Bu' it remains' a- dangerous place to work. There, were 8,700 larm resi dents kityeA accidents 'in. 1 about th'a ?sameaB-'the -year fore. But there were three per cent fewer farmers. Death rates increased in all accident classes but work, just as they did, nationally, accord ing to the National Safety Coun cuv The rarm work rate 'had' a small ' decrease while the na tional rate was unchanged. : Farming continues to rank as the , third . most hazardous occu pations .Only mining, including quarrying ..and petroleum drill ing and . construction have high er accidental death rates. Motor vehicle, home and pub lic .accidents .affect farm resi dents about as severely as other Americans. But work accidents, the smallest classification nation ally, on the farm remain second only' to motor vehicle accidents. Safety precedures, developed in other industries, are as ne cessary on the farm as in other work if farm safety is to be brought into line with the rest of the nation. Supervision of employees Is much more difficult on the farm than in a factory. The worker often works alone and an un safe act may go unnoticed and uncorrected. Frequently the farm employee is temporary help an itinerant worker or a' student working during the summer. To often he lacks the proper training and knowledge to work safely. The farm employer should make an extra effort to be sure that his workers understand their duties and the proper, safe way to ' operate equipment and handle the materials they use. It cannot be assumed that a high school student can; operate a tractor properly (because he has a , driver's license no matter how sale a driver he may be. : 'National Farm Rafetv Wlr July 19-25,'; is a time when we examine 1 the progress we are making; ' .
