 HaTen. Gallatin county and some of her 51 Barred Rock 

 chicks. She hasn't lost a chick since she got them 9 

 weeks ago. Her mother. Mrs. Genritian Melton, is New 

 Haven Club Leader. 



They're strong for 4-H Club work down 

 in Gallatin county. If you drop into New 

 Haven, over on the Wabash you'll see 

 around 50 girls out tending chick flocks 

 they purchased through the Farm Bu- 

 reau for 4-H Poultry work. They're ser- 

 ious about it too, and many are the 

 arguments about the proper method of 

 feeding. Other townships are equally 

 busy with their projects. 



Throughout the county, the boys and 

 girls are busily feeding some 50 head 

 of Hereford calves purchased in Texas 



by the Producers agency in St. Louis, 

 and sent to Gallatin. Other boys and 

 girls are feeding calves, raised on their 

 parents' farms: The boys and girls are 

 taking a big interest under the guidance 

 of Ray H. Roll, the new Farm Adviser 

 who succeeded Harry Neville, now in 

 Saline county, about 5 months ago. 



When show time comes, it looks like 

 bigger and better doings in Gallatin. 

 Don't be surprised if you see these boys 

 and girls from the southern end of the 

 state well up there when the prize win- 

 ners are picked. 



Farming Leads in 

 Number of Accidents 



Speaking on "The Farmer's Interest in 

 Accident Prevention," Edward A. O'Neal, 

 president of American Farm Bureau Fed- 

 eration, recently addressed the annual 

 convention of The American Red Cross 

 in Chicago May 13. Much of his address 

 was devoted to the work of the I. A. A. 

 Safety Department and facts about farm 

 accidents it has developed. 



President O'Neal said that although 

 city people seem to think farming is a 

 rather primitive occupation with very lit- 

 tle attendant danger from accidents, just 

 the opposite is true. Farming is com- 

 paratively a dahgerous occupation, he 

 said, because the farmer is forced to do 

 everything connected with it himself, 

 working long hours, using various types 

 of machinery much of which is not pro- 

 tected with safety devices, and working 

 in all weather conditions. 



"Agriculture, in 1934, led all other 

 occupations in the number of fatal acci- 



dents," Mr. O'Neal stated. "Surprising as 

 it may be," he continued, "horses are 

 responsible for more farm accidents than 

 tractors. Twenty-three percent of acci- 

 dents are caused by horses to 8 per- 

 cent by tractors." 



President O'Neal told the group that 

 preventive education is needed to cut 

 the number of accidents on the farm. "On 

 behalf of organized agriculture, I wel- 

 come the cooperation from the Amer- 

 ican Red Cross in any endeavor and in 

 any program which seeks to reduce the 

 hazards of fanning and which will elimi- 

 nate the number and character of acci- 

 dents to our farming people," he safd. 



The program building committee of 



McLean county has turned its attention 

 to the social and economic aspects of the 

 landlord-tenant relationship because of 

 the important bearing it has on the ag- 

 riculture of the country. The committee 

 is also working toward better rural 

 school health conditions and soil con- 

 servation.
