Tractor accidents reduced with
transmission device
Deere It Company today announ-
ced that in the interest of farm
safety it will make available at no
cost to the farm equipment industry
its patents for a transmission divice
that reduces the risks of tractor aCr„
extents.
The special transmission valve,
which was developed at the John
Deere Product Engineering Center
in Waterloo, Iowa, prevents
hydraulically activated tran-
smission clutches from engaging
unless the clutch pedal has been
depressed and released by the
operator following each start.
Operators have been injured when
they improperly start their tractors
by bypassing normal circuitry while
standing on the ground. It is a prac-
tice that manufacturers have urged
farmers not to use and have tried to
discourage through other design
changes.
The danger in such a start, of
course, is that the tractor will move
if the transmission is in gear. With
the Deere safety device in the clut-
ch hydraulic circuit, the machine
won’t go into motion following a
start even when it is in gear at least
not until the operator mounts the
machine and depresses and released
the clutch pedal.
Currently Deere has the safety
feature on its 50 Series row crop and
four wheel drive tractors with the
Quadrange transmission, and within
Texas heat can be
health hazard
the next few months it will be in-
stalled on all 50 Series row crop trac-
tors.
This action by Deere marks the
fourth time the company made its
safety patents available to the entire
industry at no cost.
In 1971, Deere released its paten-
ted rollover protection structure,
and four years later it gave the in-
dustry its patented method for
covering power take-off shafts to
reduce exposure and thus injuries.
In 1962, Deere released its patent for
a tip-up shield on the tractor which
reduced the necessity of removing
the shield to accomodate large
power take-off connections.
Starting Flanker - Blake Bryant ‘43’ earned himself a starting position with the North All-Stars after 4 days of
workouts in Houston. Bryant also held for extra point attempts and played some in the defensive secondary. The
game was held in the Houston Astrodome Aug. 3. The South Texas All-Stars won 27-7. Bryant will report to the
University of Texas at Austin August 16, to try out for the Texas Longhorns. (Progress Staff Photo)

Hot, humid weather which typifies
Texas summers can be dangerous to
your health, particularly if you work
outdoors.
Outdoor workers often suffer from
such physical disorders as heat-
stroke, heat exhaustion, heat cram-
ps and fainting, said Dr. Gary
Nelson, safety engineer with the
Texas Agricultural Extension Ser-
vice, Texas A&M University
System.
Such disorders occur most often
when workers do not take time to ad-
just to the heat, noted Nelson. Sum-
mer hot spells, the first few days of
work for new workers, and the first
day back on the job after a vacation
or illness are likely to be times when
workers suffer the most from heat-
related problems.
The combination of high tem-
peratures and high relative
humidity can be especially
dangerous, said Nelson. Now the
National Weather Service has come
up with a “heat index” or “apparent
temperature'’-to warn outdoor
people to take it easy.
For example, a temperature of 100
degrees F. and a relative humidity
of 50 percent have the same effect as
if the temperature hit 120 degrees.
The human body cools itself by per-
spiring, but problems can develop
when high relative humidity preven-
ts the evaporation of perspiration
from the skin, Nelson explained. The
“apparent temperature” takes into
account the reduced cooling ability
caused by humidity.
To avoid potential problems
during the hot summer weather, he
offers these suggestions for farmers
and ranchers and others who work
outdoors:
#Rest periodically in a cool place;
rest is most beneficial when breaks
are short but frequent.
((Drinks fluids every 15 to 20
minutes. Water intake must equal
perspiration loss, so drink more than
enough to satisfy thirst. Rely on
meals to replace salt.
((Wear loose garments of thin cot-
ton fabric to enhance air circulation
near the skin and to allow body heat
to escape.
#Slow down work speed or
distribute the workload evenly over
the course of the day.
Iflf possible, postpone nonessential
work for cooler periods.
((Transfer workers to help from
other jobs or obtain extra helpers.
(Where possible, shield workers
from equipment heat sources, use
exhaust fans near heat sources, and
provide open windows and cooling
fans for maximum air flow around
individuals.
((Provide maximum opportunities
for outside workers to work in well
ventilated, shaded areas.
Headding these suggestions and
keeping tabs on the daily tem-
perature and relative humidity can
go a long way to preventing heat
related disorders during summer
weather, said Nelson.
' Backyard pools are very inviting
on hot, summer days, but the cool
water can be a fatal exticement for
small children or young, inexperien-
ced swimmers. Even adults perish
because of carelessness or bad
decisions.
Small children should never be left
unattended or unsupervised by a
responsible adult when near a
swimming pool, advises the Texas
Department of Health.
Toddlers and small children may
be unaware of the dangerous aspects
of swimming pools, and a drowning
can occur in a matter of minutes-
even in very shallow water. A person
who leaves a child alone in or near a
pool for just a brief moment, even
while answering the telephone or
checking food on a eookstove, may
return to find that a drowning has
occurred.
One of the best things a parent can
do for a child is to give the child
swimming lessons at an early age.
Pool owners can help prevent ac-
cidents and keep the summer safe
and enjoyable by putting these tips
into practice:
1. Secure your pool with an
adeguate enclosure at least four feet
high.
2. Provide responsible supervision
for children at all times.
3. Enforce pool rules that prohibit
roughhousing.
4. Mark the depth of the water on
the pool deck and walls to show
swimmers where they can dive and
jump safely. Above-ground pools
generally are too shallow to allow
diving.
5. Keep rescue equipment -
reaching (poles) and throwing aids -
on both sides of the pool. Instruct
swimmers in their use.
6. Make sure floating toys and
mattresses are treated as toys - not
lifejackets.
7. Empty all water from wading
pools and turn them upside down
when you are finished with them.
8. Never allow anyone to swim
alone.
Following these tips can produce a
safe atmosphere in which to enjoy
your pool during the rest of the hot
summer.
