Hi there:
the following is info i picked from the Nov. 9 issue of 'Agronomy News'
which was put out at last weeks' meetings of the Am. Soc. of Agronomy,
Soil Science Soc. of America (SSSA), and the Crop Science Society of
America.
i met one of the organizers of the upcoming International Congress of
Soil Science (ICSS) and promised i was going to pass on the info about
an offer to subsidize registration costs for graduate students and
retirees.

in the 'Agronomy News'. feel free to pass the info on.

ICSS offers reduced cost registration
The organizing committee of the 1994 International Congress of Soil
Science is offering a limited number of reduced-cost registrations to
full-time graduate students and retired scientists. The committee is
making the $200 registration on a first-come, first-served basis for the
10 to 16 July congress in Acapulco, Mexico.
Those taking advantage of the special offer would not receive conference
proceedings. Preference would be given to retired peer professionals and
graduate students presenting papers, although all retireds and full-time
graduate students may apply.
Candidates should send a letter of request or a short (up to two pages)
vitae by 31 Dec. 1993 to:
David M. Kral
ICSS Special Registration Fee
677 S. Segoe Rd.
Madison WI 53711-1806
Grad students should have their major advisors certify their full-time
status and indicate whether they are presenting papers at the congress.
The SSSA Executive Committee will screen applicants and notify the ICSS
organizing commitee of the successful applicants.
SSSA President Darrell Nelson, President-Elect Larry Wilding, and Past
President William McFee request maximum assistance in spreading the word on
this late-breaking matter.
