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.

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

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
