A i ama, THE DAILY BULLETIN mani YA ANA PN & — OE at College Station, Tuesday, December 9, 1919 Number 71 Vol 3. RETURNS FROM NAT'L CONVENTION Frederick D. Fuller, Chief of Div- ision of Feed Control has just return- ed from the Annual Convention of The Association of Feed Control Offi- cials’ of the United States held in Washington, D. C., November 21. Mr. Fuller stated that this was one of the most important conven- tions held by the association from the fact that many topics of national im- portance were discussed at this meet- ing, chief among which was probably the one relating to a bill now pending in the United States Congress requir- ing the labeling of all feeding stuffs entering interstate commerce. One of the main provisions of this bill requires the manufacturers of feeds to state on the package or tag attached to such package a statement showing the percentage of each in- gredient of a mixed feed, inasmuch as the Texas Feed Law makes the same requirement in connection with the sale of feeds containing certain low grade materials. “I am very much in sympathy with this feature of the bill now before congress’, he said. Before attending the Washington convention he was called to Chicago to offer testimony in regard to operation of the Texas Feed Law and the methods used in its administration. At this convention he was re-elected a member of the Legislative Commit- tee of the association; and was also continued as a member of another committee to study definitions for cottonseed products and rice. This committee was formed a year ago and made a report at this meet- ing of the convention suggesting cer- tain changes in the names for “prime” cottonseed meal and “good” cotton- seed meal, with the end in view of raising the standard of these pro- ducts. “We reccomended that the grade “prime” be labeled “medium grade”, and the grade “good” be changed to “low grade” cotonseed meal.” The committee was continued for another year and was instructed to study further and in their study to give the manufacturers of cottonseed products an opportunity to be heard in reference to the proposed changes. Mr. Fuller stated that the manufac- turers would be called in conference sometime next year and would dis- cuss the changes.

FOOTBALL GAMES ARE SCHEDULED The football schedule for A. and M. for the next season, as arranged by the Southwestern Conference of- ficials at their meeting in Dallas Saturday, is one of the hardest the Aggies have faced in several years. Coach Bible, who returned Sun- day night from the conference ad- mits it is a “stiff” schedule, but the twinkle in his eye was just a little merrier than usual when he said yes- terday that he was confident the Ag- gies would repeat their victory of 1917 and 1919 again next year, Nine games have been scheduled for the Aggies, five of which are to be played at Kyle Field. The sea- sons opens on September 24 with a game with Southwestern tentatively arranged for. On October 1 the Farmers will clash with T.C.U., also at College Station, and on the ninth will journ- ey to Dallas to meet S. M. U. A battle royal is expected with Louis- iana State here on October 15, and also on the following week, when the Farmers are to play either Phil- lips or Arkansas. The annual clash with Oklahoma Aggies will be staged at Stillwater on October 30 and with Baylor at Waco on November 6. On November 15, just ten days before the A. and M.-State University game at Austin, the Aggies will play the Rice Institute Owls at Kyle Field.

College whieh carried off first honors at the International stock Judging Contest in Chicago last week returned to College Station Sunday and most of their time yes- Live- terday was taken up in receiving congratulations from everyone with whom they came in contaet. The team, admittedly, is proud of the record it has made; it certainly has put Texas on the map in the livestock world. But the pride of the team does not exceed the pride if W. L. Stangel who coached the team and, in the final analysis, is re- sponsible for the victory. Stangel is a graduate of A. and M., class of ’15, and although he was a member of the team for two years, he was never privileged to take part in an international contest, as no contests were held either year he was on the team. Through years of hard study he has brought himself into a position where he can turn out a winning team and the College, in fact all Texas, is justly proud of what he has done. The following account of the vie- tory won by the Texas team is clipped from The Chicago “Tribune” and was written by Frank Ridgway. It tells just “how it all happened:” “With a close margin of sixteen points Texas A. and M. won the stu- dents’ cattle judging contest at the International Livestock Exposition. There was a remarkable battle be- tween the Lone Star state team and the University of Nebraska boys. “Eighteen colleges were in the | struggle for high honors, each hav- ing a team of five students. “Following are the detailed re- sults: Texas, score of 4,119; Ne- braska, 4,103; Kansas, 4,059; Iowa State, 4,057; Purdue 3,946; Min- nesota, 3,909; Oklahoma, 3,899} Ohio State, 3,859; Missouri, 3,811; North Dakota, 3,767; Penn State 3,754; Manitoba 3,720; Wisconsin, 3,677; Kentucky, 3,643; Ontario, 3,366; South Dakota, 3,353; Arkan- sas, 3,291; and McDonald, 3,221. “Each team was required to judge all four of the principal kinds of livestock—cattle, herses, Togs and sheep. : “Here are the ten highest individ- ual scores in the contest: burg, Nebraska, 889; Garlock, Okla- homa, 878; Moulton, Nebraska, 878; Sims, Purdue, 872; Brazie, Iowa, 869; Thompson, Kansas, 862; Pear- Kansas, 859; Kappins, Ne- braska, 851; Keiffer, Oklahoma, 851; Burns, Texas, 848.” The A. and M. team made the fol- lowing record on judging the dif- ferent kinds of stock: first on horses, first on hogs and second on cattle. Burns made the highest score on judging hogs, and was also tenth in the individual contests. Weid- | TREATING PLANT T0 BE INSTALLED Director B. Youngblood of the Ex- periment Station is werking out plans with E. O. Siecke, Head of the Div- ision of Forestry for is talling a treating plant for treati.r fence posts. Ba Mr. Youngblood stated # + anaoei- fications for ti made and as soon as (he pleted orders would be equipment. The posts will be treate! with ereo- sote, using what is called the open The posts will be submerged in cold creo- RIF 16ls tank or non pressure system. sote and then heated to a tempera- ture of two hundred and twenty de- greds and then be allowed to cooi again. This process will result it having the posts absorbing enough of the cresote to prevent decay. a itr The heat for the plant will be sup- plied through steam coils attached tao a small boiler. The first object of the plant is te treat posts used on the Experimen: Station and in addition to this worl it is planned to treat quite a numbe of posts from different varieties o trees obtained from the College land and from points in East Texas. A number of posts of the differen species after being treated will be placed in the ground and records wil be kept as to their durability. Chec. tests, using untreated posts of th same species also will be conducte so as to determine the number c years ite added to each species o posts bythe treatment process. Mr. Siecke stated that the people of Texas use more fence post mater- ial than is used by the people of # other state in the United States consequently experiments alor line will be of interest to a many people, and especially tc stockmen and farmers genera. The plant will be located nea: fii: and Breede | Station.
