The magazine estimated that farm products sold in Nebraska in 1958 totaled $1,304,464,000. This is more than $278,200,000 over the 1957 estimate.

Edwards estimated there are between 750,000 and 800,000 li censes on file In the Capitol. He said about 45,000 to 50,000 new ones are issued each year and about the same number are can celled each year because form er holders have left the state, died or have stopped driving. Lower Auto Insurance Your driving record will be the key to your automobile in surance rate under a new safe driver plan instigated by two insurance rating firms which represent some 20 companies which write insurance in Neb raska. Under the safe driver insur ance plan the insurance prem ium will depend upon the num ber of points a driver has. State Insurance Director William Grubbs said. One point is assigned for each accident and for each convic tion of a chargeable moving traf fic violaiton, except for five ser ious offenses for which either three or five points are charg ed. While there are no points for two years, premiums will be cut 20 per cent. One point earns a 10 per cent discount and two points means the driver will pay the basic rate for the policy. For three points, 20 per cent is added to the premium and with four points 40 per cent is added. Five points will add 70 per cent and six or more points will mean -that insurance costs will, be 100, per. cpnt more.
