FARM BRIEFS
County Affrloaltaral Agent
By Wylle Roberto
Tracter safety is a farm topic
that always needs to be emphasized.
II you could talk to anyone who
has had an accident with a tractor
he would likely tell you that he
could have saved his health or even
his life by observing a few simple
and common sense rules.
We have far too many tractor
accidents that could be avoided by
giving some thought before the
accident, to some of these rules.
-Some of the most important are:
1. Keep the tractor wheels spread
when possible to avoid tipping
hazards.
2. Do not operate the tractor on
dangerous inclines or ditch banks.
3. Keep all guards in place on
power shafts, belts and chains
4. Turn off all power before ad-
justng or unclogging machinery.
5. Keep tractor speeds under 4 Vi
miles per hour for off the road op-
erations, and never carry passen-
gers, especially children, on the
tractor.
Of course there are other safety
rules for tractor operation. Every
tractor operator should become
thoroughly familiar with the
machine, study the operator's man-
ual, and take more pride in be-
coming a safer tractor operator.

Each year a Rural Minister of
the Year is selected in Texas.
Just who that man will be is up
to the rural communities of Texas.
We all know the rural minister is
a very active force for good in
hundereds of Texas communities.
Many of them are not only spiritual
leaders but agricultural leaders as
well. The Texas Agricultural Ex-
tension Service, in cooperation with
the Progressive Farmer Magazine
and the Rural Church Conference,
is anxious to honor the outstanding
rural minister each year when they
learn who he is. Their selection is

made from the records of rural
ministers nominated by their rural
communities. The nominating pro-
gram closes April, and the Texas
Rural Minister of the Year will be
announced at the annual Rural
Church Conference held at Texas
A & M College in June. All interest-
ed groups may nominate their min-
ister if he is serving a community
of less than 2500. Record books for
use in making nominations may be
obtained from the Progressive
Farmer Magazine in Dallas or you
can let me know. I hope we can
have some nominations of ministers
from Montague County this year.
THIS YEAR'S MEAT SUPPLY
Do you like meat?
That's a pretty idle question—the
overwhelming majority of Ameri-
cans do, and consume it once or
twice a day. And the American
Meat Institute has some good news
for them.
During the current year, meat
production in the United States
will reach an all-time high of 28.3
billion pounds, says George Stark,
the Institute's chairman of the
Board. This will mark a gain of
four percent or about 1.1 billion
pounds over 1959. And it will boost
per capita meat consumption by
about 2.5 pounds from 158.2 pounds
in 1959 to 160.6 in 1960—despite the
anticipated large increase in popu-
lation.
Moreover, Mr. Stark goes on,
meat supplies during this year will
be still better adjusted to consumer
preferences, thanks to the continu-
ing efforts of livestock growers to
produce the lean, tasty cuts the
housewife prefers.
Most of the 1960's increased meat
supply will be beef, up three per-
cent. Pork supplies will be approxi-
mately the same as in 1959.
Comparatively small increases are
forecast for veal, lamb and mutton.
Summing up, the average Ameri-
can will put away 82 pounds of
beef, 68 of pork, 6 of veal and 4.6
of lamb.
Mr. Stark also says that another
bright spot is found in an apparent
decline in food faddism. That
augurs well for the national health.
