Farmers
Know Farm Job Restrictions
>. _
Franklin County farmers
who employ children 15
years old or younger for jobs
that are officially classified as
hazardous should be familiar
with certain restrictions. *
Certain occupations in
agriculture have been de
clared particularly hazardous
by the U. S. Department of
Labor for the employment of,
children under 16, according
to L. D. Baldwin, Agricultural
Extension Agent.
Such jobs as operating a
tractor with over 20 belt
-horsepower, and operating a
combine, baler, corn picker
and forage harvester, are
among those listed, Baldwin
says.
Some other tasks are pro
hibited - such as handling or
applying anhydrous ammonia
and severa) types of herbi
cides, insecticides and fungi
cides; working from a ladder
or acaffold more than 20 feet
high; and working in gas-tight
grain or forage enclosures.
Baldwin says the law does
not apply when the child is
employed by his parent or a
person standing in the place
of a parent on a farm owned
or operated by the parent or
person.;
Qualified youth can be
exempted from some parts of
the hazardous occupations in
agriculture declaration which
became effective Jan. 1,
1968, the agent points out.
"Fourteen and 15-year-olds
can be employed in certain of
these hazardous occupations
when they have completed a
formal training program in
the safe use of tractors and
farm machinery."
The training programs are
designed to make sure work-,
ers pass four requirements:
(1) become familiar with the
normal working hazards in
agriculture, (2) study safety
sections of the 4-H tractor
program manuals. ( 3| pass a
written exam on safe tractor
and machinery operation, and
(41 demonstrate their ability
to operate a tractor safely.
The agent says the boy or
girl will be issued a certificate
after he completes one of the
safety programs. The young
worker should then present
his employer a copy of the
certificate.
The employer has several
responsibilities. He should:
(1) instruct the boy or girl in
the safe operation of the
machine, (2) provide
adequate supervision, (3)
examine the certificate and
become familiar with the occ
upations the youth is quali
fied to perform, and (4) keep
the certificate on file during
the youth's employment.
Baldwin points out that 14
and 15-year-old youth who
wish to be employed in hazar
dous agricultural occupations
and employers can secure
additional information at the
County Extension Office in

And Parties

that the use of two (German
shepherd police ' dogs has
done much in controlling
wild teenage parties held in
open fields and abandoned
buildings. Me said the dogs
were not used to threaten but
to track and find the youths
partying. .
Alcoholics
And Jobs
? The Labor Department
says it is putting emphasis on
a plan to train and put alco
holics to work in an effort to
combat unemployment while
at the same time helping
them with their problem.
Special attention will be

135- foot concrete needle
reaching high into the sky
atop the Sacramento Moun
tains in New Mexico is ex
pected to be completed next
spring. Scientists will use it to

February
Draft Call
The Defense Department
reports that it will draft
33,700 men in February. This
is 7,000 more than the Jan
uary draft call. The larger
number will compensate for
the early release of reservists
and National CJuardsmen.
