BENEFIT SHOW
The Biology Club is presenting “The
Story of Alexander Graham Bell” at the
Assembly Hall Monday, April 29 at 7:00
p. m. The picture stars Don Ameche,
Loretta Young, and Henry Fonda, all not
ed for their success in pictures. Darryl
F. Zanuck directed the production of this
story filled with drama and pathos and
based on the life of the inventor of the
telephone.
The Biology Club is presenting the show
in order to raise money to help pay for
a beaded screen and other equipment to
go with the projector they purchased last
fall.
The club feels favored indeed to be
able to present such an interesting and
stirring as well as educational picture to
the corps. Starring as it does three of
Hollywoods leading artists, the picture
has been a great success everywhere it
has shown previously. In order that it
may be within the reach of everyone the
club has placed the admission price at only
10 cents, trusting to the size of the
audience which will attend such a picture
to repay the club at this low price.

swimming in Buffalo Bayou, he
said.
Homer’s father made up for the
cost of feeding Puss by cancelling
his burglary insurance. Negroes
won’t come within a mile of the
ranch on Katy Road, he said, and
all the neighbors are afraid to
venture onto the homestead unless
the family has been notified and
the lion is tied.
He roams the prairies and comes
home at will, and is enjoying his
vacation on the ranch. He may go
back to A. & M. with Homer when
he returns next fall—the family
hasn’t decided. The college boys,
and even the professors, are very
fond of Puss, and he was allowed
to run free on the campus every
afternoon for his exercise.
Although Homer is working his
way through college, he has not
let this nor his pet, Puss, interfere
with his school work. His report
card this year has reported only
“A” and “B” grades.
However, Puss will be glad to
see Homer again, his family be
lieves. At night he cries (not a
sissy cry, but a roar heard for a
mile around the ranch) for Homer,
and when his master doesn’t an
swer, he lies down beside “Tiny”
the fox terrier and goes to sleep.
“If you want to know something
about the destruction of Mother
Earth in Texas take a plant trip

course on the campus of Texas

-SATURDAY, APRIL 27, 1940
Dr. R. F. Chandler To Be
Visiting Prof Next Summer
Dr. Robert F. Chandler Jr., as-f
sistant professor of forest soils,
department of agronomy, Cornell
University, will be visiting pro
fessor of agronomy at A. & M.
from June 10 to July 20.
In order to be of service to
all groups interested in forestry,
and particularly those interested
in the problems of forest soils in
the Southwest, graduate courses in
forest soils will be offered during
the first term of the 1940 summer
session under Dr. Chandler. Since
no such courses have been offered
before in the Southwest, and since
the State of Texas has about 35,-
000,000 acres of forest lands which
annually yield products valued
at $50,000,000, these courses and
their attendant field trips should
present a valuable opportunity
to study forest soil problems in a
hew area, it was said by Dr. Ide
P. Trotter, head of the A. & M.
Department) of- Agronomy.
Ecologically the Texas forest
areas are particularly interesting
because they represent both the
typical southern pine forests and
the tension zone where the humid
forest areas meet the semi-arid
tall grass prairie of the South
west. College Station lies in the
center of this transition zone. The
wide range of soil and climatic
conditions found in Texas, and the
225 species of trees in the state
make it an especially significant
place in which to study climatic,
physiographic and biotic relation
ships.
A. & M. has the largest school
of agriculture in the world. The
school is a member of the Land
Grant College System of the Unit-
Dr. R. F. Chandler
ed States and its courses are ac
cepted for credit by the outstand
ing educational institutions of the
country.
This school permits a graduate
student to take a total of six cred
its in a six weeks summer term.
One three-credit graduate theory
course and a special problem lab
oratory course of one to three cred-
