A. AND M. BOYS GO
TO STATE FAIR.
When the visitors from the State of
Texas pass through the Dairy building
at the Dallas fair grounds this fall,
they will see the Texas A. and M.
hoys combining practice with science.
This year the Pair Association will
employ four boys from the Agricultu
ral division of the A. and M. College to
assist in the dairy demonstration
work. Three of these boys will be
with J. L. Thomas, the Government
Dairy expert for Texas and keep rec
ords on the cows entered in the eco
nomical butter fat reduction contest.
The fourth will make butter every
day from the cream produced by the
ddemonstration herd.
In doing this work the boys will be
called upon to answer innumerable
questions, and thereby get the view
point of the farmer and general pub
lic. In return the public will be able
to see how dairy cows should be fed
to produce dairy products economical
ly', and how these should be handled
to produce quality goods.
During the fair there will also be
competitive work open to the A. and
M. students. Gold, silver and bronze
medals will be awarded to the three
men that prove to be the most profi
cient in determining the per cent of
moisture and salt in butter, the de
gree of adulteration of milk and the
judging of butter for quality.
In addition there will be cash prizes
given to the three students that rank
highest in judging dairy cattle.
It is a real education for a student
to attend this fair and study the ex
hibits from the different sections of
the state.
THE SLIMS LINE UP.
In order to keep from being out
classed by their fat brothers, the six-
footers have formed themselves into
a band and are now awaiting the ac
tion of their rivals. At their first
meeting, which was held Thursday
evening, October 8, they elected their
executive officers, whose solemn duty
it is to proclaim and establish the
rights of the society. “Shorty” Bell
was elected as the man to lead the
club to victory, but Jimmie Curnutte
is to perform this duty, while Shorty
is drilling C company. It fell to Sam
Clark to keep the records of their ex
ploits and to take care of the spoils,
but Bill Carson is the man with the
big stick.
The slims had many reasons for or
ganizing, but their chief object was to
send their rivals down in defeat in a
baseball game which they hope to pull
off when the season opens. They pro
pose to meet the fats 30 strong in any
kind of rivalry except in the eating
contest, which they refuse to consider.
Note.—The Fats have not organized.
VARSITY SHOWS A. & M.
COURTESY.
The Battalion is in receipt of a let
ter from L. Theo Belmont, director
of physical training in the State Uni
versity, in which he states that he
will send to Mr. Love within the next
few days twenty-five complimentary
tickets for the use of our squad at
the University-Oklahoma game in
Dallas. He also states that because
of high railroad rates the University
student body will not go to the Dallas
game, but will go to Houston instead.
If you want high quality laundry
work and good service, try the Bren-
ham Steam Laundry.—Sam Farrell,
Agent.
