COMMERCIAL CLUB OPEN WORK BEGUN BY PLANT BAND LEADER SECURED LYCEUM COURSE OFFERS
INDUSTRY COUNCIL FOR THE ENSUING YEAR MANY GOOD PROGRAMS
FOR COLLEGE MEMBERS:
PRESIDENT POINTS ouT MER- |
ITS OF BRYAN AND BRAZOS
COUNTY COMMERCIAL CLUB |
President Bizzell issued the follow-
ing statement today in which he urg-
ed the campus people to join the
Bryan and Brazos County Commer- |
cial Association:
“Every man connected with this
college should identity himself as
closely as possible with the commer-
cial and religious interest of the
community in which he lives. An un-
usually large number of men have
become identified with the college for
the first time this fall and perhaps
some are not aware of the mutual in-
terest between Bryan and College. 1
sincerely hope every man connected
with this institution will become a
vital part of both communities.
Gne of the effective ways of do-
ing this is by joining the Bryan and |
Brazos County Commercial Associa- |
tion. This organization is compos-- |!
ed of the leading business and pro-|
fessional men of the two communi-|
ties. The officers and executive board |
of the Bryan and Brazecs County
Commercial Association have re-|¢
sponded to every call for assistance |
and cooperation that has been re-|
quested of them. TI know of no town |
in Texas where an institution of
higher learning is located that mani- |
fests so much interest and responds
so liberally and cheerfully to every de-!
mand made upon it in the interest of |
the institution as Bryan.
it seems, therefore, altogether wise |
and just that men associated win |
the college should show some infer- |
es” in the commercial organization |
that is doing so much for the institu- |
tion with which we are identified. |
Join the Commercial Club and culti-
vate the acquaintanceship of the bus-
iness men of Bryan. These men will |
be glad to know you and it will be |
worth vour while to know them.”

VARIOUS TOPICS RELATING TO |
AGRICULTURAL PROB-
LEMS DISCUSSED
The work of the Plant Industry
Council was begun Monday afternoon
when the first meeting of the year
was held in the assembly room of

M. R. Bently,
interesting discussions were
farm engineer of
the Extension Service told of the me-'
chanical perfection of some cotton
pickers which he has recently seen in
creration, while M. M. Daugherty
discussed the economic feasibility of
the mechanical cotton picker.
ing definite was brought out along
thic line, the result of the discussion
being that, althought it has been
proved that the mechanical picker
does do the work of extracting
cotton from the open bolls, it has not
been perfected to the extent that it
1s adapted to fields of cotton in the
verious sections of the state. In the
fields where the machine has been
good work has been done on
calks of even heighth, and proror-
| tiorate growth with as much as one-
third of a bale open to the acre, but
under other conditions the results ob-
rained has not been satisfactory. It
was brought out in the discussion.
Mr.» Lancaster, rural organizer of
ithe Extension Service talked of or-
¢anization work and the Farm Bu-
reau movement. He is a new man
with the Extension Service and also
in Texas and gave his opinions as to
how the organization work in other
states could be accomplished in Tex-
as.
Following this program the com-
mittee which was appointed last
spring to work out recommendations
concerning the report on plant path-,
olcgy made by Dr. J. J. Taubenhaus,
plant ‘pathologist of the Experiment
Station, made its report.
In his report Dr. Taubenhaus prov-
'ed from a scientific standpoint that
| about one-seventh of the total pro- 4
| duction of crops in 1918 was destroy- |
ed by disease.
The committee made four tentative |
recommendations for reducing plant
diseases in Texas as follows:
(1) Sérengthening the Division of
Platt Pathology and Physiology
the" Experiment Station, asking the
legislature for more roney to en-
large it from the present one man’
divicion to at-least three well train-
ed investigators.
(2) Close cooperation between the
Plant Pathology Division of the Ex-
i periment Station and that of .the Ex-
tension diyi ision.
(3) Cyeating a larger interest in!
Plant Pathology in Texas this to be
accompanied by:
(a) Qffermg strcng courses in
. plant gpathblogy and physiology to
the "aguieultural students of A. &'
M.
(b) Hastening the solution of
pressing problems in plant pathology |

| GEORGE FAIRLEIGH, FORMER |

DUTIES YESTERDAY.
George Fairleigh,
lleutenant in the third cavalry has
, been secured for the position of band
leader of A. & M. He arrived in
| College Station yesterday and will
: begin work with the band at once.
Mr. Fairleigh has had an unusual
‘training and experience that especial-
ly fits him for the work here. He
haz had charge of many musical or-
ganizations and has always been
credited with having one of the fin-
est bands or orchestras in whatever
line he happened to be in.
He has had eleven years experi-
ence as band and orchestra leader.

| College of Music, England, he has
| been conductor for Moody Manners
Cpera Company, Wheecker Edwards
[.ondon Gaiety Company and Filles’
, Circus.
He teaches every instrument in the
band and orchestra.
His record of military service is
the very best. Colonel F. R. Day who
commanded the third infantry at the
time of Mr. Fairleigh’s service with
that regiment recommends him as
being “without exception, the best
band leader he ever saw, a man with
a strong military bent, a strong char-
acter, who commands well, maintains
most excellent discipline and is with-
out reproach as to character.”
Mr. Fairleigh is married and has
three daughters. For the present they |
are residing in Bryan.

1920-21 LYC EU IM COURSE TO
BRING SUPERIOR ARTISTS
TO THE CAMPUS.
S. C. Evans, chairman of the Ly-
ccum Committee of the Y. M. C. A.
announces that an unusually good
course will be provided this year. Mr.
Evans is very enthusiastic over the
selection of artists and programs for
the course this winter. A series of
high class programs will be given
and the dates chosen make it possible
for all connected with the college to
cnjoy a variety of entertainment at
a minimum cost.
Among the numbers included is the
Zedeler Symphonic Quintet, which
comes October 16 and is composed of
{ a ceilist, pianist, two violinists and a
soprano. These entertainers are well
known as a company of brilliant ar-
tists. They began their Texas tour
in Sherman last week, where they
played to a packed house, receiving
constant calls for encores and special
numbers by request.
The second number will be given
oy the Toots Paka Hawaiian troupe.
In Hawaii they are known as the best
Hawaiian troupe on the American
stage. Toots Paka herself is, accord-
ing to a leading New York dramatic
crivie, “the queerest, oddest, most
fascinating and most charming per-
son ever interview.” The great num-
ber of Victor records made by this
troupe is sufficient proof of their
great success. Toots Paka is doubt-
less the leading Hawaiian on the
American lyceum platform, and she
and her five male associates will
mect the demands of any crowd.
The following number will be Bess
Gearhart Morrison’s “Old Fashioned
Girls.” These are four in number,
charming and bewitching, Stepping
out of the “Long. Ago” with their
“Stories and Songs of the Sixties.”
+ An evening spent listening to their
| entertainment will be long remem-
i bered and cherished. = Music; vocal
ard instrumental, and readings make
i up their program.
For the fourth number the young
prima donna soprana, Miss Josephine
Martino, will appear, with her assist-
ing artists, Vitali Podolsky and Miss
Josephine Brlougher,  2ecompanist.
Miss Martino is a lyric soprana, and
1s a protege of Enrico Caruso.
An original “Peppy Program” that
pleases everybody characterizes the
program. The Rondoliers, a
group of five versatile entertainers,
is composed of William Larson, who
entertains with the violin and the
| clarinet. Walter Reed, who is an
‘artist on the violin, cornet and saxo-
phone, Mids Della Erickson, trom-
bonist, pianist, soloist, saxophone ar-
tist, Miss Gertrude Erickson, accom-
plished on the cornet, saxophone and
| piano, and Miss Emily McGregor, a
| reader, pianist, and an artist on the
saxophone. For a program of popu-
; fifth
lar number with pep and punch the
! Rondoliers cannot he excelled.
Of course no Lyceum Course would
