CONGRATULATIONS
. The AGGIE, through the pen of
Curtis Vinson, is taking its readers
on an interesting and pleasant tour
of Europe. The actual trip, taken by
Professor J. S. Mogford ’'16, of the
A. and M. College Agronomy Depart-
ment and three of his students, was
a more .serious, important and far-
reaching journey than the usual
pleasure tour. The party scanned and
studied the domain of Cotton, from
n its production in the United States
to its manufacture and ultimate dis-
position in the countries of Europe.
The trip was made possible thru
the genesis of an idea in the mind of
Professor Mogford and thru the co-
operation of such leaders in the cot-
ton world as W. L. Clayton of the
firm of Anderson-Clayton and R. J.
Murray of the Texas Cotton Cooper-
ative Association. Valuable aid in
completing arrangements and plans
was given by A. K. Short ’00, Ster-
ling Evans ’21, and other agricul-
tural workers and agencies.
MAKE TICKET
DISTRIBUTION
HAPPY AFFAIR
Once more the unhappy season of
football ticket scrambles is here, and
the AGGIE asks for patience, toler-
ance and fairness from the members
of the Association in this matter.
Every year some feelings are wound-
ed over this situation. The fault is
often at College Station, often with
the individual himself. It is the only
situation this publication has ever
seen that was not completely amica-
bly handled among A. and M. men.
The practice of sending applica-
tions and giving preference on seats
to members of the Association in
good standing seems the only method
of distributing tickets among A. and
M. men. Without this plan it would
be necessary to open the sale to the
general public, which would leave
little preference to any A. and M.
man and which would open the gates
to the speculator and the scalper.
Even Former Students not allied with
the Association can and do appre-
ciate the necessity of some agency
listing those entitled to first choice
of tickets. Nor would these men ex-
pect the Association, maintained by
its members contributions, to expend
its resources in including their names
upon the application list.
Those at College Station, the As-
sociation office furnishing the appli-
cation list and the Ahtletic Depart-
ment filling the applications, are
trying to distribute the tickets ac-
cording to the rules laid down by the
A. and M. Former Students them-
selves, and to do this with as few
mistakes and errors as possible.
When these errors and mistakes oc-
cur, the AGGIE asks for a kindly
attitude on the part of the injured
party. Give those handling the ticket
matter an opportunity to make the
proper adjustment of errors. Help
make the matter of football ticket
distribution the pleasant affair that
cther business relations between A.
and M. men have always been.
The blending of the efforts of an
educational institution with those of
the cotton business for the produc-
tion of benefits to the cotton pro-
ducing area of the United States is
strong evidence of the value of Tex-
as A. and M. to its citizen support-
ers. Such a study of an industry as
was made by this party will un-
questionably result in benefit to that
industry. And what benefits the cot-
ton industry will benefit almost half
the population of the United States.
The Aggie extends its congratula-
tion to the men whose efforts, sup-
port and far-sightedness made such
a trip possible.
