WINTER DRIVING HAS MANY
PERILS FOR MOTORISTS

December, with the highest acct
don't rate of all, is the most dangerous
month in the year for American mo-
florists, according to Julien II. Harvey,

ualty and Surety Executives.
"Driving at any time calls for
reasonable care and ,skill,' says Mr..
Harvey, "but this is especially true in
the winter mVlth and most true of all
in December. Safety progress has made
Hinter driving moro comfortable than
in the past, but motorists must always
be on the lookout for ice and snow
on the roads, slippery curves, pedes

SEEDLINGS GOOD

Many farmers have thought that
their crested wheat grass seedlings
made in the fall Of 1898 were fail
ures. Therefore the county extension
staff visited number of farms
throughout the county, fifty in an,
to inspect seedlings made at that
time and to determine what method
of seeding seemed to prove the most
successful.
Many Of the seedlings which the
farmers thought to be failures wers
found to be very good. The first year.
the heavy growth of weeds had the
tendency to give the impression tha'
there were no grass, and It Is only
upon very close inspection that the
percentage of grass can be determined.
Approximately so per cent Of the
seedlings inspected were good stands
some being exceptionally good. OF
course, there were also some seedlings
that were complete failures.

little, many drivers do not realize the

too late to stop the car. The statistics

100000 miles, while in June it aver
aged 12.3-an increase of better than
SO per cent during December
"Whiie January falls below Decem-
Der in the death rate average, it also
is among the highest ranking months

anything, they are going to stand for,
il is pretty dangerous for any of their

Disregard of this cardinal principle
got Senator Taft into good deal Of
trouble recently. He evidently thought
that he was on safe ground i'll assall-

the Iowa farmers that the corn loan,
which is part if the Roosevelt farm
