With such machines it is essential that the power take-off guards be in place while they are operating, 'and just as essential that the power take-off be out of gear before the driver dismounts from the tractor.’ Neglect of either of these two precautions leads, to a succession of accidents each year, many of them resulting in l injury and some in'death. Power take-off shields are placed on machinery solely for the protection of the operator. Keeping them in position prevents what may be serious injuries. . —C. J. CROSBIE, Farm Machinery Instructor, Department of Agriculture, Christchurch.
