Future Farmers Study Fertilizers According to Cecil Kirkley, president of the Mt. Pisgnh Future Farmers chapter of America, three projects will be carried on by the students of vocational agriculture to demonstrate the economy of nitrogen side-dressing. These projects have been arranged through the coperation of the Chilean 'Nitrate LducationaT Bureau of New ^ ork, an organization which for many years has been active in promoting more economical fertilizer practices throughout the South.

Options' Replace I Reduced Cotton! .? t'lemson College, June* 24.?Those } rowers w ho cooperate to remove u { part of their cotton from production this sea an may be assured that they wilt have as much cotton to sell this full as if no part of their present crpp had been removed from cultivation. Fears have been expressed by some growers that should they reduce their acreage, other growers might not do so and would benefit to a greater degree under the operations of the act. "It will not work this way in actual practice," says C. A. Cobb, cotton production administrator under ttye Act. lie explains this by pointing out that, for instance, (f a grower reduce* his production this year by say ten bales .this grower \yill bo paid a fair price for the land so removed from the cultivation of cotton. In addition, he will be given an option on ten bales of Government cotton at a price I of six cents a pound. This option | costs him nothing1 and if the price goes down, the farmer has no obligation in the matter but if it goes up, he receives the benefit of the increased price. In this way, the cooperating far mer will have just as much cotton to ! sell this full as he would have had normally, and is saved the expense of cultivating, harvesting, ginning and marketing the part removed from cultivation. He will also receive an immediate cash rental payment on the land removed from cotton production and ill have the crop produced on his remaining acreage to sell on the open market. This then absolutely protects the cooperating grower from any loss, guarantees to him a normal amount of cotton to sell this fall, and allows him to havo a part in reducing the surplus which is tho cause of so much ! distress on cotton farms at the pros ent time. 3uch u proposition, belives Mr. (\>bb, should be attractive to any grower especially since it pu*y be the means of restoring the buying power of the entire Cotton Belt. A hospital at Kvunaton, Ind., has changed from its old methods of ! charging for service there to a Hat rate basis. The patient knows in advance just what his stay for all services, room, board, nursing, operation, etc., is going to cost.
