concrete improvements. No dairy
can produce clean, sanitary milk un-
der such conditions. The danger of
disease goes hand in hand with dirt.
Whether you operate a great com-
mercial dairy or keep only a few cows
for the home supply of milk and
butter, you can’t make a better in-
vestment than money spent for
modern concrete improvements.
Concrete Construction
Easy and Inexpensive
A paved barn-yard and concrete
floored barn or sheds are the first
essentials. Concrete feeding racks;
water tanks; silos; milk houses, etc., are highly
desirable. You can build most of these your-
self at small cost with concrete. Investigate

Keeping ahead of the wood-box
€ HEN is it most convenient to cut wood?” Never,
you may say. But you are thinking of the days of
the old bucksaw, when the wood-box always seemed empty.
On the electrified farm a motor belted to a saw cuts the
winter’s supply of wood in a few hours.
On motors—large and small
—Wiring System, vacuum
cleaners, MAZDA lamps, and
refrigerators, the G-E mono-
gram means endurance and
service to the millions of
people who are living better
with the help of electricity.
Look for it when you buy
anything electrical for the
farm.
GENERAL ELECTRIC
The same motor can be used for grinding feed and hoisting
hay. Other motors run the milking machines, the cooler,
and the water pump, and yet the cost is but a few dollars
a month.
With electric lights and running water, and power for
washing, cooking, and cleaning all from the same econom-
ical source, small wonder that ‘‘back-work’ disappears
when electric power comes to the farm.
If you are on an electric line or hope to be soon, ask your
electric power company for a copy of the G-E Farm Book
which explains many uses for electricity on the farm.

TO FEATURE HUGE ATTENDANCE
FOR TURKEY-DAY GAME HERE
“Mess Hall Annex at 12:15 Thursday” Says Pres. Schepps Who
Speech-Making—Seats,
Food and Fun Here for Everybody.
There are games of football of all
kinds and between many teams and
there are various sizes of crowds. So
far none of them have come close to
emulating the annual Thanksgiving
Day Classic between the Farmers and
the Steers and this year promises to
be no exception. The game will be
staged on Kyle Field, where two years
ago the Aggies handed “Doc” Stew-
art’s stalwarts an unmerciful drub-
bing. The Texas-S. M, U. game played
in Dallas this spring, in one of the
largest cities of the State, drew close
to 19,000 spectators but the A. & M.-
Texas game in Austin last year drew
36,000 and the same game at College
this year bids fair to draw at least
25,000. There’s no other game like
it and regardless of the standing of
the two teams its the one great foot-
ball classic of the Southwest.
As usual the A, & M. world will
move to College for the Day. Special
trains from every corner of the State
will move in and the Campus will be-
long that day to the visitors. Auto-
mobiles will bring their thousands and
even several planes are expected to
hover and light for the fun. There is
plenty of parking space for trains,
autos, planes and humans. There'll
be lunch stands galore on the campus,
run by A. & M. students in need of
money, to feed the visitors with
wholesome food. The annual meet-
ings of A. & M. men who have not
seen each other in years will take
place as usual.
One special feature of the day will
be the complimentary lunch, extended
to the visiting A. & M. men and their
ladies, by the College in the Mess Hall
Annex. Registration for the affair
will be in charge of the Brazos County
A. & M. Club members and a badge
is all that is required for entrance.
President Julius Schepps of the
Association will preside and Julius
says that if there are over five
minutes of speeches in all that he will
the game. r=
Business Manager of Athletics,
Sully, says that he will take care of
the crowd. No fifty yard line tickets
are left, but you'll get a seat some-
where. There’ll be the usual dances
over the week-end with Texas’ fairest
daughters here as the guests of the
A. & M. Cadets. There’ll be the fa-
mous “T” formation between halves
and there’ll be hundreds of your old
pals you'll love to see. Game starts
at 2:30, A. & M. luncheon at 12:15,
fun all day for everybody.
