explained M. K. Derrick assistant manager of the fertilizer .department, “so we built this plant. “We had been buying our fertilizer from a private manufacturer at Cincinnati, but it cost too much to truck the fertilizer to the far corners of the state. And by doing our own manufacturing we guarantee our members fertilizer at cost.” Fifteen persons will begin work tomorrow, but as production gets underway the payroll will be increased until 75 are employed at the peak seasons, Mr. Derrick said. Shuttle Conveyors Used The plant is a one-story steel and concrete structure, 75 feet high with 40,000 square feet of floor space. Cat-walks will run along the conveyors -which are between 35 and 40 feet above the floor. The chief new feature of the plant is the use of shuttle conveyors which distribute fertilizer over the plant at overhead levels. All machinery is electrically operated. Approximately 40 different grades of fertilizer, all approved by the Purdue University Agriculture Extension Department, will. be manufactured. The fertilizer will be trucked to the farms of the bureau's members at an estimated cost of $25 per ton. Nitrogen, phosphoric acid, potash and tobacco stems will be used in manufacturing the fertilizer. There will be very little odor, Mr. Derrick

He said that at its last convention, the organization “went on record condemning fascism, naziism and dictatorships, but particularly evade the issue of the Communist Party by stating that the Communist Party is not under a dictatorship,” “Since you state you have been
