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.
Schedules for basketball, baseball
and track also were arranged at the
conference, but these have not been
given out as yet.
W. L. Driver, athletic director, W.
J. Young and A. C. Love, who also
attended the Dallas meeting, were
expected to return to College yester-
day afternoon late or this morning.

STOCK JUDGING
TEAM RETURNS
The stock judging team form A.
and M. 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.

TREATING PLANT

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:
