Harvest Time Brings
Chances of Accidents

Farm people suffer more acci-
dents during harvest season than
at any other time of the year. To
help avoid harvest accidents, the
nation is now observing National
Farm Safety Week, July "a to 80.
Be especially careful during the
rush of harvest, when the chances
for accidents mount rapidly. Har-
vesting is a season when too
many farmers get in so big a
hurry that they fail to take neces-
sary caution.
First step for safe operation of
harvesting machinery is to put it
into good condition before the
harvest begins. This means that
seats, controls, steps and the me-
chanics of the machine should be
in good repair. Shields or other
safety guards must be in place be-
fore the machine is taken to the
field.
So save yourself and your
pocketbook by following these few
safety rules:
1. Always be alert; never take
a chance.
2. Keep all shields and safety
guards in place.
8. Always stop all machinery
before oiling, adjusting or unclog-
ging it.
4. DO not year loose or ragged
clothing around machines.
5. Always operate your tractor
at a safe speed, and be extra
careful with tractors and other
machines on highways.
6. Keep small children far away
from harvesting machinery.
7. Do not jump off equipment
while it is moving.
8. Obey highway rules and
