MORROW FARM EQUIPMENT LTD. Massey-Ferguson Farm Machinery SUNDERLAND, ONTARIO CALL 357-3121 or 357-3120 As $ The Farm Scene FARM SAFETY WEEK, JULY 25 to 31 For the past several years, the last week in July has been designated as Farm Safety Week. The purpose of 'this designation is to focus attention on farm accident prevention, in an effort to reduce the loss and suffering that takes place each year as'a result of accidents with farm equipment and injuries to farm "people. : Ro iadisation has solved many production pro- blems on our farms. However, it has been accom- panied by a serious increase in the number of machinery related accidents. The accident frequency $8 for farming ranks third behind mining and forestry, and it is estimated that the accidental death rate on the farm is 20 percent higher than the national average. A breakdown of the accident statistics indicates that nearly 40 percent of the fatalities happen to the under 19 age group, and nearly 20 percent of fatalities happen to children 10 years old or younger. While manufacturers are constantly redesigning their equipment to make it more safe, the accident frequency remains. high. Tractors account for nearly 80 percent of all machinery: fatalities, and of those more than half are over-turns. Combines, hay balers, forage harvesters, and spreaders, are other types of machinery that make up the list of most dangerous equipment. Unsafe operating practices and poor maintenance procedures are the main cause of many farm machinery accidents. Where hired help are involved, the farmer, himself, is directly responsible for making sure that safety precautions are followed. Not only must he follow these precautions himself, but he must make sure that all employees and family members obey the rules of safe machinery operation. It is a common sight to see someone sitting or standing on the back of a farm tractor. This is a practice which should be discouraged as it can lead to i an accident and serious injury. In order to combat this hazard, the Ontario County Farm Safety Association distributed more than 700 No Rider decals to the Farm Machinery Dealers in the Ontario County area. These were to be placed on farm tractors, sold by the dealers, to remind farmers of the danger to riders. Farmers wishing a No Rider decal to place on their tractor, can obtain one from the local Farm Safety Association, Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food, P.O. Box 309, Uxbridge, Ontario. : TWILIGHT MEETING Ontario County Milk Producers are reminded of the Annual Twilight Meeting which will be held at Loa-De-Mede Farms, RR 2, Oshawa, on Tuesday, July 20th, at 7:00 p.m. This annual event is sponsored jointly by the Ontario County Milk Committee and the Ontario County Holstein Club.
