Haskell Free Paeaa: Because of
an idea said tope prevalent in the
State that Texas salt is inferior to
Michigan salt, and ! WOl not curel
meat so well, tjhe chemist of the
Texas A. & M, College has made
thorough comparative analysis of
the two. sod he states that there is
no justification in the statement
that it will not cure meat. It is
said that 500 oc more car leads of
Michigan salt axe annnaly sold in
Texas for $jo snore per car than
Texas salt. The chemist says that

As A. and M. is closer to Bryan
than is any other college, we natur

is our right to brand it. We base
