Are farmers worse drivers than city folks? Nobody's sure yet. But "Acci dent Facta," the National Safety Council's statistical yearbook, just off the press, says farmers appear to be involved in fatal accidents more frequently than other drivers. Complete and detailed informa tion is not available, but reports from 16 states show that 14 per cent of all drivers involved in fa tal accidents in 1053 were farmers and farm laborers. About one farmer in 1,000 wac involved in a fatal motor vehicle accident last year, while for all other drivers the rate was about one ih 1,500. For all other male drivers the rate was about one in 1,200. These comparisons relate acci dents to the number of drivers only ahd do not Include the amount of driving done by farmers and oth ers. Insects Injure Cabbage Heads Bursting of cabbage heads is re lated to insect injury, the New York Experiment Station, Geneva, N. Y? reports, following a four year study. Yields of marketable heads were increased from 18 to more than 24 tons to the acre by increasing the rate of application of a 5-10-10 fer tilizer from zero to 1,800 pounds to the acre. The number of burst heads, how ever, also increased with increasing amounts of fertilizer. Different sources of fertilizer i ^redients had no effect on yield or bursting. Most significant was that control of cabbage worms, aphids. and thrips with dusts added almost 3 tons to the acre yield were no fertilizer was used, and 5 >4 tons where 1,800 pounds of a 5-10-10 fertilizer were applied. North Carolina wheat farmers will vote July 23 on the question of marketing quotas for the 1955 crop. Topsoil Aids Tree Growth Trees grow better in "upside down" soil, it was concluded from experiments at the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment station. New Haven. Conn. Hybrid poplar cuttings and white pines were rooted In large steel cyl inders, with topsoil at the bottom and subsoil on the surface Similar trees were grown In cylinders with normally arranged soli horizons for purposes of comparison. In the case of poplars, the growth was twice as great on the "upsidedown" soil. White pine showed a smaller incease. Under usual conditions, the most fertile portion of the soil is at the sur face, where it drys out. With the upside-down soil, fertile topsoil is at the bottom where it remains moist, the roots reaching down into It and easily extracting the necessary nutrients for tree growth. Bees Make Good Clever Pollinators, Expert Says Farmers who are growing crim son clover should use honeybees as pollinators, a Clemson Agri cultural College Extension Ser vice agricultural expert, said. Research shows that using the bees greatly increases seed yields. They are the most practical of the insect pollinators for this purpose because they can be moved from place to place as needed. The honeybees should be placed at the edge of the field to be pollin ated at the first sign of bloom on the clover. One or more colonies per acre should be used for tha best results. Rolla's Famous Buggy Whip Tree is Cut Down Rolla, Mo. (AP) ? They cut down this Ozark city's famous "buggy whip" tree the other day. It was 90 years old and not so hardy anymore. I lie sprout was planted by Rob ert Love, early day Phelps county sheriff.

He cut a silver maple branch for a buggy whip and just stuck the branch in the mud when he got home. The sprout outlived him by many years.
