Graduate Students Receive Fellowships NORCROSS, Ga. Five out standing graduate students have been announced as the 1993 win ners of the “J. Fielding Reed PPI Fellowships” by the -Potash & Phosphate Institute (PPI). Grants of $2,000 each are pre sented to the individuals. All are candidates for either the master's or doctorate degree in soil fertility and related sciences. The 1993 recipients were cho sen from nearly 40 applicants who sought the fellowships. • Thomas W. Bruulsema was bom in Hamilton, Ontario, Cana da. He received his bachelor’s in agriculture, honours program. A MACHINE FOR ALL SEASONS No matter what the task or season, Kubota's mid-sized tractors have the versatility and implements to handle the job. Like our B-50 Series tractors that come with liquid-cooled diesel engines, 2 or 4-wheel drive, quick attach implements and a powerful 13-20 PTO HP.

Hamer was bom in Bedford, Ind. He received his bachelor’s at Purdue University in 1991 and is presently in a master’s program, also at Purdue. He was chosen as the outstanding senior in agronomy, was the recipient of the Continental Grain scholarship, among others, and was a Distin guished Student seven of his eight undergraduate semesters.

He earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Brigham Young University (BYU) where he served as Presi dent of the Agronomy Club. Among his honors at BYU was the selection of his research for the outstanding M.S. thesis award by the BYU Sigma-Xi Scientific Research Society. He is in the first year of his doctorate program at the University of Missouri. His dissertation research will be con ducted as a part of the Missouri Management Systems Evaluation Area (MSEA) water quality pro ject. His work will focus on the assessment of the impacts of con ventional and alternative systems Missouri on grain production, nitrogen use efficien cy and nitrogen losses over daypan landscapes. Fol lowing his graduate study, David would like to serve as an ASA-CSSA-SSSA Congressional Fel low. He plans a career in soil fertility research and instruction, is interested in international work and, eventually, land grant university administration. • Bryan A. Kliewer is working toward his mas ter’s at North Carolina State University. Bom in Henderson, Neb., he received his bachelor’s from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. He has won many honors, including the Westinghouse Talent Search award, being one of only 40 students in the U.S. selected who were ‘best fitted for promising careers in science.’ The title of his thesis is “Response of Soil Denitrification Rates to Water Table Management” The objective of his research is to quantify denitrification losses associated with water table management and to evaluate the time course behavior of nitrous oxide emissions from poorly drained soils managed with water control structures. Bryan places strong emphasis on scho larship and, as a scholar, plans to pursue further gra duate work, then a career in soil fertility and ground water management and conservation. • Karen Lowell completed her undergraduate study at Allegheny College in Meadville, Pa; she is in the second year of a master’s program in agro nomy at the University of Maryland. After her undergraduate studies, she served as a Peace Corps volunteer in Sierra Leone, West Africa. Her work there as an agriculture extension agent led to inter ests in soil fertility, and ways in which research and technology from developed nations can be of use in the developing world. Her thesis is titled “Use of Reduced S to Enhance Bioavailability of P in Pho sphate Rock.” The fellowship winners are selected by a commit tee of PPI scientists. The fellowships are named in honor of Dr, J. Fielding Reed, retired president of the institute, who now lives in Athens, Ga. Nitrate Test as Basis for Nitrogen Recommendations on Corn in Indiana.” The main objectives of his research are to develop corre lation and calibration data for the test, based on climatic conditions, soil types and management prac tices common to Indiana. Making use of soil and tissue sampling and a chlorophyll meter, Kevin hopes to develop recommendations based on a broad data base. After completing his master’s degree, he plans a career in field crop research or agronomic services in the seed or fertilizer industry. 7 CLOSED SUNDAYS, NEW YEAR, EASTER MONDAY, ASCENSION DAY, WHY MONDAY, OCT. 11, THANKSGIVING, f ttINITTIE CHRISTMAS I DECEMBER 26TH.
