Farm Machinery
is Dangerous
With spring fanning underway,
operators of farm machinery are
tempted time and again to give
children a ride on the tractor or
other farm machinery. But don’t,
even though it may cause them to
be unhappy for a short time. Such
machinery is too dangerous for
small children to play around or
ride on.
Extension agricultural
engineers at The Pennsylvania
State University warn that the
same precautions should be
observed when working with
lawn mowers and garden trac-
Jors.
