for older workers.
Once there is equipment attached,
there should he no one on the machine
except the driver.
. Teach cnildren deep and lasting
respect for Farm machinery from the
time they are toddlers InstiH in them
the idea that running power equipment
is complicated, that serious hazards
are involved in the use of it.
Discuss with children why they are
not allowed TO play on machinery or
ride on it.
A Serious Responsibility
A chiId's safety is his parents re-
sponsibility. If it we're possible to pur-
chase an ounce of magic guaranteed
to protect children from accidents, par
ents would rush out to buy it, of
course. But there is no such magic
formula on the market.
There is, however, knowledge about
prevention Of childhood accidents. If
applied, such knowledge can provide
basic formula for child safety.
Firm insistence upon strict adher-
ence to the rules, will do more than
anything else to keep your child safe
from injury.
What Can You Do?
Everyone has a stake in the welfare
of our youth today, but parents have
a special concern in this matter Par
ents are in the best position to be
competent judges of whether their chill
dren are mature or not. Some parents
have failed TO exercise good judgment
in the matter either because OF a boast
f,iI pride IN their children or because
of a shortage of help. Therefore, it IS
the duty of everyone concerned to ac-
cent this phase Of farm safety in any
overall safety program.
Here are some suggestions on how
you can influence others to include
child protection in their farm safety
programs:
1. Encourage your local newspaper to
print articles about the problem.
2. Have a panel discussion on the
topic at community meetings. Arrange
the panel to include adults whose chill
dren have been injured and younger
farmers who have themselves been in
jured
8. Have A talk by an FLA or Al
Club member who has had personal
experience with an accident on trac-
tor
4. Make a tape recording of the talk
and play it for meetings of other IN
terested groups.
S. Include mentions of the subject
in your organizations newsletter or
bulletins.
6. Have a local equipment dealer, or
other persons. speak to your group on
safe tractor operation.

injuries.
In most major livestock producing
states. horses are first in total accidents
involving farm animals. Cows rank sec
ond. and bulls third. This ranking is
generally true in other states also.
Children, because of their natural
love for and attraction to animals, are
often the victims of these accidents
If there are draft horses or riding
horses on your farm. keep small chill
dren away from them unless the child
is with an adult
AS the child's understanding and
abilities grow. teach him safe meth
DDS of handling horses. Safety in the

Preventing Accidents

Of fatalities to farm children, we should
always keep in mind and live by the
following safety rules:
Provide well-equipped play area
for small children.
Supervise their play-know where
the small child is at all times.
Don't allow child on mobile farm
equipment.
Wait until the child is old enough
to have judgment and big enough to
reach controls easily before teaching
him to drive tractor.

But there is another side to the story
The farm IS also dangerous place
to bring up children. Farming is one
of the most hazardous of occupations.
and the hazards exist each day and
YEAR round. These are facts we must
be aware of constantly and face IN
diligently.
In 1858. accidents killed 14,5OO farm
residents and injured 1 ESQ 900. The long
hist of fatalities included $500 deaths
s to farm people while doing farm work.
Statistics from several states which
led in the farm safety movement show
that farm machinery is one of the
greatest hazards on farms. Numerous
fatalities result from farm tractor ac-
cidents in which children we're riding
on, playing on. or driving the tractor.
A recent newspaper clipping survey
Of farm accidents occurring between
May and December of 1852 revealed
that: I'd as children we're seriously
injured or killed while operating farm
machinery. and ~ IS Of the children
were operating tractors at the time Of
the accident.
Children in the / to 4-year-old
age bracket rank high as victims Of
fatal tractor accidents. Fifteen to 49,
year olds run a close second. Most Of
the victims either we're extra riders
on tractors or were playing on them.
Who Was AT Fault?
An Illinois farm housewife wanted
to surprise her husband when he re-
turned from an emergency trip that
had interrupted his farm work She
got out the tractor and, taking along
their four-year old son, began to plow
a field she knew was next on her
husbands york schedule When her
husband returned from the trip he
found both wife and son crushed to
death beneath the overturned tractor.
It had been the wife's first time to
handle tractor alone and she APP
parently had misiudged the slope of
stream bark
In another case, a 12-year old Penn
sylvania farm boy permitted his small
brother to ride along with him on the
tractor. Shortly afterward, he turned
the tractor over while driving it up a
steep bank. His small brother was
killed in the accident.

ducing the crop to mere supply.
In other years the bean crop has
been heavy and the beans were of
excellent quality. But since the
rains have come, the crop has
changed to a big one. One lady
picked four quarts from a small
patch a few days ago.
We often deem it more honor
able and more profitable. too, to
set good example than to fol-

Driving a speedy trotter or a
PAGER in recent days has brought
the memories of the old days
when Mr.. James L. Dickinson was
the leading sportsman of the COM

race horses and they generally
gave a good account of them
selves on the race course and the
people always went to see the
races in crowds and were greatly
enthused by the close races be-
tween the fast trotters. Another
good reminder of former days has
been the grand results as shown
by Mr.. David Buckson who has
been driving some excellent speed
ers on the various tracks where
large crowds of race fans attend.
