Mackey—
(Continued from page 1)
worked on the widely known King
Bros, ranch at Laramie, Wyoming,
and from there he went to spend
some time in the sheep country of
the Northwest. The summer of 1924
was spent with Dean Hill in wool
work at the University of Wyom
ing. In the fall of 1925, on recom
mendation of Fred Marshall, secre
tary of the National Wool Growers
Association, and Dean Hill, Mr.
Mackey came to the Animal Hus
bandry Department here. Since
that time he has been teaching and
carrying on research work here.
His teaching activity at A. & M.
has been under D. W. Williams,
head of the Animal Husbandry De
partment.
The appointment of Mr. Mackey
as secretary of the Texas Sheep
and Goat Raisers Association re
flects the trust and confidence the
ranchmen of West Texas have in
him, since the Association is a
powerful one both politically and
economically in the state of Tex
as, and in the United States. But,
to quote Mr. Mackey, “Gosh, I
sure hate to leave the boys!”

the last stand for unmechanized

are still to be seen today. In the

College for Women and graduated

Dean of Engineering Gibb Gil
