Judging is based on personality, intelligence, poise, ability to meet people' and to talk before groups, as well as appearance. The Maid of Cqtton contest is not a beauty competition in the ordinary sense. The tour of the Uinted States is highlighted by stops in all princi pal cities in the 18-cotton-producing stales- Also included on the list of citifcs are two European appear ances. On March 16 Miss Nail is scheduled to appear in Paris, Fiance, and on March 22 at Man chester, England. Securing Miss Nail for her ap pearance here was one of the tasks tak^n on by the Agronomy Society and members of the agronomy de- partjment faculty to make the Cot ton | Ball the outstanding social function of the year.
