M. Ellis,! In charge of Agriculture Engineer- f ing for the State College Extensionj Every farmer should make pre- , ptepartions for safe, efficient machinery operation, Mr. Ellie said.

It helps reduce his , alertness and increases the temp- J lation to take chances. Well con- . ditioned machinery saves time and j costly field breakdowns and mak- } e? litnn worK easier, Mr. tills said. The National Safety council points ont that carefull operators will also take time to equip tractors with fire extinguishers and provide se- ! cure holders for grease guns or ' other servicing tools carried on a, tractor. Loose accessories on tractors ! may cause falls or other casualties. ( Provide a secure step or grab bar I if it is easy to slip getting on or off i Mr. Ellis also advises a careful check of the fuel lines and the fuel servicing equipment. A leaking hose | or valve, can easily lead to a costly fire, he said. If the fuel supply is too \ close to farm buildings for safety, take time to move it before the start of spring work.
