F.-Photo* YOUTHS UNDER 16 CAN’T DRIVE FARM TRACTORS In effect since January 1,1988, a ruling by U.S. Department of Labor forbids youths under 18 to drive tractors of more than 20 horsepower. The ruling does not apply to youths working on their famil i e s' farms and youths of 14 and 15 may qualify for exemptions from the ruling by completing approved train ing courses. In New York, for example, E. W. Foss, professor of agricul tural engineering at Corpell, and Dr. Harold Noakes of the state's Department of Educa tion are setting up training courses and are planning to co operate with 4-H and FFA groups to encourage participa tion by rural boys and girls who desire to work on farms during school vacations.
