twenty odd held annually m the state for the past seven years. There were five consignors whose ‘calves graded 100% Fancy and Choice: John S. Browning, W. C. Campbell, R. M. Menefee, Leon Greenaway, and W. H. Lyne. Contrary to previous years buyers had much less dollar value regard for grade. Last year buyers paid around $5 per cwt. difference between grade regardless of sex while this year the difference was quite variable eg: Fancy Steers brought but 53c per cwt more than choice, choice $2.61 more than Good, Good $1.27 more than medium; Heifers: Fancy brought $2.39 more than Choice, Choice 76c more than good and Good only 47; more \than mediums. Steers averaged $31.74 per cwt and heifers $27.28. A preliminary report of the Winchester sale shows the following totals and averages: 3205 head, 438 lbs. $401,965.30, Average price $28-25 Average per head $123.68 49.6% Fancy and Choice. Rappahannock Farmers Buy Ten Rappahannock farmers purchased a total of 175 head of which all were heifers excepting one lot. These local buyers were Earl B. Combs, L. W. Buckley, John S. Davis Elgin Groseclose, Ralph Ingersol, B. C. Jackson, L. L. Viogt, E. A. Willis, W. C. Williams and James E. Yates. Calves Go To Six States - Forty-one buyers from the following six states made purchases and are listed in order of the quantity purchased : Virginia, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Michigan, New York and Delaware. Eugene B. Roberts of Maryland purchased the. largest number of calves - 71 head. One of the most satisfying features of the sale was 16 of the 41 buyers were repeat customers! Calves, were consigned by 31 different breeders who delivered from a low of three head to a high of 162. crowd Enjoys Baroque At ‘The Lake” Friday One of the largest crowds of the season was present at The Lake, Washington, Friday night when Gibson Wharton was host. Preparations began early in the day in order to have the pig barbequed and ready for the guests at night. With near-perfect weather, jhfc weekly dances at The ilake during the fall have furnished entertainment for many. After the cold snap Sunday night, decisions as to whether the dances will be held again this fall depend upon the weather. CHURCH NOTICES Regular services will be held at the Washington Methodist Church Sunday, October 26 at 11 a.m. The Rev. S. C. Stickley will be guest minister. Mayor Dorothy Davis Heads Democratic Women Voters Mrs. Dorothy C. Davis, Mayor of Washington, recently appointed by the local chairmon as Democratic vice-chairman, has announced a Rappahannock County Campaign Committee with the purpose to “bring-out-the-vote” in the coming election. City papers carried announcements that Mayor Davis would campaign on a state-wide basis, but she states that her knowledge was like the “news of an errant husband—the wife is always last to know,” and she had read in the papers of the announcement by the women’s campaign headquarters. Up to now, the news she has read is the extent of her knowledge concerning any campaigning outside the county. The county committee is named as: Hampton district, Mrs. W. A. .Miller, iMrs. Alfred M. Hickman, Mrs. George Wood, and Mrs. Carson Anderson; Piedmont district, Mrs. Randolph Devers, Mrs. Virginia Lewis, and Mrs. Clinton Clater; Wakefield district, Mrs. Frank Carey; Jackson district, Mrs. A.

Have you ever noticed how different your home looks when you return after a short trip? You see it somewhat the same way as a visitor. You need this objective view. point in planning a new color scheme or improving your present one. To analyze your color scheme avoid thinking of specific objects (red lamp, two green chairs) but study the room for general color effect. Think of walls, floor, furniture, draperies only in terms of color, the amounts and distribution of colors. Avoid using too many colore in one room. Include a light medium and drak shade in each scheme. Vary the proportions of colors used, distribute color in the locations where it seems pleasing to you. An excellent way to select your S.C.A.

The various schools reported 100% SCA organizations witfcNp their respective schools, and ""some very worthwhile objectives were reported as the SCA goal of individual schools. Dues were paid up 100%. for the 1952-53 session. Banner requirements were discussed for the individual school and the county. Each delegate was asked to consult “The Virginia Bulletin Yearbook,” (July, 1951-June, 1952) to find out if his school is listed. Attention was called to the date of the March Council meeting to be held at Sperryville as well as the Warren - Rappahannock Division meeting to be held in Front Royal, probably in early April. The division meeting was held in Sperryville last year. Article II, Section 1 of our constitution was amended to read as follows: “The officers shall be a president, a vice president, a secretary and a treasurer, who shall be elected annually by the SCA council at their March meeting and who shall take office at the beginning of the following school session. The president , shall not come from the same school in two succeeding years.” (Every school has a copy of our constitution. Please amend this article on your copy — Schools). I he following objectives were either continued or set up: 1. An earnest effort put forth by each member to become familiar with the aims, purposes, creed, songs, etc, of SCA. 2. To be good leaders and good followers and thus good citizens in living up to the aims, purposes, creed, constitution, etc, of our organization. 3. To do our part in each school to meet the requirements for a banner organization, and a banner county and to send a report on our organization to the Richmond office each spring. 4. That every SCA member throughout the • county make a special effort to respect the rights and property of others, especially school property. Also, I would urge each SCA member to read and consider the 1952-53 SCA State, objectives as set up in the October, 1952 issue of “The Virginia Bulletin” which came out this week. —Signed, Annie A. Cooke, County Chairman. color scheme is to collect colored scraps, (from magazines, color cards, ribbons).' Then study the setting of your room and with aid of some color charts you will have a new color scheme for your own living room, bedroom, or other room.

Rappahannock News Published Thursday Morning at Washington, Rappahannock f County, Virginia Dial Washington 2851 LUCY CATHERINE BOWIE Publisher Entered as second-class mail matter at th9 post office at Washington, Virginia. : __$2.00 a year Subscription Intellectual Germ WarfareThe Illusion of Something - For Nothing - About 100 years ago a famous liberal French politician and writer, Alexis de Tocqueville visited America and wrote a book about the people he learned to know so well. Among other optimistic things he said concerning our infant nation was: “I sought for the greatness and genius of America in her commodious harbors and her ample rivers, and it was not there; in her fertile fields and boundless praries, and it was not there; in her rich mings and her vast world commerce, and it wTas not .there. Not until I went to the churches of America and heard her pulpits aflame with righeousness did I understand the secret of her genius and power. America is great because she is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, America will cease to be great.” We now come to our subject; “Intellectual Germ Warfare—The Illusion of Something for Nothing.” This germ is a weapon against freedom, nourished by freedom itself—the freedom of speech. With this germ socialist Russia has conquered entire nations from within by weakening and corrupting the personal integrity and morality of their peoples, by blaming the inevitable hardships of mortal existence on the “propertied classes.” With this germ in England, where low productivity had brought low living standards, the Fabian socialists took over, first the British Liberal Party, then the Labor Party, and then the Government itself. And even in America where the conquest of poverty has been almost completed, the germ is being used, not by foreign agents or domestic socialists, but by power-seeking individuals, many of whom do not even know the dangers involved. Promises of something for nothing have been implanted into the minds of school children, farmers, labor unions, and almost every minority group. This poison effects the mind, corrupts honesty, implants a hate complex that is nourished on the illusion that the “privileged class” ' has vast \ \ _Vi\t w°* \ \ HJ#cXS%£r secret" \ \"S3f&? °s \ \ W^lS \ \ ■*$0!^ \ * —^nT'T. *** \ sct^£°ca^01< \ GAS* — 5 nRUl*S \ «D\ST^J!*»*°'ot) reserves of property that it did not earn and does not need. This creates another illusion, namely, that the citizens as a whole have a moral obligation to rob the “rich” and equalize property holdings. The Commandment, “Thou shalt not steal,” is thereby abolished and stealing can actually be made to appear a Christian duty. Yet it is actually against the laws of the United States for anyone to even try to prevent this intellectual pollution. Against its potentially fatal effects America has but one antidote: the Christian decency and the moral strength of its citizens. This situation gives new meaning to deTocqueville's warning: “If America ever ceases to be good, America will cease to be great.” In order to resist the pleasant plausible, poisonous promise of something for nothing, it is not necessary that the people have a great fund of education in economics and political science. Some of our most highly educated people are the most highly confused. Common sense is enough to convince most honest persons that the way to get things is to produce things and that the accumulation and protection of productive private property is the only avenue to high production. It is unlikely that the moral fibier of America will succumb to this intellectual germ warfare, but the terrifying effects of the disease should be so plain to everyone that everybody should make it his business to sound the warning wherever it may.be needed. GARDEN CLUB MEETS The Rappahannock Garden Club will meet on Wednesday, October 29 at the home of Mrs. C. R. Hite. This is expected to be a most interesting meeting, as Miss Dolly Hite will give a lecture on her European trip. Exhibit will be a mass arrangement of mums with other foliage permitted.

It is my right to be' uncommon—if I can. I seek opportunity— not security. I do not wish to be a kept citizen, humbled and dulled by having the state look after me. I want to take the calculated risk; to dream and to build, to fail and to succeed. I refuse to barter incentive for a dole. I prefer the challenges of life to the guaranteed existence; the thrill of fulfilment to the stale calm of utopia. I will not trade freedom for. beneficence nor my dignity for a handout. I will never cower before any master nor bend to any threat. It is my heritage to stand erect, proud and unafraid; to think and act for myself, enjoy the benefit of my creations and to face the world boldly and say, this I have done. All this is what it means to be an American. —Dean Alfrange : I : the Walras said . . . I There are a couple of newcomers to the county down near Woodville. I’ve a sneaking notion they are going to do all right. They comment (with straight faces) that they came from Hicksville to Woodville and haven’t discovered yet whether the move was up or down. They admit that they have a lot to learn, the first item of which was that when a workman promises that he will be to work bright and early in the morning, you expect him when you see him—and not one minute before. They state that they are recovering from being disappointed when work is not completed on schedule. Something tells me that their sense of humor (if it survives) is going to make them fit well in Rappahannock. Th classified ads in any paper are nearly always good reading. A recent one read thus: “Lost and Found — Will the party who picked up the black cocker puppy Saturday on Wendell Road either return him or come back and get the three-year-old boy he belongs to?” Two elderly ladies rented a summer home, sight unseen, and were dismayed by its isolation. After a few frightened nights, they paid the old man who did odd jobs to sleep in a shed near their door every night. The next summer they took the place again and proceeded to look up the old man. At his cottage they found a sign posted: “Wood supplied, odd jobs done. Narvus wimmen slept with.” o o o o o e Pitts Park THEATRE Front Royal, Virginia WED. through SATURDAY OCTOBER 22 23 - 24 - 25 CECIL B. DEMILLE’S “The GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH” SUN. - MON. - TUES.

We, who are accustomed to the fact the mountains are never the same twice and always aweinspiring, are glad to kno^y that others have a chance to enjoy the beauty. o o o ^ » A friend along the highway (no use telling names and tales both) gave out with some sass the other day.. “What’s that you’re building?” was the query. “I’m puttting in a new gas pump for Stevenson voters,” quoth he. A little wary I became, knowing that he had been an avid and livjd Ike-man, even before the general was nominated. “Come, now,” I paried, “surely you’d not raise the price just for us Democrats.” “Nope,*' came his reply. “On election day I’w gonna fill this one full of kerosene and keep the Stevenson votes from reaching the polls." “That’s a dirty trick!” “No dirtier than a lot of ’em that have been pulled lately.” All joking aside, the gentleman of the story is one of the few in the county with iwhom one can still enjoy a joke and know he won’t get fighting mad. o o o Political discussions are really getting torrid, but Rappahannock doesn’t seem to have an exclusive on the temper. A tourist entered an eating establishment along the road the other day, and, pleased with the service and food, went to the proprietor to tell him so. After complimenting the place of business, for which the proprietor thanked him, the tourist asked “Aro you a native?” “No," replied the proprietor of the inn, “I’m from Illinois.” “Well, well!” said the guest, (See WALRtJS, page 3.)

Appert Birthday Being Celebrated Canners and canned foods fanciers will celebrate October 23 as the 200th anniversary of the birth of the man who made canning possible. It was October 23, 1752, that Nicolas Appert was born in the village of Chalons-sur-Mame, France. His origins were humble and he was selfeducated. He was an obscure candymaker, brewer, distiller and baker when the French government in 1795 offered' a 12,000-franc reward to the citizen who would find a method of preserving perishable foods so that thev would keep indefinitely. Prance was fighting most of Europe at the time; her soldiers and sailors were dying of scurvy and malnutrition, which also made inroads on the civilian population,..■** Appert had the theory that if fresh foods were put into an airtight container and heat aplied, they would keep. He devoted 14 long and arduous years of experimentation and finally won the prize, proffered at the hands of Emporor Napoleon i 1809. A grateful nation named him “Bieffaiteur de L’Humanite” (Benefactor of Humanity). This is echoed in the latest edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica, which states: “The method of preserving food in tins or other containers is probably defensible as the greatest of all inventions in historic times. Its effect has been to relieve mankind of dependence upon the annual harvest, or upon the ▼ James Bryant Conducts Services At Baptist Church James R, Bryant of Richmond conducted the regular morning services at the Washington Baptist Church, Sunday morning.

Washington, Virginia 10-2-4c The New E Bond Never before was it more important for the farmer to have the security of a backlog of financial reserve with which to meet unforeseen development and emergencies. Such a reserve may prevent financial embarrassment or even disaster. In this age of mechanized farming, it also serves to cover the depreciation of valuable machinery and equipment. , Your financial reserve must have certain qualities: the principal must be safe beyond question: it should bear a good rate of interest that will cause it to grow and increase from year to year; it must be immediately available when you need it. All these, the Series E Defense Bond has in generous measure. And now we have a new E Bond that is better than ever. It matures in 9 years 8 months. If held to maturity it bears 3% compound interest. If you^have to use it prior to maturity, j/ou will get1 a much better interest rate in the early years than was the case in the old benes B Bond. j^lso, remember the Series E. Bonds you now hold have been extended after the maturity date for a second ten years without requiring any action on your part. As an illustration, the E Bond purchased ten years ago for $75 is now w'orth $100. If the bond is held a second ten years, it - will be worth $134.68. We earnestly suggest that you give serious thought to the idea of protecting your family and your business by putting a part of this year’s income in U. S. Defense Bonds. No man was ever sorry he saved. J. Rodes Brown, Jr., chairman, Rappahannock County Savings Bonds Committee & Cash, Rappahannock National Bank, Washington, Va. John S.

Electric Power Cost Decreases in Last Decade Consumer cost of electric power in Rappahannock has decreased during the past ten years, while the cost of living has skyrocketed, it was reported this week by President R. Paul Smith of the Potomac Edison System, of which the Northefn Virginia Power Company is a part. This decreasing consumer electric utility dollar has been maintained, he said, while the Potomac Edison System has been embarking upon an expansion program to meet the demands of its customers here and in other communities and rural areas in its service area. This expansion program, he pointed out, has been a factor in giving more value for each consumer electric dollar. Mr. Smith said that his company’s average rate to residential users of electric power in 1942 was 4.42 cents, and this year it is 3.11 cents, rep- * resenting a decrease of approximately 30 per cent. Over the same ten year period, the PE president said, the cost of living has increased by 67 per cent, according to the June 15 index of the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. *lrhe Potomac Edison System, from the end of World War II to the end of 1952, will have spent over $47,000,000 nearly doubling its generating capacity—154,000 kilowatts to 294,000 kilowatts—and improving its transcission and distribution facilities.

THE good condition of the floors in your home is the first indication of careful housekeeping. People invariably look to the floor when entering a house, and when the house .is yours, you'll want to be pleased with what they see. The formula for floor-appeal is just this: soap, water, wax, elbow grease and a few pretty rugs. SHINE ’EM UP To keep wood floors look* ing their level best be* tween washings, simply use a dry mon to remove dust particles. Be sure that the mop is oil-free if your floors are .waxed, for oil softens wax. When the woodwork is ready for a washing, use cold water and dry immediately. An occasional light waxing adds to the floor’s appearance. If you’re doing a large scale beautifying job, however, you may want to apply an oil finish instead. An equal mixture of raw linseed oil and turpentine. when rubbed into the wood, brings out the beauty of open grained woods such as oak or chestnut. If yoa have light, close grained wood floors, use lemon or ceaar on to prevent darkening. As for painted floors, keep them in good condition by washing with a mild soap and water. Add a few drops of ammonia to the water if the woodwork is greasy. A light waxing, or1 a light application of linseed or furniture oil will give a nice shine. « PRETTY ’EM UP > " i After all your washing and waxing, you’ll want your floors to he enhanced by attractive rugs. Cotton throw rugs are pretty and most practical and you can make them yourself. They can be laundered eaS.ly with a mild soap and lukewarm water. If hot water1 and strong soap are used, the rug is apt to become fuzzy. Be sure to dry your rugs flat. v MAKE YOUR OWN RUG The floors of your home will be your pride and joy especially when you crochet y®ur own rugs. Here’s a simple and lovely crocheted rug design which you will enjoy making. The daisy motifs are made separately and sewn together, on the wrong side, when you’ve finished ciocheting.

Vegetable gardening specialists at VPI say a consistent cause of failure of home gardens is the shortage of organic materials in the soil. The organic material also increases the water holding capacity of the ‘soil, and helps make plant food available for the vegetables. If seeded before a killing frost, use one part Italian rye grass and three parts of crimson clover. After a killing frost, use winter oats, barley, or wheat.' If the cover crop is not seeded until late October or early November, use Abruzzi rye. Seed * thick for best results. Another good • source or organic matter is manure. There are othe^ timely thoughts to remember this fall. The location of the home garden is important. It should be fairly close to the house, and it should be well-drained. If you need to move your garden, now is a good time to do it. Ihe shape of the shape is rectangular, with the rows running the long way. If the garden is on a slope, the rows should run across the slope. Williamsburg Alfalfa Seed Available for ‘53 Seed for the long-waited Williamsburg alfalfa will be generally available for planting in Virginia next season. Developed at the Williamsburg branch of VP1 Agricultural Experiment Station when it was still in operation, the alfalfa has averaged 5 to 20 percent .yields above those of its parent, Kansas Common. It has outyielded all varieties entered in tests in eastern and southern Piedmont Virginia, and has equaled all varieties elsewhere. Outstanding among its advantages Is the ability to recover quickly after cutting, and to maintain a good stand. Dr. T. J. Smith, plant breeder at the Station, and W. W. Lewis, VPI Extension Service agronomist, say Williamsburg normally shows its greatest increase in yield over other varieties after the firsts year. It apparently is more resistant to some diseases than other varieties. Williamsburg alfalfa has been seeded in demonstration plots in some 45 counties since its development and has l>een a consistently high yielder. It is recommended for planting throughout Virginia, and can lie expected to do particularly well east of the Blue Ridge. Seed for Williamsburg alfalfa is coming from Kansas and California this year. Dr. Smith ^plains that “almost never does Virginia have a satisfaefbry season for alfalfa seed production.” It was because of this that it was necessary to produce the seed elsewhere.

B. Fenne, pathologists at VPI, who has just completed a study of results of chemical seed treatment in other states, says “so far as our state is concerned, we will recommend treatment of grass seed and also legume seed, if proper precautions are taken in regard to inoculation." Other states vote both yea and nay, with many undecided, but Fenne’s stand is that “it doesn’t cost much, it does no harm, and it may do a lot of good.” The cost is usually around one cent per pound. - .. Purpose of chemical treatment is to protect seed against certain organisms which cause seed rot, seedling blight, and damping off. Good seed treatment, Feene says, substantially improves the chances of survival for each seedling. As a result, there should be fewer failures,to get a ^®od stand of grasses or legumes and fewer irregular stands. ~ The benefits of seed treatment depend to a great extent on how thoroughly the fungicides are applied. Most farmers lack the necessary equipment. On the other hand, agencies such as elevators and seed houses, that handle large amounts of seed are usually equipped with the necessary machinery. Fenne notes some startling yield increases in experimental plots where seed was treated, but also some cases where treatment apparently made little difference. However, “in general, where the seed is infected with seed-borne diseases, or damaged by mechanical injury and planted under adverse growing conditions, seed treatment will prove beneficial,” he concludes. Delay Breeding After Calving Delay breeding dairy cows until at least 60 days after calving. - Keith Huston, associate dairy husbandman at VPI, says research has clearly indicated that the best conception rate is obtained in dairy cows bred at least 60 days after calving. He explains that the cow’s reproductive organs need about two months td recover from the strain trf carrying a calf. When not given enough time to recover, cows often cannot maintain a pregnancy. As a result the cows come back in heat again. "j Also included on the chart is a list of times to breed for fall freshening, a gestation table for various breeds, and an explanation of the signs of heat. * Lowest temperature ever recorded in the United States wag 66 degrees below zero at Yellowstone Park, February 9, 1933. first sent to Utah in f947, where rabbits ruined th< first seed crop; then to. Kansas in 1949, where for two years there was a seed failure. The seed coming from California this year was produced on 136 acres of irrigated land which is just now being brought into cultivation. Operate Corn Picker For Safety, Efficiency Follow safety rules when you’re using a corn picker. That's the advice from W- HLyne, county agent, who says a com picker must he handled skillfully and safely in the field to avoid excessive com losses, clogging or accidents. A picker must be checked and adjusted to the season’s crop. Field stops for repairs, adjustments, and unclogging increase the chahces for accidents. } Here are a few safe corn picking rules: Never reach into a picket when it is running. Shut off the power be* fore oiling, adjusting, or unclogging. Keep shields in place. When using Tounted pickers this includes tractor engine shields for fire prevention. Dress for the job. Always wear close fitting clothing that is warm and comfortable. "Extra thumb’’ gloves are especially dangerous. * Watch out for falls. Prohibit extra riders gnd see that you have firm footing when climbing on and off equipment. Never dismount while 'tractor is in motion. Keep tractor platforms free of tripping hazards. On the highway, use a red flag to warn motorists of slow moving vehicle. Use lights, white in front and red on rear, at night. Beware of fires. Never refuel tractor when motor is hot or running. Keep fuel lines free of leaks and use a non-breakable sediment bowl. Be prepared. Keep a first aid kit where it will he available if needed, Always carry a fire extinguisher.
