Luxembourg, Feb. 8.—U. S. Sec
retary of State John Foster Dulles
ended his swing through seven West
ern European states today with a
warning they must unite or be en
gulfed in war.
Climaxing his nine-day foreign
policy survey which began a week
ago Saturday in Rome, the secretary
urged Schuman Plan officials to
push on to greater unification if they

through November will be about
$100,000, he said.
States participating in the pro
gram will send either men or mon
ey to the three states bordering
Texas, the Louisiana commissioner
explained, basing their share of the
costs on 1 1-2 cents for each bale of
cotton their states produced
season.
In addition, the confer.*es agreed,
the Federal government will be
asked to share half the cost of the
control program by making new
funds available to the U. S., Depart
ment of Agriculture’s Bureau of
last' Entomology and Plant Quarantine.
The stations, seven of which
were established by Louisiana last
season, are to inspect all cars and
trucks and cotton-pi eking equip

tourists and pickers from carrying
the pink bolliworm into non-infest-
ed areas.
Delegates to the conference are
college extension workers on the
staffs of experiment stations; coun

leaders.

“The American people and our
government are convinced that
world peace can be safeguarded only

actions” which would lead to a “fu

of continual strife.

Top-dzess Grain
EARLY
For Big Yields!
Small Grain crops need nitrogen earfy, to make vigorous
growth and produce abundant yields. In the late winter or early
spring — just before growth starts — top-dress each acre with
100 to 300 pounds of ARCADIAN*, the American Nitrate of
Soda. ARCADIAN Nitrate of Soda is the genuine, old reliable
Soda many thousands of
farmers have used for many
years. It contains 16% or
more nitrogen, all-soluble,
quick-acting and immedi-*
ately available. Early top-
dressing with ARCADIAN
Nitrate of Soda makes grain
