CREEK BANKS DANGEROUS—Each year newspapers re- port farm tractors that have overturned on a side hill or a creek bank or ditch — sometimes with fatal results. These creek banks are particularly dangerous after a heavy rain, since the soil is not as stable and the surface is slippery, So always keep your tractor at least a few feet away from these harzardous conditions, advises the On- tario Farm Safety Council.
