SOILS AND FEED STUFFS.
Dr. Fraps will mveetigate. under
this Adams fund, digestibility of some
Texas feeding stuff; fundamental
properties of soils, particularly in
regard to the condition and properties
of the phosponc acid, potash and
humus of the soil and the nitrifying
and other 'biological properties;
the composition of feeding stuffs.
The work as ouBis^ed will probably,
take several yean.
Prof. MatphaU propose* to deter
mine the iligestibility and mitr
value of the *ca r txih yd rates rtyd fat
Kaffir com; Milo maize and molasses,
including a' comparison of the fatten
ing values ot the feed stuffs mention
ed with Indian corn. To corrolxrrate
and test the value of the findings ©f
shts experiment twenty fully' grown
4-\car-old steers have been purchased
tut a cost of ‘$900, to be fed i in four
lots, as follapvs:
1. Indian com, sorghum hav and
a small allowance of cotton ieed
meal. j 'T
2. Kaffif com, sorghum hay and
a small allowance of cotton seed
meal.
3. Milo maise, sorghum hav and
cotton seed meal.
4. Molasses, sorghum hay a id
cotton aeed meal.
Prof. Bennett reports his investiga
tions to be along two lines: First, to
increase the yield of corn by close
planting, or more plants per acre of
small habit, $t> escaping storms and
drouths, an<h second, the immetiga-j
;tion of damage done and remedy for
mfiaMRr|killing; and rust of oats. H
hopes to determine the best variety to
be used and if source of selection of
ndiviauals for studying the characters
nd features of oat plants which show
the greakcej! resistance to rust and
told; earld maturity and productive
ness.
The department of entomology,
under the dkAction of Prof. Conradi,
Will make a careful investigation of
the plum ciitulio on the peach m
Texas, which has never yet been
done on account of lack of funds.
This department will also devote
much time to the investigation of the
Southern grmn[ louse.
Space forbid$ a more detailed de
scription of Vie methods and plant of
fhepe different specialists as given in
their reports and recommendations.
The above, however, gives an idea of
what an inestimable value this Adams
fund will be to' farmer*, truckers, or-
chardists and seockmen of the State.
Full and complete accounts of these
experiments iwi|l he made in bulletin
form in due bike.

,^j TH€ FORT WORTH FESTIVAL.
The Glee Club te Have ae Exceptional
Tr-at se Tbelr Trip.
S The G|ee Club is a member of
the Texai Federation cf English
Singing Societies which meets every
two years-- this year at Fort Worth
id May. The folloVitfe clipping
from the Ft. Worth Telegram will
give some idea of the treat in store
for the boys thisTyear. They are
now at work on the mass choruses
to be sung by 6oo voices. The
Director hopes to get the Gleg Club
in shape to give their annual con
cert here by Easter. Arrange
ments for a trip other than to Ft.
Worth have not been made as yet.
The arrangements being made
for the festival of the Texas Fed
eration of English'singing societies
are assuming such proportions a.s
to surprise those who have not kept
in touch with this-evolution of the
musical activities of the state. The
correspondence with the clubs out
of Fort Worth indicates that there
will be more than twenty clubs re
presented at the festival for the big
iniftpd chorus. There will be heard
for the firlt time in Texas trained
voices ot musicians to the number
of six hundred, joiniag in ren-
ig such □ urn tiers as the well
known march from "Tannhauffer.”
th these voices there will be
an orchestra of seventy-five instru
men
H. A. Judd, president of the fed
erattyn, wias. authorized by the ex
ecutive l>oard to dose contracts
with Schumann-Heink and Nor-
dica. While definite word has not
yet been received as to the result of
these negotiations that such artists
are Contemplated and will be secur
ed, gives some idea of the musical
standards of the federation author
ities. Should these two artists not
be available efforts will be made to
secure either Mine Emma Karnes
or Caruso. Mme. Melba will aot
be Available, as she leaves as soon
as her engagement with the Man
hattan Opera Company is over for
London for a season with Cbwmt
Garden.
While these great artists will be
secured, the Chicago symphony or
chestra has already been engaged.
Von Feili}z, the new conductor of
this organization, comes to this
country with the prestige of having
directed the most famous orchestras
