Circular Available
On Farm Problems
Caused by Fallout
In event of nuclear attack
and resulting radioactive fall
out, farmers would have ad
vantages, but at the same time
special responsibilities and
problems, that urban dwellers
would not have.
Their advantage would be
that most rural areas are out
side what are usually consider
ed to be possible enemy tar
gets. This means the majority
of farm families would not ■
likely be affected by a direct ;
blast Their main concern would
be fallout, and this is a prob
lem that something can be done
about.
The farmer’s additional prob
lem is that he must protect not
only him family, but livestock,
food, feed and water for live
stock as well as for humans
from contamination. HLs prob
lem would be longer lasting, too,
because the need for food af
ter an attack would be critical.
To help the farm family pro
tes t already existing food sup
plies and plan for continued
production, the Federal Exten
sion Service of the U. S. De
partment of Agriculture has
prepared a circular explaining
what radiation is and how to
cope with it. Copies of the cir
cular, Fallout and Your Farm
Food, may be obtained from
any Georgia county agent or,
home demonstration agent.
Fallout, the circular explains,
contains radioactive materials,
but the radiation from fallout
does not make anything else
radioactive. It is only when .
radioactive particles—the dust
blown up by the nuclear blast
—get into food supplies that
food or water becomes unsuita
ble for use.
This means that preventing
contamination of food, feed and
water supplies is as simple as
protecting it against dust.
Animals are another matter.
Like humans, the radiation can
harm them, but shielding such
as a barn or other buildings
can give them a lot of protec
tion. The big problem with an
imals is having a safe supply
of feed and water available to
last through the danger period.
Not all animals are aucepti
ble to radiation to the same de
gree. Poultry can stand twice
as much radiation as cattle.
Chickens and eggs would be
one of the most dependable
food sources during such an
emergency.

would face. It tells how to pro

Homeowners Are
Advised to Deduct
Certain Losses
Most homeowners are not
i likely to forget big casualty
Losses, such as damage from fire,
। hurricane or floods, when fig
j uring their taxes. But there are
smaller los»es which may be
overlooked, according to
Changing Times, the Kiplinger .
Magazine.
An article in the current is
sue of the magazine notes that
“Generally, to be deductible,
a casualty must be sudden, un
expected or unusual. You can
deduct the loss to the extent
it’s not covered by insurance.”
The magazine advises home
owners not to overlook such
small items as:
—A hot water boiler that
bursts.
—Water pipes that freeze
and crack.
—Nearby blasting or sonic
boom tliat shatters windows.
—Damage to the house caus-;
ed by vandals.
—Damage to trees or shrubs i
caused by storm, sudden cold'
spell or lightning.
—Damage from a sudden in
vasion of termites, say within
a year after the house was in
spected and found clear of ter
mites.
“The amount of loss, basical
ly, is the decrease in value of
the property immediately be
fore and after the casualty,"
the article states. “Ideally, an
independent before - and - aftet
appraisal by an expert would
be the best method of estab
lishing your loss. But the In
ternal Revenue Service will
often (though not always) ac
cept repair bills, if not exces
sive, as a proper estimate of'
the loss. You can claim the
casualty loss even if you do
not actually repair the dam
age. Figure the loss from an
estimate of what repairs would
coat.”
