pages the tribune thurxlav auk 29 1968 new safety emblem beginning sept 1 every farm tractor and selfpropelled implement when operated on a highway or any vehicle towed by either of them shall have a slow moving sign attached to the rear this is an amendment to the high ways traffic act like the automobile on the highway the tractor on the farm is a potential killer if mis used each year in canada more than 100 trac tor fatalities occur in fact more people are killed and maimed with tractors on the farm than all other farm equipment combined this year the national safety league is paying particular attention to tractors about 60 per cent of tractor fatalities involve upsets and 33 per cent of them occur on the highway more than 25 per cent involve young people under the age of 20 the annual report of the league states that it takes less than two seconds for a tractor to upset and the chances of a man jumping to safety are pretty remote on the roads the ma jority of accidents result from other vehicles running into the rear of tractors thus the need is emphasized for the new emblem on the rear of farm equipment and adequate lighting i after dusk doreen jones delegate to un

doreen jones the autumn crocus by john bradshaw several bulb companies are selling what is often labelled as the giant flowering autumn cro cus in reality these most attractive flowers have no connection with the cro cus family although they do resemble extra large crocuses their correct name is colchicium and they are valuable not only for creating a fine display in the garden at a time of the year when few if any other bulbs are in bloom but its also possible to ex tract drugs from them colchicums can be used to provide a most fascin ating and eyecatching flower arrangement for the dinner table as they are one of the only plants that will produce flowers without the benefit of soil or water ah you need do is buy several bulbs set them in place in a large flat bowl and in just a few days the lovely flowers appear in as good a condi tion as they would be if they were planted in soil in the garden once the blooms have faded the bulbs can be set out in the garden and each septem ber and october theyll flower so well that the giant blooms will often hide the ground youll discover that they are very longlasting and if left undisturbed will bloom year after year another unusual feature of the colchicums is the fact that they flower with out benefit of any leaves this being the case youll need to plant some low growing plant material around them to make up for this lack of foliage the leaves appear in the spring and quickly grow to a giant size which is in keeping with the huge flowers many persons forget the spot where they planted the colchicums and are very surprised

almost a tropical appear ance about the first of july they turn brown and soon fade away because there are two periods in the year when there are no leaves to mark their location its a good plan to stake the spot where they are locat ed so that the bulbs will not be dug up or damaged during cultivation choose a sunny location for best results although they do bloom reasonably well under partially shady conditions you set the bulbs two inches deep and the first winter only they need covering with a mulch of straw or other light humusy material two inches to tnree inches s deep to muddy up the water a little more a check through your bulb dealers catalogue will show that there are a group of true fallflowering crocuses these bloom in almost the same way as those that provide
