KITTY TO PARADE THE MILITARY Number 159 MEETING OF THE PLANT INDUSTRY WALK INEVENING COUNCIL MONDAY The Cadet Who Detects Her and Says | “My Kitty” Will Receive Block of Tickets. Warning is hereby issued to cadet | having a “date” out on the Military Walk Sunday afternoon to have her! properly tagged and labeled with the | A | group of several desperate and un- name her parents gave to her. lucky “bone rollers” were overheard plotting to discover and descend in force upon any fair one whose iden- ity was not positively known. If you don’t want your girl to be called | “Kitty,” better mark her. No one is going to lose a chance at detecting | “Kitty” Sunday afternoon between | 5:30 and retreat. Those six tickets will make someone’s Sunday supper taste mighty good. One of these ambitious Fish might even ask ‘Kitty’ to supper with him in Sbisa’s Hall after he identifies her. Brother, we're telling you she would create some sensation sitting at the head of the table sweetly calling for “sawdust.” Kitty isn’t at all bashful, no indeed! You won't need to be introduced to her formally before you swing onto that auto and inquire about that block of tickets. But be sure to look at her “engagement finger” for a sparkler, before you make any rash declaration of intention of having an actress for a wife. But we’ll slip it to you, there’s nothing on that said finger. But you probably won’t be looking at her finger, for those eyes, brother—those eyes! Her eyes are worth all your trouble. But don’t let her vamp you out of those six tickets. Remember, this afternoon between 5:30 and retreat on the Military Walk in an automobile—you’ll find your “Kitty.” Re EEEE—— a—— ee] BACHELOR’S BASEBALL CLUB WILL BE ORGANIZED MONDAY The crack of the hickory against the horsehide is making the young man’s fancy turn to thoughts of baseball.

Control of the Cotton Boll Weevil will be discussed in detail. Dr. Mau- rice C. Tanquary is conducting very important experiments in large field areas on preventing damage by the | boll weevil and will explain the most improved methods of combatting this | insect, as well as the efficiency of different methods and the results [that can be secured. Professor S. W. Bilsing will bring [to this meeting data on the damage "done in Texas by the boll weevil and the extent to which this loss can be eliminated by following the best known measures for control. It is the opinion of those working along lines connected with cotton production that the Plant Industry Council can do much to stimulate the wider adoption of effective means of handling the boll weevil situation. W. B. Farrar, Marketing Agent of the St. Louis and Southwestern Rail- road will discuss feasible plans for handling the tomato crop in East Texas. Tomatoes are an important agricultural crop in many parts of East Texas and because they are ex- tremely perishable it is necessary to adopt the very best methods of har- vesting and marketing in order to prevent loss to the grower. Mr. Farrar since being with the Railroad Company has had an oppor- tunity to visit the marketing centers, study the point of market both from production and from the market end of the fruit and truck business. These subjects are open for gener- al discussion in the meeting Monday afternoon. —tl ent ——— DR.

JOHN C. BURNS ELECTED SECRETARY TEXAS SHORTHORN BREEDERS’ ASSN. ONLY STATE OFFICE OF THIS KIND HE WILL BE SECRETARY OF THE TEXAS SHORTHORN ASSOCIATION AND FIELD REPRESENTATIVE OF SHORTHORN AND AMERICAN BREEDERS’ BOTH THIS BREEDERS’ ASSOCIATION. HE WILL OPEN AN OFFICE IN FORT WORTH. President Bizzell Says He is Probably the Strongest Animal Husbandman in the Entire Country, and His Place Will be Hard to Fill. After sixteen years of continuous service with the Agricultural and Me- chanical College of Texas, John C. Burns, Head of the Department of Animal Husbandry, has resigned his position here and on July 1 will take up the work of extending the in-| bandry Department which he has headed since 1907, and of other de- partments which have benefited from the high efficiency of his ad- ministrative and executive ability combined with his thorough know- ledge of every phase of animal hus- fluence and patronage of Shorthorn | bandry. cattle breeders in Texas and Louis- | iana. President Bizzell say he “regards | his leaving as a most regretable in- At a recent meeting of the Ex- | cident as he is probably the strongest ecutive Committee of the Texas animal husbandman in the entire Shorthorn Breeders’ Association heid |Souney and his place will be hard to at Fort Worth, he was elected secre- tary of the Texas Shorthorn Breed- ers’ Association and field represen- tative of both the Texas and Ameri- can Shorthorn Breeders’ Association. He will open an office at Fort Worth and begin his work on July 1, at which time his resignation from the A. and M. College of Texas will take effect. In this dual capacity Mr. Burns will devote his entire time toward building up a strong association of breeders of registered Shorthorn cattle, and in assisting the breeders | with their problems of selection, breeding, feeding and management. He will spend part of his time in the field visiting the various Shorthorn E. J. Kyle, Dean of the School of Agriculture, speaks of Mr. Burns leaving as a very great loss to his de- partment. Mr. Kyle is one of his earliest teachers during his student days at this College and has been as- sociated with him officially ever since, and he regards him as one of the strongest livestock men in the United States. “Mr. Burns is one of the hardest working and most efficient men I have ever had. He is thoroughly loyal to the Institution land has done everything in his pow- [ment of Animal er to develop a successful Depart- Husbandry. He | started, practically without buildings, herds in Texas and Louisiana so as tc! keep in close touch with the breeders and have first hand knowledge con- cerning the conditions of producing this particular breed. Those farmers not interested in cat- tle raising and such breeders as are still raising scrub cattle will be di- rected and assisted by him in turn- ing their attention to the breeding of pure bred Shorthorn cattle; and finally he will use all the facilities of his office in helping the Shorthorn breeders in Texas and Louisiana to dispose o ftheir surplus stock, wher- ever a desirable market can be found for them, in the United States, South or Central America. In other words his efforts will be directed toward getting the farmer and stockman in Texas and Louisi- ana to raise more and better Short- horns and to help them dispose of | them at profitable prices. The Texas Shorthorn Breeders’ Association in establishing an of- fice in this State and employing a paid secretary who will devote his entire time to work in the interest of that Association is taking the first action of this kind on the part of any Texas breed organization. Mr. Burns decision to leave A. and M. College causes deep regret to his many friends here, and particularly to the members of the Animal Hus- grounds, or equipment of any kind and has built up a department second to none in the United States. His leaving will undoubtedly. be a seri- ous loss to the School of Agricul- ture, and there is some consolation in knowing that in his new position he will still be able to be of help and assistance to this College. The Animal Husbandry Department is the largest department of the School of Agriculture and of very great im- portance, and no efforts will be spar- ed in securing the best available man in the whole United States to take Mr. Burns’ place.” Early Life and Work. John C. Burns was born at Cuero, DeWitt county, Texas, in 1885, and was reared on a fram and ranch in Southwest Texas. He graduated from the A. and M. College of Texas in 1904 with the degree of Bachelor of Science, having taken the Agri- cultural course and having special- ized in Animal Husbandry, and be- gan his employment with the College the same year as herdsman. From January 1906 ’till September 1906 he was Deputy Feed Inspector of the Feed Control Service. He again took up animal husbandry work in September 1906 as instructor in the Animal Husbandry Department of the College, and just one year later was made Head of the Animal Hus- bandry Department and Animal Hus- bandman for the Texas Experiment
