Anhydrous ammonia has about

fertilizer will provide so pounds
of nitrogen per ere. Amonnium
nitrate is 1870 and it will take
$50 pounds of fertilizer to supply
the same amount.
A mixed fertilizer like m

To supply the same amount of

THE COUNCILS VIEW
Joan should, realize that her

Many teen-age boys and girls
exaggerate some physical defect,
or imagined one. as q symbol for
their general feelings Of in
adequancy in social relation

opposite sex. The nose Is one
of the most popular Of those
physical symbols.
Joan should realize that she Il
not in a position to be objective
about her appearance at this
time. She ought to know that
her parents want her to look
attractive and they are better
able to Judge her appearance
than she is. Her mothers verdict
that the nose is nothing to
make such a fuss about" is likely
to be correct.
Another thing Joan should
consider is the fact that her face
lis still changing. 1t will take q
few years for her facial proper
tons to stabilize themselves. Al
that time. it is very likely that
her nose will be much less prom
Iinent. A nose operation at this
time could distort her appear
ance when she Is older. Joan
should also consider the fact that
not all nose operations are a.
successful as anticipated. A
changed nose is not always ar
improvement.
Nevertheless, Joan's parents
should realize that her troubles

They should not restrict her so.
