The number of lots in which he owns an interest will be de termined by the number of diterent kinds or grades of cotton prodIuced by him. For example, if the grow ers bdlonging to the association pro duce ten thousand hales of good mid <Iling and one of the members, John Doe, produces on1e hundred bales of that ten thousand, then .Joh1n Doe in pooling trades in hlis hun! ridred bales and receives a one percent interest in the eitire pool of ten thousand bales. The pools are made up of cotton be longing only to growers who are members of the association. Pooling gives each grower certain advalntages, which are explained below. Advantage of Pooling I Pooling gives the grower the advantage of accurate grading. 2 Pooling gives the grower the novantage to be gained from selling cotton in large even-running lots. The work of assembling cotton inl such lots is now done by middlemen, but 'he association would do it through pooling *at cost, thus cutting out one or two middlemen. 3 Pooling gives the grower the Sverage price received for cotton, less costs of operating the association. This may be regarded by some as an advantage and by others as a disad vantage, depending on whether the iarticular grower fears that he will -1 his own cottoln on the lowest mia r ket of the year or is confident that he will be able io pick the Lime of high es t rices. It must be generally con ceded, however, that growers cannot determine beforehand the lbest time to sell, andi that by aver'aging the piric' at 'etalin mu touniit of gal ing ti is taken out iof the selling operation. 4 Piiolintg itmke's it poss5ile( for gr'ower's to~ market t heir I'ot ton in an ordlerly way over a lionge'r periodi of tinie and thus saves the losses inur' red ini duminiig most oft the crop1 in I our mton ths. 8 - '.iPilliog (eimblIes thle growi'e's tot selves in thei. sellinog of the crop.

Of course you'll have to be in good health, at least nineteen years old and have finishe dhigh school before a first rate hospital training school will accept you. But once you are accept ed for your three year's of training you will find yourself in a fascinating .world of helpfulness. There is so much to leart and so much to do in a hospital. The pupil nurse has the joy of feeling needed. lndeed she is needed. And the train ing school that is interested inl giving her back to the world for a life of happy service will see to it that she gets experience, lectures, diversion, uniforms and living and in addition $8.00 or $10.00 a month to pay for text books and incidentals. But if you want to be sure of a first rate training school, write for infor matio nto IIeadquarters National Nursing Association, 156 Fifth Avenue, New York City or to the Nursing Service, Southern Division, American Red Cross, 249 Ivy Street, Atlanta, Georgia. Once out of training variety of work lies ahead. Hospitals want graduates as superintenidents and in structors of nurses and as heads of the operating rooms and there is al ways a demand for private nurses, but the Nurse Who Keeps People Well is nleeded l most of all. We call her at Public lealth Nurse. The children in school drink milk lie cause she says it will help them to get stronger aInd they brush their teeth the funny new way she has taught them. She teaches the moth ers how to take care of their babies, she shows them how to take care of the family when they get sick and how to keep the flies and mosquitoes away so that they won't get sick. The boy scouts clean up the town and children take part in a health play for this happy woman, the Nurse Who Keep People Well. What are you going to do, girlsd?

In the apring cut wnrms attack almost any kind of young plant that an be eaten, feeding at night only ating foliage, cutting off leaves and items, and hiding in the loose earth or under rubbish during ,the day. Upon going into the ground, the worm sometimes pulls a leaf with it partially burying it. As grassy lands or fields covered with weeds are most liable to harbor eut worms, such land, if intended for corn or other plants that furnish food for cut worms, should have been plowed the preceding season. At this time perhaps the most bffee tive control method is in the use of poisoned bait, also known as poison ed bran mash or bran bait. This is made as follows: "Thoroughly mix 50 pounds of bran, two pounds of either paris green, arsenate of lead or calcium arsenate and three finely Lhopped lemons. Stir it to a damp mash with four to seven gallons of water sweetened with one-half gallon of low grade miolasses. Sow sparing. ly around the bases of ptlts or broadcast over the field.
