THE DALY BULLETI College Station, Texas, Thursday, April 8, 1920 Number 162 MR. FARRAR TALKS REGULAR MEETING TO THE STUDENTS IN HORTICULTURE Marketing Agent of the Cotton Beit Talks on the Marketing Problems in Eastern Texas Mr. Farrar, marketing agent for the St." L. &-S. W. R. R., visited the College upon the invitation of Prof. Potts to talk to the Horticul- tural students upon the marketing of perishable products. He has had several years of experience in this line of work and is doing much to improve marketing conditions along his line. Mr. Farrar’s talk was along gen- eral marketing lines though illus- trated with his experiences in hand- ling peaches, tomatoes, berries, etc. He said in part: When we consider marketing is the ultimate aim of every ounce of | culti- every other expended in sowing, vation, harvesting and operation of production—when we recognize the fact that increased production in any industry without a correspondingly increased outlet for the finished product means econ- omic loss—then we can get some con- ception of the paramount importance of agricultural marketing work. Marketing consists of more than merely selling a crop. It should in- clude every step from harvesting un- til the crop is on the consumer’s table. Selling bears about the same relation that powdering a girl’s nose bears to the whole operation of her preparation for a ball or the opera, It is very necessary, but only one of the finishing touches. Marketing must include the prop- er time to harvest and harvesting methods, assembling of the goods in- to salable quantities, the segregation of grades and sizes, the exclusion of all unmarketable goods and of find- ing the scattered points of consump- tion. vice and if a single one of the steps mentioned above neglected all may be a failure. In order to perform all of these the middle man is necessary to some extent but the farmer has neglected some parts of his work and so al- lowed parasites to creep in. energy is Some of the worst faults of the | Texas growers are due largely to shortsightedness and to lack of un- derstanding of the value of a good reputation. A man buys a car of goods and takes a chance on it be- ing good and that he can sell it to some one else before it rots. quently he has to buy it far below what he expects to get for it that his margin of profit will take care of the hazard as well as the legitimate profit he is entitled to make Much fruit that is started to market should have gone to the cull heap. This would tend to eliminate the element | of chance that is so largely to blame for the great difference in the price (Continued on Page 4) Good marketing is good ser- | Conse- | ANIMAL INDUSTRY COUNCIL MONDAY | Dr. R. P. Marsteller, R. M. Sherwood, R. F. Miller and J. A. Clutter Talk at Last Meeting At the regular meeting of the An- imal Industry Council, Dr. R. P. Marsteller, Prof. of Vet. Med. and Surgery, in discussing “Regulatory | Laws Pertaining to the Interstate | Shipment of Livestock”, went into ‘detail in explaining some of the dis- | eases which were the direct cause of [this law. He lauded the veterin- |arians for their common interest in | keeping down contagious diseases by [their strict enforcement of these laws. He emphasized the importance of breeders acquainting themselves | with both the interstate and intra- | state laws before making a shipment. He also commended the pure bred live stock breeders for their constant cooperation with the veterinarians in keeping down contagious diseases. R. M. Sherwood, Poultry Husband- man of the Experiment Station, in reviewing current topics pertaining to poultry, related some of his ex- periences with tuberculosis of chick- ens. He showed a number of pic- tures which typified examples of this disease. The manner of testing the flock for the disease is very similar to the test for tuberculosis in cattle. R. F. Miller, Sheep Husbandman, commented upon results of the meet- ing of the National Wool Growers’ Association which was held last Jan- uary. He advised that this Associa- tion had taken steps to improve wool marketing and to prevent the dealing in wool futures, that is, buying the wool while it is still on the animal’s back. “Increasing the American Peoples’ Appetite for Mutton Cam- paign’’ was heartily endorsed by the Association. It was recommended that the bounty be increased for the trapping of coyotes, as this is grow- ing to be a greater menace to the sheep industry each year. Finally the . Association went on record as approving the passage of the Pure Fabric Law which law, if passed, would have the same effect as our Pure Food Law. J. A. Clutter, Associate Professor |of Dairy Husbandry, stressed some | of the recent records that have been | made in the production of milk and | butter. One interesting record was that of the Jersey cow, imported | Prospect’s Rose Des Houard’s, who, as a two year old, produced seven {hundred twenty-six pounds of butter | fat, won the grand championship at | the National Dairy Show, and at the ‘end of the test produced a calf. | Professor Clutter strongly advocated the adoption of the yearly butter fat test for dairy breeds and, particular- ly, where cows on these tests pro- duced a calf at the end of the test. He said that seven and fourteen day tests are entirely too artificial.

AGGIES SHUT OUT THE BALORITES IN A FAST GAME Making the Thirty Fifth Straight Athletic Victory for This School Year. The Aggies won their thirty-fifth straight athletic victory for this school year here yesterday by defeat- ing Baylor 3 to 0 in one of the fastest games of base ball ever played at Kyle Field. Nine full innings were reeled of on exactiy one hour and twenty-eight minutes and each of the two thousand fans were well paid for their time and money. Henderson, working on the mound for the Aggies was never better and had the Bears eating out of his hand at all times. He allowed but three hits and struck out eleven of the Bears and two of the Bear’s hits were of a scratchy na- ture. Behind perfect pitching of Henderson the Aggies played brilliant ball. Henderson was in trouble but in one inning, when an error, a hit batsman and a scratchy hit filled the bases with one man down, but the next man, heavy hitting Hank Wil- son, hit to the box and Henderson threw to Crawford who doubled to Dyer and retired the side without a score. In the fifth Crawford, first up, hit for three bases to left and scored when Henderson hit for two bases to center. This finished the scoring of the inning as Henderson was out at third and the next two were easy outs from short to first. In the sixth Hig- ginbotham lived on an error at first, stole second and came all the way around on the out from pitcher to first. No more scoring was done un- til the eighth when Higginbotham came up with two out, was safe at first on an error, stole second and scored when Alexander hit for three bases to left.
