Friday, Nor. 14-1 Cbe ClarfonLetgtt 7 v. COTTON PICKING TIPS THE MECHANICAL WAY STATE COLLEGE Operators of mechanical cotton harvesters can help to reduce the trouble that some gins are currently having with a small amount of green cotton, according to Clyde P. Bryson, specialist in cotton mechanization and ginning of the Cooperative Extension Service. "When harvesting cotton that will have to be picked again, the pressure plates of the harvesters should be loose enough to leave most of this extra green cotton in the field for the next picking," he says.

"This will also reduce the number of bolls knocked to the ground. Pickers should also be adjusted to have the minimum amount of spindle twist," he adds. This harvesting sason has been unusual in several ways, Mr. Bryson points out. Yields are good on most farms, and farmers are attempting to harvest as much as possible the first picking.

Perhaps 95 to 98 percent of the cotton has needed little or no drying. This was drouth stressed cotton that opened early. In other fields, harvesting began when many bolls had just opened, or had not opened at all. So the small amount of green cotton would cause the gins to choke unless sufficient heat was used to dry it. The end result of this situation la a bale of overdried cotton.

There are no special com Education Pays Dividends" the theme for the 1964 observance (Nov. 8-14) of American Education Week and the official who represents Mississippi in the policy-making council of the National Education Association (NEA) can prove it Representing the 903,000 classroom teachers, principals, professors, superintendents and specialist teachers in their states, members of the NEA board of directors point out that besides the purely financial dividends education may bring to the student and his community, it can bring others, less tangible perhaps but nonetheless real.

The Mississippi member of the NEA board of directors Is C. a a superintendent of schools in Amory. The NEA directors declare that the individual student may tarn more money as his educational level Increases, and the governments of which he is a citizen may thus be strengthened through his increased financial capacity to pay taxes. But, they add, education can also bring the individual a sense of more fully his intellectual powers, in understanding the facts and philosophies of the world, in appreciating its culture. And through these changes, they point out, education can help turn the individual into a more active and effective citizen thereby benefitting the entire nation.

But the tangible dividends are indicated by these facts: The better an individual's education the more he produces, the more he buys and consumes, the more he reads, the more active he is in civic and national affairs, the higher his standard of living.
