I The NORTH CAROLINA EXPERIMENT STATION recommends top-dressing cotton with 50 to 100 pounds of MURIATE or 125 to 250 pounds of KAINIT per acre on fields which have shown heavy Rust damage in the patft and where the complete fertilizer treatment contained only 3% potash. The recommendation is made in a recent news release which describes a series of tests in which " plats receiving the additional amount of potash produced larger yields, heavier seed, heavier bolls, more lint per seed, better grade, longer staple, stronger fibers and a higher percentage of normal fibers. Rust damage, on plats receiving no additional potash, lowered the yield and reduced the quality of the fiber to such an extent as to lower the value of the crop $15 to $25 per acre/' The Station selected fields of three farms which had shown severe Rust damage. One standard variety of cotton was planted in 1935 and 1936. At planting each field received 400 pounds of complete fertilizer containing 3% potash, common to the practice of the area. The fields were divided into plats and certain plats were given additional potash at chopping. The results of these tests prompted the above recommendation. N. V.

Father John Lynch, Fordham univers-' ity seismologist, believes. Earth tremors may be forecast Just like weather, enabling occupants of areas doomed thus to be afficted to evacuate the danger zones, ho said today. ! Admitting that the science of seismology had yet to advance a long way before this point were reached, Father Lynch nevertheless believes progress is being made. The Fordham seismologist, working in his laboratory at the university, redoubling his efforts to trace the origin of tremblors, following the recent Ohio .valley and west coast quakes, has evolved a theory which he says may explain this latest series of earth movements in the United States. He believes that weakening of the earth's crust through saturation by great floods which preceded the Ohio valley earthquakes may have been responsible for disturbances in the mid-, die west.

I "The floods certainly could hare been a contributing factor," Father Lynch said. "An earthquake is a tod. den slipping of the earth's crust. By seeping through to soften permeable, layers beneath the top soil the water could have been the cause of the u& der layers to give way. j "In this particular region there hat been a constant resettling of lb earth's crust since the mile-thick gl* iers covering it some 25,000 years a# receded northward. J x "The removal of the iremendow pressure of the glacier naturally ra lieved the strain on the earth beneath them with a resultant expansion of the hard packed crust." CleanUp!
