Traffic deaths totalled 39,500, an increase of 900 over 1952. The injury count reached 2,140,000 compared to 2,090,000 for the previous year. The totals ate statistics from "The Passing Scene," twentieth in an annual series of traffic accident data published by the company. Accident facts from every state In the cotfntry are collected and analyzed fag- the publication. Excessive-^peed was the most dangerous driving mistake in 1953. Speed killed 13,870 persons and injured more than 600,000. Drivers under 25 years of age were involved in almost 25 per per cent of the year's fatal accidents although they constitute only about 15 per cmt of the total of all drivers. Weekend crashes accounted for 15,800 killed and 800,000 hurt during 1953. Forty-one per cent of the deaths and 36 per cent of the injuries occurred on Saturdays and Sundays last year. The pedestrian record reflected the third consecutive year of improvement. Booklet figures show pedestrian casualties reduced by 50 to 8,600. Crossing between intersections, "jaywalking," still is the chief cause of pedestrian deaths and injuries. "The Passing Scene" also reports that three out of four 1953 auto accidents happened to p**sr cars driving in cicar weadry roads ^ per cent of vehicles irin fatal accidents were ti'avelling straight ahead. ' Saturday was the most dangerous day of the weeft to drive. 1953 was the fourth consecutive year of increase in death toll. |»l'!l!!nii:i'MI I I II!

Friday Nites Til 9 -- Sunday 'Til Noon It's a good idea to grow either timber or pasture -- but not both on' the same ar^a. Farm woodlands can grow highly productive wood crops says L. B. Culver, extension forester at the U. of I. College of Agriculture. But you won't get much of a crop If you let stock giaze in the woods. Livestock browse and kil' young seedlings and trample and break down saplings and other young trees. Animals in the woods also compact the soil around the feeding roots of all trees ami cut off their needed air supply. They wound shallow roots, allowing diseases to enter and cause profit-taking damage. ^oods^pasture is low in qaalU ty, Vulver says, ev^nHhough the ^rass you see n^arJTiook fysh. The best (a^bse^n weeds can at bet be only about one-fifteenth as good as the same kind of forage in open, i:n(--.o\ed pasture. There is a host of poisonous plants in the woods, too, that may cause unnecessary livestock loss if you let the animals in. Notorious ones include white snakeroot, wild black cherry, buckeye and even, under certain conditions, oak.
