Visibility at dusk, especially during the winter months, is poorer than the driver realizes. Also because early evening is the time of heaviest congestion and lack of throughfares in many cit ies, the heavy accident toll. The traffic is jammed and the light becomes deceptive, and in addition, fatigue, calls for greater caution on the part of the driver, during the early evening. The percentage increase from noon until 9 p.m. was 3.2 in 1952. In 1951 the percentage increase was 2.8 for the same period. At the end of the day, drivers are tired and hurried and thus do not apply as much caution as they would otherwise. If only these people would acknowledge fatigue and adjust their normal driving habits accordingly the rate of accident could be cut.

I Agricultural Dean Of Baghdad Takes Farming Tege of Agriculture at Baghdad, Iraq, will take some ideas for im proving farming in his native land back with him from the Univer sity College of Agriculture. The expansion and improve ment of farming in Iraq is depen dent on more extensive use of ir rigation, Dean Arif said. He is taking a five months' tour of eight American universities under B UNESCO fellowship. Dean Arif said that of the ap proximate 384 million acres of tillable soil in Iraq aout 96 mil lion acres are under cultivation.! The irrigation necessary to make more land productive he said, will be obtained from large dams on the Tigris and Euphrates Riv ers. Irrigation and all other public projects are under the direction of the Iraq Development Board, Dean Arif continued. This is a non-political board, he added, which is given about 70 per cent of the country's annual $560 mil lion oil receipts for operating ex penses. Iraq oil, as well as everything under the ground, is nationalized, Dean Arif said. It is unfortunate for an individual to strike oil on his land in Iraq, he said, for he must then vacate his property,1 from Russia to the north, Iraq is. ley Jesse, publicity and WAA rep with compensation from the gov-! comparatively free of Commu-iresentative. ernment.
