Farmers Warned On
Hay Harvest Hazards

Haying operations ana combining
mark the beginning of a season
when farm accidents run high, eau
tons Guy w. Gienger, Extension
specialist of the Agricultural En-
cheering Department, College of
Agriculture. at the University of
Maryland. He points out that hay
ing and combining machinery with
high speed cutting mechanism and
gears are operated in busy sea-
son when chances for accidents
mount rapidly.
To assure safety and avoid lost
time, the first step is to check
equipment carefully before work
starts. Watch out for defective
bitches, ropes, pulleys, lifts, hay
racks or ladders. See that loft
floors are in good repair and hay
chutes guarded to avoid falls. Also
check your cutting equipment and
see that safety guards are in place.
While operating, workers must be
constantly on the alert to avoid
falls. Watch out for falls from
machines, moving wagons and
barn lofts.
Watch starts and stops while
loading, especially on rough
ground. Never dismount from trac-
tors or machines while they are in
operation.
Pitchforks are frequently mis-
used more than any other tool
You cannot afford to take chances
with these long, sharp unguarded
steel tines. For outside work, carry
pitchfork over your shoulder
and stick it securely in the ground
when not in use. Don't lay it down
Never throw a pitchfork. See that
it is hung up or stored in a rack
in the barn.
Be sure that the hay is we'll
cured before it is stored in hay
mows. Damp hay will heat and
start a fire. This is one of the
principle causes Of barn fires.
Freshly stored hay should be
checked regularly for several
weeks to see that there are no
signs of heating.
