Oklahoma’s team, this year, was made up of Seniors—two of whom competed with our World's Champion Stock Judging Team Chicago. These two men, Garlock and Kiever, stood 2nd and 8th re- spectively in the Chicago contest. In the Oklahoma City contest Tex- | as finished high in cattle and sheep. | Snell, Luker and Evans finished in the first five men in the contest. We | have been unable to get complete re- sults. These teams meet again March 8, at the Fat Stock Show in Ft. Worth. Much interest is being manifested in the probable outcome of this contest. Garlock and Kiever, who are the back-bone of the Oklahoma team, will be ineligible at Ft. Worth on account of the Contest Rules, which are modeled after the International Contest rules, preventing students | who have competed in Inter-state contests in years previous to this. Last year Oklahoma defeated Tex- as A. and M. at Ft. Worth by a nar- | row margin of 4 points. The de- feat at Oklahoma City by a team of which at least two of its members would have been ineligible in most of the major contests in the country only adds more determination upon the part of the Texas Team to get revenge, when they have them in their home territory. A large num- ber of the Junior and Senior Animal Husbandry students are making ar- rangements to be in Ft. Worth on the morning of the contest to give the team a new supply of A. and M. pep. The following are results of the contest at Ft. Worth in previous years: 1908—Texas. 1909—Texas. 3 1910—Texas.

Number 132 THE LAND-GRANT ACT OF 1862 IS SUBJECT PAPER Importance of This Law passed by Any Educational Law of Any Lawgiver. C. E. Friley, subject of, “The Land-Grant Act of | [| 1862.” “Of the national educational poli- | cies which have been inaugurated by | | the U. S., there are two whose im- | It has been the | portance is not surpassed by any edu- | leads this conmpany, | cational law of any lawgiver, ancient or modern; there are—first, the or- | dinance of 1787, which forever estab- | lished the great principle that ‘it is la high and binding duty of Govern- ment to support schools and advance the means of education’ and which laid the foundation for our great pub- institutions; second, the | Land-Grant Act of 1862 which grew | out of the recognition of the fact that | the greatest warfare of present and | future centuries is industrial war- | fare. It gave utterance to the im- | portant truth that in the future de- velopment of American Industry large advances were to be made in the ap- plication of science to agriculture and the mechanic arts, and that those fit- tingly educated for the work in hand must here, as everywhere else, neces- sarily take the lead.” | He gave a short history of edu- cation, and told how the ancient class- ics were used as “altars before which young minds were sacrificed” even at | the very beginning of the nineteenth century, when the demand for a more | practical education grew louder and | more insistent as the century pro- gressed. He summarized the history of agricultural education up to the | time of the passage of the Land-Grant ricultural education its most power- ful stimulus. To Justin S.

M. C. A. Entertainment | Committee and will be presented here | Monday night, March 8. Samuel Lewis the Welsh tenor who is one of the most popular ballard singers in this country and is scarcely less a favor- ite in the singing of oratoria and ®peratic arias. Except for the un- savory reputation of comparisons he might truly be called “The John Me- Cormack of the Lyceum.” Miss Ruth Lavery, violinist, will be a close second to Mr. Lewis in pop- ularity. Indeed to those whose spec- ial fondness in music is for the violin, and their name is legion—we predict that Miss Lavery will more than di- vide honors with Mr. Lewis. The tone she draws from the violin is of exquisite richness. Miss Irene Harruff is a most artis- tic accompanist and gives sympa- thetic support to the other members of the company in their solos and the ensemble numbers for voice and violin. Miss Harruff will also be heard in soprano solos and in duets with Mr. Lewis. She possesses a beautiful voice of most excellent qual- ity and a charming personality. Miss Amber Hopkins, reader, as- sists in rounding out a most complete and artistic program. Her readings and stories are given with such grace and charm as to make for her an im- portant place as an individual artist and also add to the artistic finish of the program as a whole. Miss Hop- | kins is a highly honored pupil of Elias | Day, the well known director of the | Lyceum Arts Conservatory of Chi- | cago.

It is evident, therefore, that the work of the land grant col- leges should cover a broad field, in- cluding not only the technical courses required in the development of the varied industries and resources of the country, with thorough training in all of the fundamental cognate sci- ences; but also the general training increased interest and expansion has had as its great impetus the Smith- Lever and the Smith- Hughes Acts. The great work before the College to- day is to so direct their energies as to extend the range of the new ideal of education expressed by these acts until it permeates our entire educa- tional system.” “The future of land-grant colleges is indissolubly linked with the gener- al scheme of public education,” he said and outlined a plan of reorgani- zation of our public school system. An enthusiastic discussion of the subject followed the reading of Mr. Friley’s paper. PLANT INDUSTRY COUNCIL MAKES RECOMMENDATION Goes on Record as Favoring the Call- ing of a Special Session of the Legislature. REPORT OF AGRONOMY COMMIT- TEE ADOPTED BY COUNCIL. The Feeding Value of Grain Sorghum is Ninety-Three Percent of In- dian Corn. The ‘Plant Industry Council held their regular monthly meeting Mon- day afternoon in the Extension Ser- vice building. Two very important matters were discussed and adopted at this time. The Council went on record as adopting the report of the Entomo- logical Committee recommending that the <overnor of the State call an ex- tra sossion of the lerislature for the purpose «f establishing non-cotton zones in crder thot the pink boll werm may oc credicated Th: Council fur- ther voted to have this recommenda- tion ge out from the President of the | College. A second action of importance tak- en by the Council was the adoption of a report on “The I'eeding Value of Grain Sorghum” prepared by A. B. Conner, Acting Director of the Experiment Station, and reported to this meeting by the Committee on Agronomy. Ie Committee Report. Professor S. W. Bilsing read ihe article written by the Committee on Entomology, which he submitted to the Council for their approval. He said that the cotton crop of Tex- as is now menaced because of the dil- atory action of those who should be most interested, namely; the cotton growers, cotton ginners, oil, and ware- house men of the state. This menace is the presence of the pink boll worm which was first discovered in Texas cotton fields in 1917. He named the five infested areas now undey the sup- ervision of the Federal Horticultural Board and said that in the last few days a new infestation had been found in Harris county five miles outside of the quarantined territory and in Jas- per county a distance of ten miles outside of the quarantined territory. These findings Professor Bilsing said proved the ineffectiveness of the quar- antined area and challenged the peo- ple to action in defense of the Texas cotton crop. He gave a short history of the pink boll worm since its finding in Egypt in 1843 until its present introduction into Texas from Mexico, and men- tioned the enormous loss that it is causing in the cotton districts of the world. The maintenance of a restricted zone, he said was effective only as a restriction of the spread of the pest for a limited time, and under such a system the dissemination of the in- sect is certain sooner or later.
