vention on farms compared to industrial plants we have to agree that farm work rules and the hazards we live with indicate a lack of empha sis in safety one kind of accident that we are seeing more of is the kind where hands and feet get caught in feed augers and ele vators safety experts con tend that one of the rea sons is that this equip ment doesnt seem to be moving fast enough to be highly dangerous they say many opera tors feel they can get out of a jam by reacting quickly but a few tests with a stopwatch would upset this confidence badly they say human reac tion time is about three- quarters of a second in this time the rolls on a corn combine pull in 15 feet of material a man holding a stalk would be into the machine before he could even let go augers usually move material at about seven feet per second a finger caught would be five feet up the tube before the victim could do anything a person has half a chance with a chain ele vator running at three feet per second but

hazard not mentioned previously the danger of some child or adult ac cidentally falling into the openair vats mr shantora visited the site in 1969 and filed a report never before made public he said that the prop erty contains three ponds one estimated at 50 feet in depth he found targets nearby possibly he said used by children for shooting practice he not ed that the ponds were not fenced and

of the ponds did not con tain sufficient surface area for efficient evapora tion in conclusion he said the operation of the site with respect to the disposal of liquid waste is noi adiisfactory rodanz
