‘Who Killed Who’ in ’52
AUTOMOBILES—
37,600 people killed—this is more than all of the U.S.
killed and wounded in the Korean War.
Over 2,000,000 people injured
CAUSE OF ACCIDENTS—
Almost half by excessive speed
Almost half by reckless and careless driving
A Small percentage unavoidable.
75 per cent of the accidents occurred in good weather on good
roads. 46,700 automobiles in accident, 45,000 of these were in
good mechanical condition.
Late afternoon and early night is most dangerous time.
Saturday is most dangerous day.
Drivers under 25 years old incurred 25 per cent of all accidents.
These facts should impress every automobile driver to be very
careful and cautious at all times, to bear in mind it is the duty
of each individual driver to help reduce the terrible toll of lives
lost, people injured and destruction of property.

when the war-time market collaps-
ed in the 20’s.
When a second World War again
demanded the utmost of farmers,
they increased production by near-
ly one-third. This was about the
limit of our production capacity
at that time.
Today, each farmer now raises
enough to feed himself and about
15 others. And there are 7,000 new
babies to be fed in the United
States every morning of the year.
New farmers and new farms can’t
be created fast enough to keep the
ratio balanced.
If we have to raise our sights
to feed a permanently expanding
population, where shall we turn
this time?. There are no new
frontiers of first-rate land to be
opened up. Only a little more than
one-fifth of our land area is now
being used for crops, so millions
more acres' could be put into culti-
vation1—but the investment for ir-
rigation alone would be staggering.

The problem is now a new one.
Abot 150 years ago, Thomas Mal-
thus, a brilliant but rather short-
sighted English economist forecast
for the human race because the
world population, he said, was out-
stripping agricultural production.
But Malthus was wrong. He under-
estimated the farmer’s ingenuity
in constantly improving his crop
raising methods.
The answer, then, lies in a
greater application of science to
agriculture. We must find new
wavs to apply research to agri-
cultural production and teach ap-
proximately the present number
of farmers to use new scientific
knowledge on approximately the
present area of cropland.
We have nothing to fear from the
“fifth plate” as long as the farmer
continues to increase his per-acre
yields, improve his soil conserva-
tion practices and work for better
planting and animal breeding.

CORNER CLOVER
4-H CLUB MEETS
The girls of the Corner Clover
4-H Club met for their regular
meeting in the home of Linda
Gross, Monday, Aug. 24.
The club voted to enter a girl
in each of the queen contests to
be held on Sept. 11 at Pan tex
Field Day and Sept. 19 at the Fall
Festival.
The coming bake show and proj-
ect show days were discussed.
It was reported that 100 pounds
of magazines were taken to Ama-

plate?”
If population forecasters are
right, our agricultural production
will have to increase 20 percent
to feed the next generation as well
as we are eating now. This means
a big demand for additional food.
In the past, such demands have
led to drastic changes in the lives
of many people. When the Irish
potato crop failed in 1885, hun-
dreds of thousands left their native
country to find homes in the Unit-
ed States. As the population in-
creased in the eastern states, peple
moved west, opening new land and
advancing the frontier.
In World War I, American farm-
ers expanded their production by
putting vast acreages of land into
