IS MANIFESTED
IN TENNIS CLUB
: Students and Officers Get Together
and Talk Over Plans for Having
More Tennis Here
The secretary of the committee
| 3 appointed to promote interest in ten-
nis makes the following report of
iE: the meeting Wednesday:
In spite of the bad weather and
the occurrence of so many exami-
nations seventy-three men were pres-
ent at a meeting of tennis players in
12:30.
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.
Although this num-
p- ber seems large, it is believed that
~ some cause or other,
~ that there are a number of ‘Profs”
~~ here who support tennis.

come out, for
and it is known
As everyone knows and admits,
tennis is a much neglected 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. We believe that a
~ minimum of four properly construct-
‘not known at A. and M.
; ~ that material can be developed here

other schools in the state.
- many here who would like to see in-
| ed, well drained courts should be
built and cared for at this College.
Other schools in the state even of
{ 4 much smaller size than A. and M.
have us far outclassed in tennis.
Intercollegiate tennis is a thing

At the meeting Wednesday, which
. is considered only preliminary to the
ft formal organization of a tennis club,
a committee was selected to see the
proper authorities in regard to or-
~ ganizing the club and obtaining the
necessary funds for the construction
tof courts.
A spirit was manifest at
~ the meeting which we hope will go
the Towa Vegetable Growers’
ciation, and said
far toward getting what is desired.

left for Austin Wednesday for con-

Vocational Education in relation to
work of supervised teaching. This
work was formerly done by the De-

ors sent out from here; but since
January 1, has been discontinued be-
cause of the insistence of Miss Annie

STUDENTS PAID
EXTRA AMOUNTS
Training Under Federal Board Be-
coming Increasingly Popular
With Discharged Soldiers
Twenty additional Federal Stu-
dents have added their names to the
enrollment of this institution since
January 1, according to an announce!
ment yesterday by E C. 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.

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. On the
other hand they must see that justice

OF COTTON AS A
MONEY CROP
Officers of Administration Confer
With Specialists of the Experi-
ment Station Staff.
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.
