Speaking at . the 47th annual] meeting of the American Society of Agricultural Engineers, North Atlantic Region, held recently at the University of Guelph, Mr. Wright pointed out that in 1960 the death rate due to farm ac- cidents was 27 per 100,000 farm population. this ,figure was ar• rived at. as a result of a compre• hensive survey carried out by the departments to see where farm accidents occur, The motor vehicle death rate was 26 per 100,0000. "Since we all agree our highway fatalities are too high, we must concede, that our farm accident rate is also too high," said Mr. Wright. One way 'to reduce farm fatal- ities is to introduce safety legis- lation, suggested Mr. Wright. "However, it appears that re- strictive measures alone do not reduce the accident rate, The im- portance of safety legislation is to provide a more uniform education- al 'program which can reduce the number' and severity of farm ac- cidents." As an example of such legis lation, M.r Wright used the "slow moving vehicle"' sim man- datory in a number of provinces. In Ontario. its use has not reduc. ed car-tractor ,adoldents. It has, however, reduced the severity of these accidents. Each year, there are approximately 275 ear-tractor accidents, causing $200,000 in -property damage. But, fatalities have declined. There were 10 in 1967. 5 in 1968, and 1 in 1969. This indicates, said Mr. Wright, that the slow moving vehiele sign identifies a farm vehicle, from a ,greater distance, enabling the motorist to reduce his speed. OFA NEWS OFA President Gordon Hill said "the proposed inquiry into the. Ontario egg industry is perhaps the best way to eliminate the emotion generated in recent weeks and clear up confusion among egg producers," }Id was referring to the recom- mendation of the Farm Products, Marketing Board to the Minister of Agriculture and Food, the Hon. William Stewart, that an inquiry into the Ontario egg industry should be held.
