4 —Lancaster Farming; 'Sefturday;'October' 3# 'I&5? Ft I-MSC Farm Safety Rule Machines Can Not Think - The engineers who design modern, farm equipment put safety high up on the “must” list. Every feasible safety feature is incorporated. Elaborate instructions for safe op eration are made available to the user But the equipment makers have no control over what happens once the machines reach those users. They can't prevent tragically Idiotic practices which lead to death and injury. . The Metropolitan Milk Producers’ News tells of some totally needless acci dents that occurred lately in the East. In one, for example a 12-year-old boy drove a tractor over a steep incline, and lost both legs. In anoth er,. a 59-year-bid farmer lost his right arm while attempt ing to fasten the shield on his tractor’s power take-off without bothering to stop the engine. tt’s obvious to anyone that Soil Conservation District Schedules Forestry Meeting Trees, and the conservation of soil and water will be the topic fgr discussion at the meeting planned by the Lan caster County Soil Conservation District on October 7 in Solanco High School, Quarryville.

In no case should children be allowed to operate equip ment. And the farmer who is too lazy or too thoughtless to stop the engine before making repairs or adjust ments is simply asking for disaster. And the same thing is true of virtually all other types of equipment accidents especially those that result when farmers make design changes and mechanical im provements of their own de vising. The machines are safe—if the operators will think of safety and follow the simple common-sense rules involved. Hybrrd Corn Plots To Be Husked Out James Eakin, Agronomist from the Pensylvania State University will discuss the merits and faults of several commercial hybrid seed corn vanities when two demonst ration plots are husked on county farms next week, ac cording to Harry Sloat, As sociate County Agent. “Farmers from a 1! parts of the county inmtod to at tend the demonstrations and help m husking’ S oat says.
