Farm Safety Week Stresses
"Safer American Families"
National Farm Safety
Week activities for this year
started at the White House,
and through the Cooperative
Extension Service of the U.
S. Department of Agricul
ture, are expected to reach
every farm and rural home
in America.
President Lyndon B.
Johnson has proclaimed the
week beginning July 19 as
National Farm Safety Week,
and has called upon all
Americans to observe it and
its theme, “Safer American
Families Everywhere.”
Willis E. Huston, Exten
sion engineer at the Univer
sity of Georgia, is coordinat
or of the special week's acti
vities in this state.
“Our purpose," Mr. Hust
on said, "will be to draw
attention to the rural acci
dent situation and promote
intensive, year-round acci
dent-prevention programs in
rural communities all over
the state."
Sponsored jointly by the
National Safety Council and
USDA, Farm Safety Week
programs try to cut down on
the accidents that kill 8,700
and injure 800,000 farm re
sidents in the United States
each year.
"The dollar cost of farm
accidents,” Mr. Huston said,
“is 1.5 billion.” He added
that the grief, loneliness,
and pain that accidents bring
cannot be measured.
The Extension engineer
continued that most acci
dents involve human fail
ure — improper attitudes,
carelessness, lack of atten
tion to rules and regulations,
and many others.
During Farm Safety
Week, county Extension
workers, farm organizations,
and other groups will help
prevent accidents by giving
farmers and ■their families
the facts and pointing out
precautions they can take.
Each day of the week will
emphasize a special theme.
The theme for Sunday, July
19, is “Reverence for Life."
This will be followed on
Monday with “Safety Begins

Units To Hold
Meeting Fri.
Stockholders of The Madi
son Production Credit As
sociation and The Federal
Land Bank Association of
Madison will meet in regular
annual session at 10 o’clock
in the morning, Friday, July
24, in the court room of the
Morgan County Court

Joint Annual Meeting offers
an opportunity for everyone
to learn more about both or

THE COVINGTON NEWS
Flies Pose Major Problem
(Editor’s Note: The fol
lowing article is furnished
The Covington NEWS by
the Newton County Health
Department).
• • • •
Reference books will tell
you that the fly and mos
quito are classified very
much the same; one having
wings with scales while the
other has wings without
scales. For those interested
in insect collections this is
valuable information. But
for those of us that are con
cerned with them both only
as pests; well it just doesn’t
matter.
The control of filth-fre
quenting flies is a major
problem. During the horse
and-buggy era the fly was
tolerated as an unavoidable
nuisance. Then when flies
were condemned as carriers
of typhoid and half a hun
dred other diseases, homes
were screened and the use
of sprays became the accept
able thing. Conditions im
proved with the advent of
the automobile, but the in
dustrial migration from farm
to city began resulting in
crowded living conditions
and environmental sanita
tion reached a low level. Re
fuse accumulated and the
fly problem became acute. It
remains so to this day.
Organic insecticides will
give temporary relief, but
emphasis should be placed
upon environmental sanita
tion as a primary fly control
cash awards and valuable
prizes will be presented to a
number of lucky members
of both associations. It is
anticipated that a record
number will crowd the
Court House for this meet
ing, and a cordial invitation
is extended to the general
public. „
THE COVINGTON OFFICE

THESE ACTIVITIES, ANT

MEMBERS, AS WELL AS
THE GENERAL PUBLIC,
TO ATTEND THIS MEET
ING.
measure.
Refuse is the chief source
or breeding ground for do
mestic flies. Sewage and in
dustrial waste can be a
major fly producer. Animal
feeds and animal waste can
add significantly to the fly
population.
The control or near-elimi
nation of house flies can
therefore best be accom
plished by the proper handl
ing of refuse of all kinds,
sewage and other waste, and
dog or other animal areas.
Os course, no one individual
can accomplish this alone in
this day of close living and
fast movement. For that rea
son. we will always find it
necessary to employ chemi
cals as a part of overall fly
control.
Attempts are sometimes
made to kill flies by putting
cut poisonous minerals mix
ed in fly attracting foods.
This method, while effective
Jn killing many flies, actual
ly attracts many more flies
and therefore merely increa
ses the population or con
cent r a t i on of infestation;
with many not being killed.
The best method of mech
anical fly kill is that of us
ing synthetic organic insecti
cides such as DDT, lindane,
methoxychlor, mal at h ion,
diazinon, and dipterex.
(Most available in commer
cial fly sprays as purchased
from your merchant). When
any of these materials are
first employed they give fine
results, but resistance to the
insecticide developes rapid
ly, and after a number of
years control cannot be
maintained.
This resistance is passed
along to new born flies; so
the continued use of the
particular material is use
less. In years gone by, re
sistant strains of flies have
been developed faster than
man has been able to deve
lope new effective sprays.
Therefore, one will find that
if flies are to be eliminated
or even reduced to a mini
mum, strict attention must
be given to the sanitation as
pect of the control.
Efficient fly control bene
fits the entire community. It
can best be accomplished
with an organized program,
using all effective means.
Education is the number one
requirement of a good pro
gram. It begins with a reali
zation of the problem by re
sponsible individuals, ex
tends through the orienta
tion of public officials, and
reaches its climax only
through the determination of
all to work and cooperate
toward the desired results.
An awakened citizenry
can get the job done: your
health department can only
attempt to awaken the in
terests of others, educate the
masses, and assist when the
work begins. We are ready,
are you?
