The tractor, binder, harvester, hay baler and reaper have practically replaced the horse, not only as a source of farm labor--but also as a cause of serious, mutilating, and fatal accidents. The tractor, probably the most common of the recently adopted farm vehicles, is often driven by boys and girls as young as 10 or 12 years of age. And they may occasionally take their even younger brothers and sisters for rides across the fields, into the pastures, or even onto busy highways.
Too much warning cannot be sounded to those on farms of the potentially lethal nature of the common, small farm tractor. The number of people on farms who have been run over and killed by their own machines is appalling, Smith says Frequently the accidents are caused because the machines have been left in gear when the driver dismounted, or when he was operating a tractor on the side of hills so steep that it toppled over, or when trying to force a machine to perform more difficult jobs than those for which it was intended. Rural safety is everybody's business, says Smith. For your own sake as well as the safety and welfare of your loved ones, make it your business. Think, talk, teach, preach, and practice safety. Invest in it daily. The dividends are high and rewarding!
