This meeting’ was called to find out I how many men are interested in ten- nis and who would lend their sup- 4 port toward building up that sport ~ at this College.

Such should not be the case, and we ascribe this onesided- ness in our athletics to the fact that there has been no organized effort to promote tennis and to the short- for the purpose of building courts.

Nash, Feder- al Co-ordinator. These have come through the en- couragement given them by other Federal Students who have been training here since September, and who have advertised to them the benefits to be derived, and the pleas- ure of pursuing a course of instruc- tion here. Mr. Nash says he is find- ing that Federal Board. training is becoming increasingly popular all over the country. Due, no doubt to the recommendations given by those who have been benefitted by it. Many of these students as well as other discharged soldiers who are eligible for extra compensation be- cause of disablement are receiving a considerable bonus from the Govern- ment now, under the provisions of the Sweet Bill which has recently be- come effective. All those who have heretofore received less than $80 are being paid the total difference be- tween the amount they have received and the amount they would have re- from the time they were discharged from the army until accepting train- ing under the Federal Board. In the future single men will receive $80 per month, married men $115 with an allowance of $10 for each child. A number of the Federal students are this week receiving single checks for amounts as high as $400. ENTOMOLOGIST TO GALVESTON ON COMMISSION H. J. Reinhard Will Attend Meetings of the Pink Boll Worm Com- mission This Week The Pink Boll Worm Commission will give a public hearing in Gal- veston, Thursday, January 15th, and at Alvin, Friday, January 16th. It is the purpose of this Com- mission to determine from the hear- ings already heard at Houston and Liberty and those of this week whether the quarantine regulations now in force in Southeast Texas shall be retained or modified. This Commission has a most dif- ficult task to perform. To protect the cotton industry of the State, it must enforce strict quarantine and declare and maintain zones in whica no cotton can be raised.

At the invitation of Director B. Youngblood of the Experiment Sta- tion, President W. B. Bizzell met there with the specialists in research of the Station Wednesday evening for the purpose of devising ways and means of popularizing and visualiz- ing their work. Those who attended were: Director B. Youngblood, President W. B. Biz- zell, A. B. Connor, Vice-Director; A. H. Leidigh, Agronomist, J. J. Tau- benhaus, Plant Pathologist, H. J. Reinhard, Entomologist, E. P. Hum- bert, Chief Plant Breeding, H. M. Eliot, Chief Farm and Ranch Eco- nomics. The chief discussion of the even- ing related to the importance of cot- ton as the money crop of the South and the corresponding importance of the specialists of the Station Staff devoting particular study to this pro- duct, with the purpose of not only discovering the principles underlying production but to go one step further apply this knowledge and produce varieties of cotton best adapted to the country. Summarily the expert services of the Station specialists, the agronomist, plant breeder, entomolo- gist, plant pathologist, and farm eco- nomist were enlisted in a coordinated effort to produce the best adapted variety of cotton plant for the coun- try. : Dr. Bizzell stated that in his opin- ion a much more difficult problem was to be solved in popularizing agri- : cultural research, than the closely re- lated departments of teaching and extension work, because of the fact that the research man is laboring be- hind the screen, figuratively speaking, lin the field or laboratory, while the extension man and the teacher is be- fore the audience. So he suggested that they also show the people what they were doing, by growing a pro- duct according to research principles of culture and offering it to the peo- ple for cultivation, to have photo- graphs and diagrams of progress in research work for graphical illustra-. tion on the subject; to memorize for instant use terse statements well re- lated and descriptive; and to sufficient to make a good ten minute talk anytime, so as to emphasize on appropriate occasions the importance of the work under discussion, partic-. ularly for asking appropriations. is done the farmers of these sections where no cotton is to be raised.
