are on cotton, one' on soils, and
one on crops. No academic credit
is given to the student making
the trip.
The 1948 Cotton Tour began June

Delta Experiment Station and the

to supply anhydrous ammonia to

representative of the .American
Cotton Council, explained thc func-;
tion of the cotton council after a
; dinner at the Mayflower Hotel.
At Marcus Hooks, Pennsylvania,
the American Viscose Corporation
was toujred and proved to be very
interesting, since rayon is the chief
competitor of cotton. Even after
seeing the manufacture of rayon,
the gropp decided that cotton can
hold its own against rayon qF
though tjhc price of cotton may have
to fall a few cents for it to do sd.
The four days in New York
City passed too swiftly for the
group. W. J. Jung, member of
Andcrspn, Clayton Company, took
the group through the New York
Cot top; Exchange and the Stock
Exchange, and he made and ex-
plained actual transactions to
the group. Other places of in-
tcrest ' were Chase National
Bank, Marine Midland Trust
Company, Empire State Build
ing, i Radio City, Harlem, the

BoWery. Chinatown, and Staten
Island.
f After! leaving New York City
j the members of the tour spent two
days in Quebec, Canada. There
everything sien was of interest.

He said the examination 1 should
