Children plus farm machinery add up to a bumper crop of accidents each year, says O. L. Hogsett, safety specialist, at the University of Illinois, ^either the children nor the machines are at faulf. It is the responsibility of parents to see that these accidents can't happen. The best way to prevent accidents is to make children understand what causes fhem and how they can be, prevented. The child may think you are too strict when you forbid him to ride on a tractor or other machinery. But it may keep him from being injured or killed. So think twice before you let your children ride on farm machinery.
