Sticiens io Growing Coupes as Intertilled

Experiments by the Agricultural Experiment Substation Have Proved That
Cowpeas Must not be Planted in Corn in the Early
Stages of Development.

corn of moisture and plant food.

[ROSS VOLUNTEERS
PRESENT THEIR
BEST ON FRIDAY
The Second Dance of the R. V. Sea-
son Acclaimed as the Best
That Could Be
The great night was Friday night,
the climax of the R. V. season, when
the second dance of the week given
by the Ross Volunteers, passed in-
to history as the supreme affair of
the school year. This is the pro-
nouncement made by hundreds of A.
and M. cadets who had as partners
for the dance their idols in the fem-
inine world picked from the pret-
tiest of Texas’ society for this special
occasion. Never could there have
been greater demonstrations of
gaiety and levity by youths in the
‘enjoyment of the terpischorean art.
| The grand march began at nine
| o'clock and was led by W. T. Burns
and Miss Gertrude Ballard. The
long line of couples as it drew out on
the floor and formed the letter “R”
| resembled a fancy multi-colored rib-
bon, one-half of it white, suggested
by the snow-white uniformed Ross
| Volunteers, and the other half with
all colors of the rainbow which were
|seen in the beautiful gowns of the
| ladies. The effect was perfect.
| A most generous, artful and use-
ful present made to each gentleman
and lady present was the program of
the dance. For the gentleman this
was a costly leather card case con-
taining the program, on which was
also printed the names of the
chaperones for the dance and the
| . :
{ names of the officers and all meng
| bers of the Ross Volunteers. The
[ladies received a neat and equally
| valuable vanity case on the inside of
| Which was the same program. Print-
led on the front cover was the seal of
| the Ross Volunteers and on the back
| the College seal. The gift was a
{good example of the determination
| of the Ross Volunters to allow no
lcost to enter into their plans for
making this occasion an exceptional
one, deserving the memory of every-
one who accepted their hospitality.
Stewart's Jazz Orchestra from
Memphis, Tennessee, the same one
that played for the dance on Thurs-
day night furnished the music on this
| night also.
The number of dancers Friday
night exceeded that of Thursday
night by fifty couples, there being
at least two hundred and fifty
couples on the floor the second night.
More Bryan people were present and
the crowd was also enhanced by a
goodly number of girls who did not
reach College Station in time to par-
ticipate in the first event.
