2t>—Lancaster Farming, ' Sat., October 21,1967 Roll-Over Protection On Tractors Is Urged Miss Audra Robertson, Uni versity of Missouri extension safety specialist, calls attention to recommendations of the Na tional Safety Council concern in? roll-over protection for farm tractor operators. The National Safety Council says protective frames or crush resistant cabs to guard tractor operators in roll-over accidents should be standard equipment on all farm tractors. The NSC reasoning is, trac tor overturn accidents in the United States kill more than 500 farm workers each year. Since operator error cannot be totally conti oiled, deaths from tractor overturn accidents are likely to continue unless ti ac tors are equipped with basic operator overturn protection. Considerable evidence is available to show that protec tive frames—similar to the roll bars m race cars—and crush resistant cabs have the poten tial to sharply reduce the se verity of injuries to operators invohed in tractor overturns A University of Caliform i study indicates it takes less than two seconds for a tractor to tip. When a tractor reaches the point of no return, only seven-tenths of a second is needed to complete the roll over. The chance of a man jumping to safety at this time is very remote In most eases, a protective frame will prevent a tractor from rolling more than 90 de grees Even if the tractor rolls all the way over, such as down a steep embankment, the frame is 'built strong enough to sup port the tractor’s weight. NSC recommends the use of a seat belt along with the pro tective frame to provide added protection by keeping the op erator in the seat during an upset. Protective frames for agri cultural tractois are now avail able on some production mo dels Other tractor makers are also expected to offei them PICK PEARS Beautiful tiee-ripened pears may be mushy or discoloied on the inside This can. be avoided says Cad S. Bittner, extension po m'ologist Pick the fruit about one week or ten days before it normally ripens on the tree Then stoie it in a cool place until ready to use it Take the pears out of storage as need ed, and let them ripen slowly.
