* Agent Stresses - ? | Driveway Safety "Tress, bushes, and tall crops at driveway entrances are a serious traffic hazard on farms," says Coun ? ty Agent Ben Jenkins, of the State College Extension Service. "Too oft- , en these objects make it impossible for drivers traveling on -the high way to see farm vehicles about to enter the road." To reduce chances for accidents, Mr. Jenkiins suggests that farmers use the following method reoommen j ded by the National Safety Council in removing obstructions: Fin* park your car in the drive way with the bumper 10 feet from 1 the nearest edge of the pavement or traveled portion of the road. ??tce off a distance of 700 feet (290'pac es) along the highway to the left and* place a marker at the edge of the pavement on the same side as the driveway entrance. Using the saint piocedure, set an other marker 700 feet down the road ' ' in the opposite direction and on the ? opposite side of che highway. If a heavy, slow- starting truck will be using the driveway, the markers j should be set 830 feet away since it I wiTl take longer for the truck to get out on the highway and get up the road speed. After markers have been set, go back to your car and sh in the driv- i er's seat. If you can see the mark- 1 ers, the sigty distances are proper as long as traffic going by the farm does not exceed 60 miles per hour. If the markers cannot be seen, weeds and Other obstructions must be cleared in order to make-thedrive way safe. When entering the highway, make a full stop, look both ways, and turn. Into the proper lane. When leaving the highway, s.?nal your In tention well In advance, give plenty of distance, slow down gradually, a4)d stay in the proper lane.

Department of Agricul ture's Bureau of Agricultural Econ omics, Batch 'ord said the increase in the farm-morgage debt during 194S. was more than double the increase shown during 1947. , Although a rise was shown for the country as a whole, five states ?
