COLLEGE OFFICIAL INVITED TO MEXICO Asked lo Assist in Short Course to be Given in Mexico City This Month. C. M. Evans, Extension Service of the College, has received a request from the Mexican Government to as- s.st in the conducting of a poultry show and poultry and dairy short courses at Mex.co City during the latter part of June. At this show all axh'b'ts, it is expected, will be fur- niched by American breeders. “In ad- dition to the carload of poultry of the various breeds and varieties, which will be purchased soon by a committee from Mexico, there will be another carload of the different varieties sent down for sale,” Mr. Evans said. “The program of the short course will be similar to the poultry and dairy schools conducted for farmers by the Extension Service in this state. Most of the lectures will be given in Spanish by Mexican instruc- tors, and others will be delivered through an interpreter. There will be demonstrations in the judging of livestock, selecting of poultry, treat- ments for insect pests, as well as lec- tures on feeding and management. “There is available in Mexico large supplies of high class alfalfa, but grain feeds are very expensive, and by-products from milling, are practi- cally unknown. During the rainy sea- son, it is impossible to cude hay, and the alfalfa is fed green as a soiling crop. In order to get a heavy production of eggs, it is likely that American feedstuffs will need to be imported for the feeding of poultry. It is also likely that some American grain feeds can be used to advantage in figuring economical rations for dairy cattle and hogs.” i pina PEST CONTROL IN LAMAR COUNTY. A number of farmers in Lamar county are preparing to poison boll weevil with calcium arsenate this year, advises W. G. North, county agent of Lamar county, in his March report. Three cars of this poison and twenty-six three-row Niagra Dusting machines have been ordered by far- mers. Most of this work will be done by large land owners. Mr. Gess bought four of these machines last year and has ordered six more. No actual tests were made last year, but reports from a number of far. mers show that good results were ob- tained from poisoning. I have arrang- ed with two farmers who have three- row dusting machines to make tests this year. At the request of a number of far- mers I secured the U. S. Government pictures “Good-bye Boll Weevil” and “How to Fight Boll Weevils,” and have showed them in Paris, Roxton, and Deport. We had a good atten- dance in each place. DALLAS A. AND M.

Buechel Will Train Texas Farm Boys in Fundamentals of Agricultural Economics and Widen Vision of Future Merchants, Bankers and Business Men Toward Mutual Understanding. BY VICTOR H. SCHOFFELMAYER, Field Editor of The Semi-Weekly Farm News. A new course to fit Texas farm youth for coping successfully with the big agricultural problems which confront farming and to build up leaders in the new co-operative mar- keting movement, which is increas- ing in importance, and to broaden the vision of all those connected with farming has been established at Tex- as Agricultural and Mechanical Col- lege, with an unusually heavy at- tendance. More than 300 students have been enrolled in the various classes of the new agricultural ad- ministration course, which is the first of its kind in the country and is head- ed by Dr. F. A. Buechel, formezly of Wisconsin University and a well- known authority in agricultural eco- nomics. : : For a long time there has been need for just sus a department in agricultural education for the fram youth of Texas and the Nation. Tex- as is the first State to establish such a department. The new departrient goes hand and hand with the. new ‘deas of co-operative marketing which are sweeping over the whole country and which require expertly trained leaders which not always are to be had. when brought up on the old sys- tem of agricultural training. “Tt is my idea of this new field,” said Dr. Buechel to the writer, “to develop leaders who can cope with the big agricultural problems now facing the producers. Adequate lea- dership can be developed through the special course devoted to agricultural administration. It embraces a study of economics which will enlarge the vision of the students to train them to think in world terms instead of locality. A man, to be a leader in the solution of agricultural problems needs a wide perspective. He must be able to bee the relation of things to things and must know just why markets are depressed and producers are in trouble. He must understand the fundamental laws of production, distribution and consumption. We will try to reach the farm youth of Texas these things and widen their horizon accordingly. Fundamental Science Taught. The course in agricultural admin- istration, as devised by Dr. Buechel at Texas A. and M. College, includes the fundamental sciences, but places the principal emphasis upon general economies, agricultural economies, land economies, farm and ranch eco- nomics, accountancy, statistics and marketing. The main purpose of the course is to prepare men to become efficient agricultural economists in the broad- est sense of the term. A student of this course should acquire profici- ency in the use of statistics and ac- countancy to be used later as tools in the solution of economic problems. Above all, says Dr. Buechel, the ag- ricultural economist must posess vis- ion and must be able to reason from cause to effect in economic terms. The course leads specially to such vocations as general merchant, ban- ker, administrator of farm and ranch properties and lended estates, mar- keting specialist, manager of cooper- ative marketing associations, agricul- tural advisor for corporations, rail- roads and other big business; secre- tarys of chamber of commerce, ac- countants and statisticians, instruc- tors in economics and general com: mercial subjects. Technical Side of Agriculture. Nothing is left undone to make the technical side of agriculture plain to the student in the new course of ag- ricultural administration. Dr. Bue- chel, with the cooperation of Dean E. J. Kyle of the College of Agri- culture, has laid out a logical sequen- ce of instruction which marks a dis- tinct departure from previous sys- tems. The heads of the various Col- lege departments were consulted and their suggestions considered in draft- ing the new course, and, all in all, it seems destined to produce ade- quately trained young men of a type fitted to cope with the increasingly difficult farm conditions which ham- per agriculture. Dr. Buechel, as well as Den Kyle, believes there is need on the part of business men, merchants and bankers for a thorough understanding both of the economic and technical sides of agriculture. This is specially true in a State like Texas, which is pre- eminently a farming empire. It would seem that much of the misunder- standing which has existed in the past is due to lack of a sufficiently broad training in business men and bankers who come into contact with farmers and farm problems. When more business men and bankers get the new vision of agriculture it is infewer misunderstandings, it is hop- ed. New Course Four Years.

LALA A OIL COMPANY HEAD TALKS TO STUDENTS Weculd Have Business and Profession- al Men Assist Instituticns in Training Men for Vocations. Closer cooperation between educa- tional and business institutions and the government in preparing men for vocat'ons and citizenship was the don:inant note in the address deliver- ed to the Chemical Engineering club Friday evening by J. Edgar Pew, vice president of the Sun Oil Company of Dalls. Drawing the conclusion that the tion course runs a full four years. A glance at the subjects taught which embraces agronomy, biology, chem- istry, English, mathematics and elec- tive subjects, is an index to a liberal education. In the junior year the elec- tive studies may be agricultural eco- nomics and theory and practice of accounting. In the senior year, the electives incluude cost accounting, to- gether with rural sociology, farm management, ranch economics, ad- vanced statistics, transportation, pub- licfinance and taxation, agricultural finance, advanced marketing prob- lems, property and contract and co- operative accounting systems. In the fall of 1922-23, 170 fresh- men entered this new course, but the total enrollment for the entire course at present is above 300 stu- dents. The war years, of ‘course, hit Texas A. and M. College in a similar manner as they did other colleges of the country and reduced the classes to a minimum. A new foundation had to be laid before the various courses could be placed in their right rela- tion with the scheme of education in- volved. Gradually these courses are filling up and unusually activity pre- vails among the 2,300 students who are attending this year. For lack of sufficient buildings and dormitories to house the overflow, A. and M. College are living in tents pitched on the campus near the Y. M. C. A. where they endured consid- cold weather. It is a tribute to the determination of these young men to take advantage of the privileges for an education in such a manner. several hundred students of Texas | erable hardships during the recent | many failures of college men are due mainly to the maladjustments of their training to their talents or their training to their jobs he outlined generally his plan for having advis- ory committees representing all the professions to assist the professors and students in selecting the line of work best suiting the opportunities and talents of the students. In this way and by a more liberal allowance s'de the school room, especially for s'de thz schol room, especially for summer work along the line of the college traning course, he would give the student a very definite aim and would expect to develop a much high- er general average of efficiency in college graduates. He would also elaborate the mili- tary training schedule as given in the R. O. T. C. course at this insti- tution into a broader course of train- ing for both peace and war, having the government cooperating with the sate in such a course.
