ment of Agriculture.

teresting city patrons, the cause
and control of changes taking
place in frozen meats and foods,
recommended methods of cutting
bee fand lamb for lockers, machine

Air Corps Wants 10 Percent of
A&i Military Graduates as Pilots
Approximately fifty A. & M.
seniors who are graduating in June
with the reserve officers commis
sions will be able to transfer to
the Air Corps Reserve as second
lieutenants according to a letter
received by the Commandant’s Of
fice from the War Department.
The Air Corps is in need of of
ficers for duties in connection with
supply procurement and is par
ticularly interested in those grad
uates who have majored in aero
nautical engineering, mechanical
engineering and business admin
istration.
The students who have already
received their commissions or are
planning to receive commissions
may, upon acceptance, apply for
transfer to the Air Corps Reserve.
These applications must have the
recommendation of the student’s
senior instructor and will be ac
cepted between May 1 and May 15.
With approval of the Chief of the
Air Corps these students will be
transfered to the Air Corps Re
serve as second lieutenants without
certificates of capacity.
All applications must give the
student’s name and arm of service,
the course in which his degree is
to be awarded, his major and mi
nor subjects and have the recom
mendation of his senior instructor.
The following are excerpts from
the War Department’s letter to
the Commandant’s Office:
“Corps Area and Department
Commanders are authorized to
Profs Take
Civil Service
Exams With Pupils
Students and professors were on
equal terms at examination time
when seven members of the staff
of the Department of Agronomy
took the Civil Service examina
tions for Junior Professional As
sistant along with the seniors ma
joring in agronomy given in Bryan
last month.
Since a great many students
taking agronomy courses are in
terested in qualifying for govern
mental positions under the Civil
Service, much emphasis is placed
on training students for thjs ex
amination.
The Department of Agronomy is
charged with supervising this Civil
Service work and training men for
certain of these examinations
dealing with the various phases
of agronomy. Therefore, it seem
ed quite natural that the staff of
the Department of Agronomy
should keep in touch with these
examinations and take as many
as possible.
First, if the staff members ac
tually take the examinations they
are much better prepared to give
students in their classes the type
of training that these examinations
call for. Second, there is an occa
sional opportunity for the profes
sors to improve their positions by
actually taking appointments un
der the Civil Service in some of the
professional positions.
It is regarded as even more val
uable to have staff members hold
such technical positions for a year,
after which they come back and
resume their teaching with a
much more varied background and
a wealth of experience.
For a number of years Texas
A. & M. has rated high in the to
tal number of men who have qual
ified for this type of employment.
recommend annually the appoint
ment as second lieutenants in the
Air Corps Reserve, non-rated, of
not to exceed ten per centum
(10%) of the prospective Reserve
Officers Training Corps graduates
who have qualified for commis
sions in some other section. It is
desired if possible to obtain 800 to
1,000 Reserve officers annually
from this source.
“ . . . Preference will be given
graduates of aeronautical engi
neering, mechanical engineering
and business administration.”

Rare Cheese Sale
And Exhibit to be
Dairy Show Feature
A cheese exhibit and sale which
will feature unusual and foreign
varieties of cheeses will be an add
ed attraction of the Spring Dairy
Show which will constitute a part
of Ag Day, scheduled for May 3,
A. V. Moore, professor in the dairy
husbandry department, said Wed
nesday.
“The Kream and Kow Klub is
sponsoring the sale of these
cheeses,” Moore said, “because it
will give an opportunity of pro
curing varieties of cheeses not us
ually on sale locally.”
A wide selection of domestic
cheese such as American Cheedar,
Brick and Coon shelf cured (smok
ed) will be on hand to supply such
demand.
Among the rarer cheeses will be
Chantelle, similar to the Port du
Salut of France, not now available,
having a full rich flavor and semi-
soft body; Gouda, domestic Dutch
cheese, sweeter and milder than
American Cheddar, and Gjetost, a
sweet goat milk cheese. Also listed
are Leyden, Nokkelost, Gruyere,
Camembert, Sap Sago, and Reg-
iano varieties of cheeses.
The exhibit and sale will be
held in a special display room in
the south end of the main dairy
barn.
Leadership Course—
(Continued from Page 1)
Benson, who helped establish 4-H
Club work in the United States,
will give intensive instruction to
persons interested in rural youtn
groups such as 4-H Clubs, Future
Farmer chapters, rural Boy Scout
troops and F.S.A. groups. Mr. Ben
son is now national director of
rural scouting for the Boy Scouts
of America.
The other instructor obtained
for the school is V. K. Brown, di
rector of the playgrounds of the
Chicago Park Board. Mr. Brown
will give attention to recreational
problems and leisure time activi
ties for employed and unemployed
youth. Teachers and recreational
workers for governmental and pri
vate organizations such as the
NYA, WPA, YMCA, and YWCA,
are expected to be particularly in
terested in the June 23-28 pro
gram.
Morning periods will be devoted
to lectures, and the afternoons will
be spent in demonstrations, round
tables, and field trips. Persons in
terested in obtaining college ciedit
for the course may do so under
certain conditions, according to
Mr. Russell.
In 1939 Texas produced 9,988,-
000 gallons of ice cream.
