Kentucky farmers test 2 4-D on 18 600 acres, boosting corn yields by up to 18 bushels per acre while reducing cultivation costs. The chemical, derived from phenol chlorine and acetic acid, kills broad leaf weeds but spares grasses.

Instruction Permit Rule Clarified For New Drivers
An Attorney General opinion affirms that a private driving school pupil may require an instruction and examination permit before receiving an operator's license. The ruling notes that under law a student aged 15 or older in a high school driver education course may operate a dual controlled vehicle without such permit if approved by a qualified instructor. The described private school case did not meet the defined driver education course criteria authorized for high schools.
