Accordingly, somp 3,000 farms picked at random in North Caroli | na will be visited this fall by "num erators" of Mr. Parker's staff.. A numerator will be appointed in each of the 99 counties that grow corn in quantity. In most cases, | these men will be local residents I qualified to take the samples.

Agent Warns Against Machinery Accidents American farmers have establish ed an enviable performance in me chanizing their farm, except where they have let accident* mar the records, Ben Jenkins, county agent for the State College Extension Ser vice said today. America leads the World in me* ' chanized agriculture. Three million farm tractors now play a vital role! In the production and harvesting of , the nation'? crops, Mr. Jenkins said: But at the same time, National Safety Council reports indicate that| tractors may be involved in nearly , 75 percent of all accidents , with farm machinery. All these accidents are needless. The maiti safety rule for operating tractors in the field Is Just good common sense. Yoil can't afford to gamble the loss of a limb or life by operating without the power take; off shield in place. Cranking a trac tor while in gear is another danger ous vvay to start-a day's work. Ex cessive speed, and careless operation around ditches will also hurry a trip to the hospital Ju. iplng off the tractor while it is in motion in ano ther way to invite an accident. Careless parents who permit child ten to ride tractor* or hitch a rid* on trailing implements are trot real ly thinking a. bout the child's wel fare. Here are a few more Important rules': 1. Be careful coupling implements j to tractors, always stay in the clear. 2. Avoid wearing loose, floppy; clothing while operating tractors. 3. Observe r*tanrfard traffic signals j when operating on public highway^, j 4. Use light for night operation, don't operate in the dark. . _ .5. See that everyone is in the clear before starting a tractor.
