ty-sixth annual report of the Agrl-
cultural Experiment station at
State college, which was recently
released By DR.. L. D. Baver, d.
rector of the station.
Fertilizer placed under the seed
produced 6O4 pounds of seed cot
ton per acre at the Upper Coastal
Plain station in 1913, whereas the
placement of fertilizer in bands
two inches to each side of the seed
gave 1,O31 pounds, and placements
in bands one inch to each side OF
the seed gave 1,157 pounds the
report pointed out.
Placement of fertilizer not only
greatly affected final yields but it
also had a marked effect on the
number of plants. A count of cotton
plants one week before chopping
showed that the plots in which the
fertilizer was placed by either OF
the band methods to have twice as
many plants as those plots with
the fertilizer beneath the seed. cat

report said.
The chief effect of placement Of
fertilizer on stands is related tc
the amounts of soluble salts in the
root zone. Measurements of the
amount of soluble salts in the
root zone at chopping time show
ed in the "under-the-seed'' place
ment there were so per cent more
soluble salts present than in eithel
of the other two treatments.
Fertilizers containing both Low
and high amounts of soluble salt
were tested in the experiments
One week before chopping, IS pc

zers.
In 1943 there was little differenc,
in the yields of cotton from tn
fertilizers containing low and hig
amounts of soluble salts.
In si6edressing cotton, tn
amount of nitrogen was found t.
be more important than its source
Sixteen pounds of nitrogen, use
as a sidedressing, increased cottol
yields on Norfolk sand, Norfol
sandy loan, and Marlboro fin
sandy loan in the Coastal Plair
On the first two soil types, ammo
mum nitrate and the nitrogen soll
ton produced somewhat highe
yields than did nitrate of soda.
"A possible explanation is tina
the heavy rains falling in June an

On the Marlboro fine sandy loan

two weeks. The ATSC did not dis

vandenberg Pushes Fight
TO Freeze Security Tax

By the Associated Press.
Senator Vandenberg, Republican,
of Michigan, says his proposal to
freeze present Social Security taxes
has absolutely nothing to do with
the expansion of social security
coverage or of old-age benefits"
Senator Vandenberg is heading
fight to prevent, by congressional ac-
ton, the automatic doubling Of So
cial security taxes on January J.,
1945. He took his arguments to the
public in a speech broadcast over
CHS last night.
He said:
This payroll tax question has
absolutely nothing to do with the
expansion of social security cover
age or of old-age benefits. I favor
broad expansion of coverage and an
equitable increase in benefits, par
ticularly in the lower brackets. II
and when this occurs payroll taxes
must increase in proportion. That's
something else. This problem today
is solely what payroll taxes shall be
paid for today's benefits.
IF the tax doubles In January no
worker will get penny's additional
benefit. Yet have been pilloried,
in this fight, as opposing better and
broader social security. Instead I
am simply opposing doubled taxes on
"a, 100000 workers and their em-
ployers to pay for existing benefits.
These payroll taxes deal only
with old-age insurance. They have
absolutely nothing to do with other
parts of the social security system"
