HORTICULTURE SHOW
WILL BE HELD S00N
Annual Exhibition of Fine Fruits,
Nuts, and Flowers Being Prepar-
ed by Horticultural Society
Plans regarding the sixth Annual
Horticultural Show held by the stu-
dents and instructors of the Horticul-
tural Department of the College are
being rapidly developed, and the indi-
cations now are that it will be the best
display of horticultural products ev-
er shown by the students in this
course.
The show originated several years
ago with the idea of bringing together
various horticultural productions of
the state, so that the students and
visitors might have an opportunity
to know the boundless possibilities of
horticulture in Texas. As a compari-
son the very finest fruits from other
regions are also put on display in
competition with the Texas products.
The show will be open to the public
and everyone is invited to attend. As
no fees of any kind are charged the
expenses are covered by the sale of
fruits, drinks, nu's and other products,
and the show has proved to be
high-class Christmas fruits, nuts, and
high-class Christmas fruils, nut, and
flowers at reduced prices. Opportuni-
ty will also be offered for the pur-
chase of a limited amount of nursery
stock, including some of the best or-
namentals adapted to Texas condi-
tions. Several motion picture reels
showing the various phases of fruit
produc.ion will be shown.
The following chairmen have been
elected by the Horticultural Society
to head the various committees: M. I.
Broxton, general arrangement; A. L.
Eagan, decorations; W. D. Seals, de-
ciduous = fuits; Ben Chambers,
citrus and sub-tropical fruits and
vegetables; J. J. Roseborogh, nursery
and floral stock; N. G. Bone, land-
scape, pot plants and flowers; and
R. Brison, refreshments.

BACK T0 GOLLEGE
Work of Texas Conference at Marsh-
all was Significant to This
Institution
Reverend King Vivion is the reci-
pient of many sincere congratula-
tions as he moves among his College
friends this week. They are pleased
that he has been asigned to continue
the work which he has instituted
here by the Texas Conference of the
Methodist church.
Besides the assignment of Reverend
Vivion to the institution the Texas
Conference did other things
have an important meaning to the in-
stitution.
The Conference named P. T. Ram-
sey, formerly pastor of the First
Methodist church at Bryan and now
of Huntsville as a member of the
board of commisioners which has
charge of the A. & M. field of work
in which Reverend Vivion is person-
ally engaged. Other members of the
A. & M. board are: Alonzo Monk, Jr.
of the Texas Central Conference;
eorge Walling Austin, of the: West
Texas Conference and Reverend R.
C. Hicks, Wolfe City, of the North
Texas Conference.
Another act of great importance to
the institution was the admittance of
C. H. Hamilton, former student of A.
& M. on trial into the conference and
his assignment to Southern Metho-
dist University to finish his theolo-
gical studies. He is thought to be tha
first A. & M. man ever to be admit-
ted into a Methodist conference. D. D.
Steele, "22 graduate who is now serv-
ing as secretary of chamber of com-
merce at Nixon is expected to be ad-
mitted into the conference later. He
intends to complete his agricultural
