St. Edward'* Crown
St. Edward's crown was made
for the Coronation of Charles II

construction in 1662 and the
Crowni of the realm with which
the King is crowned as King of
England.

By H. P. Smith, Chief, Division

Results of the fertilizer place-
ment and soil disturbance studies
at the Texas Agricultural Experi-
ment Station indicate that dis-
turbing tlhe soil under the seed
to apply fertilzed is not good
practice, because lower stands aiv
thereby obtained than where the
fertilizer is applied to the side and
below the seed level without dis-
turbing the soil under the seed.
In fact, considerably better
yields as well as better stands of
cotton were secured by the side
placement of the fertilizer. The
fcest lesiults were secured when
the fertilizer was placed 2 inches
to the side and 2 inches below
the seed level. Where the ferti-
lizer wasi placed to one side only,
the result was almost as good a.-
when placed at both sides. Thes>
experiments' show also that the
soil disturabnee is one of the prir.
cipal lighting influences on germ-
ination inasmuch as in those
tests where the soil was disturbed
v/ithout placing any fertilizer, thc-
stands were not so good as where
the fertilizer was applied in the
process showing that the ferti-
lizer so placea is somewhat 'bene
ficial to the germination. On the
contrary in those tests where the
disturbance of the soil was un-
derneath the seed, the fertilize?
tended to reduce the stand as
against the check where the soil
was disturbed without I'pacing the
fertilizer. These results clearly
indicate that tho applications of
fertilizer made below the seed
are not efficient.
Other experiments show tihat
for the best uJe of fertilizer the
application should be made at
time of planting. Hence, it is es-
sential that the application be
made to the side and well below
the seed| level in order to avoid
disturbing the firm seedbed
which is necessary for a good
stand.

State And

Debts Higher
Debts of State and local govern-
ments amounted to $20,226,000,-
000 In 1940, according to a re-
port of the Census Bureau shortly
to be issued by Acting Director
Vergil D. Rieed.
This represents an increase of
only $663,000,000 in eight years,
compared with an expansion of
$9,307,000,000, or 9>1 per cent, in
the same type of debt during the
decade ending in 1932.
Despite the increase of 3.4 per
cent in State and local govern-
ment debt between 1932 and
19-10, .the effective weight of this
debt decreased in terms of popu-
lation and national income. That
is, State and local debt did not
increase so fast as either popula-
tion or income. The per capita
burden of such debt is today less
than $164, compared with $167
in '1932, a decrease of 2.2 per
cent. The ratio of such debt per
capita to income per capita in
creased 44 per cent in these
eight years.
Adding the $154 per capita
share of State and local govern-
ment debt to .the $326 per capita
share of Federal debt in 1940.
the total government debt per ^
capita was $480 in 1940. This
(does not include recent additions
to the Federal debt as' a result
jf the defense1 program.
The per capita share of al!
public debt is, therefore, prepond-
erantly Federal, wheras a recent
analysis by .the Census Bureau or
the tax .payments showed that the
tax burden was prepondantly
State and local. Of the total tax
Dili of $109 per capita in 1940.
State and local governments
shared to the extent of $70 while
the Federal government got $39,
and even a portion of that $39
was passed on to State and local
governments through Federal
grants. •
