M. U. Mustangs. The Aggies played good ball yes- terday afternoon and took the game from the S. M. U. Mustangs by the long score of 14 to 2. Matthews showed much class in the box. He had good control and broke them over the base with fancy hooks and breaks. In the five in- ‘nings he pitched he struck out eight. Sprague relieved him in the sixth and got seven more strike outs. The Aggies show even better bat- ting ability than in Monday’s game by gathering eighteen hits. The Mustangs also hit a little harder in this game and the Farmers got credit for four errors, none of these however, were responsible for the two scores made by the Mustangs in the fourth. Lackey started in the game by get- ting two home runs. His hit the “ second time he came to bat in the first, right after he had made his first cir- cuit, was responsible for one score. He started the scoring for the Ag- gies in the first inning by taking a home run. Lewis singled to center, Matthews lived at first on an error, - Higginbotham lived on a sacrifice hit and Lewis came home for the second score. Matthews was put out on an attempted steal to third. Guynes lived on the fielders choice and Glezen got a three bagg er bringing in Hig- ginbotham and Guynes for two more scores. Alexander put one on the ground into pitcher’s box and Glezen came home. Alexander was out at first. Dwyer singled to left field, stole second, Crawford walked and Lackey hit to right field safely and Dwyer came home for the sixth score in the first inning. In the third Dwyer singled, Craw- ford singled and Dwyer stole home. Lackey flew out but Lewis’ single into right field brought Crawford home for another score. Matthews follow- ed with a hit and Lewis moved to third base, Higginbotham singled and brought in both Lewis and Matthews making four scores in the third. In the fifth Lewis started the in- ning with a three bagger, Matthews placed a long one into the center fielder’s hands and Lewis beat it home. Higginbotham lived on an error, Guynes was walked, and Glezen took a three bagger bringing home Higginbotham and Guynes for two more scores, and making three for the fifth.

REGULAR MEETING SCIENCE SEMINAR MONDAY EVENING Unusually Interesting Meeting Was Had Through Discussions by the Members. An The program of the meeting of the Science Seminar was unavoidably changed and short journal reviews and personal experiences took ‘he place of the lecture which was to have been given by Professor KF. O. Siecke on “Some Aspects of the Tex- as Forestry Problem.” Mr. A. H. Leidigh made a report on a recent article in the Agricultur- al Experiment Station Record con- cerning certain investigations of seed germination and the effect of af- ter ripening upon the percentage of seed that would germinate properly. It seems that after ripening is a pe- cularity of rice. Dr. O. M. Ball reported upon his recent trip to Austin to appear be- fore the University Science Club as a representative of the College Sci- ence Seminar at which time he de- livered his lecture on “Certain First Families of Texas” before that Club. Dr. F. W. Simonds, Professor of Geology at the University will ap- pear before the Science Seminar us an exchange lecture at the first meet- ing in May. Dr. Ball also told the Seminar of the discovery of certain fossil remains of a prehistoric dog which were ve- cently found in the vicinity of Col- lege by Dr. Francis and himself. it has been learned since the discovery of these specimens that they repre- sent a new genus and species not heretofore known. It was also learned that Dr. Ball is to have a complete log of the hole which is to be bored in the vicinity of Bryan to a depth of 4000 feet in search for oil and the suggestion was made that the Seminar obtain as much of the core as possible to bring to the College for educational purposes. The last discussion of the evening was a review of a recent article in Engineering and Contracting, de- scribing a formula deduced by Mr. HP. Gillette, Editor of that maga- zine in- which he calculates average prices of all commodities. Mr. Gillette shows that average prices are dependent only upon the total currency in circulation, rapidity of turn over of money, total popu- lation and per capita efficiency. As a check to his formula he showed that he could calculate with remark- able accuracy the average price that prevailed each year during the past sixty years. This discussion was led by Professor Roy M. Green. Tr TE yr LOST © Elgin wrist watch some- | ‘where on the Campus. Reward for| FIRST BANKER-FARMER CONFERENCE 3 OPENS WITH HUNDREDS OF BANKE AND FARMERS OF TEXAS ATTENDING : 3 F. M. Law, Presided at the Opening Session Held in Guion Hall Yesterday. President Bizzell, Joseph Hirsch, P. L. ; Downs and T. 0. Walton Speak. PERMANENCY OF THE CONFERENCE ASSURED. Committee Consisting of Three College Officials, Three Bankers and Three =) Farmers Was Appointed to Plan Arrangements for a Permanent Organization. The first conference of bankers and farmers.ever held in the South and the third one ever held in the United States, began at this Colleze yesterday morning at 9:30 in Guion Hall when F. M. Law, President of the Texas Bankers’ Association arose and said: ‘The first Banker- Farmer Conference is now in session and we hope that it will prove to be the most important occasion in be- half of the agricultural and livestock industry of Texas.” He then introduced President Biz- zell as one of the foremost men of Texas, and he made the opening ad- dress. To save time Dr. Bizzell read a paper which he had prepared on “The Relation of the A. and M. College to the Banker-Farmer Con- ference.” In this paper he said: “In the early history of banking ‘institutions in this country, and in- deed, until very recent times, banks were organized to meet the require- ments of industry and commerce rather than agriculture. When we consider the radical differences be- tween the credit needs and the con- ditions of agriculture on the one hand and commerce and industry on the other, we can readily understand why agriculture has suffered at th- expense of these other agencies of industrial development. . . . . Agri- culture is and always will be the most important enterprise of Texas. It behooves every commercial and social agency in the state to contrib- ute to the prosperity of farming as a means of promoting the general welfare of all our people. Bankers, least of all our industrial groups, can afford to be indifferent or unsym- nathetic with this basie industry. “The time is propitious for a frank exchange of views between those responsible for production and those responsible for providinz financial credit. The farmer needs to know the credit resources of the A. and M. College represents the farmers and stock raisers of the state in a very definite way and represents neutral ground both for the farmer and for the banker, and extended an invitation to those at- tending the conference to feel very much at home, to go and come as they pleased and to make every pos- sible use of what facilities the Col- lege had and what entertainment College people could offer. dea: of ‘the’ Conference. Mr. Law told of the origin of the ia idea for having the Banker-Farmer Conference here at this time. Ld While he and Colonel P. L. Downs, S, Chairman of the Committee of Ag- ih riculture of the Texas Bankers’ Association were attending the com- mencement exercises at this College last spring, Colonel Downs suggested that it would be a fine thing if they could have some kind of a meeting of the bankers of Texas on the Cam- pus it would be of value both to the bankers and to the College. «MrSe Law liked the suggestion but decid- + ed it would be better to have a joint i meeting of both farmers and bank- ers. Nothing more was said until several weeks later when Josevh Hirsch, Chairman of the Agricul- tural Commission of the American Bankers’ Association was telling a wonderful meeting that he attend- ed in Wisconsin and of another in California of bankers and farmers. So successful had they been, he said, that they were made annual affair: in those states. Mr. Law and Col- onel Downs then called the meetin of Texas Bankers and College reve... sentatives held in Houston in Janu- ary at which time plans for this con- ference were definitely worked out. Mr. Law said that he was sur- surprised in urging bankers and farmers to attend this conference to find that there was a certain amount of indiffer ence, but he raid, “My hat BEC wy nation and the factors that enter in-|iti to a sound credit policy. Tha bankers need to know, better than h~ has known, the credit resources of the rural sections, and the differ- ences between the financial opera- tions of commercial enterprises and §gicultpral endeavor.” 3 oA He, concluded with, a. statement of the place and purposes of: this In- i “that thet all facilities of th» Collame were open for anything that could ‘be ‘done.
