Description:: Soil classification is normally based on profile characteristics, genesis as well as chemical and physical characteristics systems. Traditional farmers all over Ghana have their own classifications based on colour, texture and coarse material content of the soils. In the Nanumba District farmers have come out with four major soils based on this criteria as against seven by Soil Scientists. However, comparing the two classifications there are not many differences between them. With regard to the agronomic values of the Soils both soil scientists and traditional farmers are almost in total agreement. The only differences that occur are due to the fact that the soil scientist bases agronomic values on the ranges of possibilities offered by the soils and climate while the traditional farmer, in addition, considers the culture of the area. For food production to be increased, soil scientists and extension officers must be conversant with traditional farmers' classification and perception, so as to be effective in transferring scientific knowledge to the farmers.

Description:: Deviant driving behaviour and the effect on traffic in Accra is examined. The evidence is inconclusive but seems to suggest that the person behind the wheel is responsible for a substantial number of the traffic problems reported on roads in the city. There is also reason to believe that traffic management and control in the city needs to be stepped up and that this should be approached from the perspective of the road user. However, all these have to be preceded by the collection of data on driver behaviour covering both the individual and a broad spectrum of the wider environment so that the extent of the problem of deviant driving behaviour in the city can be put into proper perspective.
