USDA Official Tells County
Agentsof Rural Obligations
The heaviest responsibility for
the contribution of well equipped
young men and women from each
rural community to the armed
forces, to war industries and to
supporting services during 1943
probably lies with the homemaker,
Reuben Brigham, vice director of
Extension Work, USDA, Washing
ton, told approximately 500 county
extension agents here Tuesday.
Brigham was the chief speaker
at the first session of a four days
conference of county agricultural
agents from 245 Texas counties
and county home demonstration
agents from 194 counties. The
conference ordinarily is held in
connection with the annual Far
mer’s Short Course on the campus
of A. and M. in July. This year,
however, the Short Course was not
held, but the county extension
agents were assembled at this time
to permit discussion of various as
pects of extension work in wartime.
G. E. Adams, vice director and
state agent, presided at the ses
sion, and after group singing led
by Richard Jenkins, director of the
Singing Cadets, F. 0. Montague,
county agricultural agent of Mat
agorda County, pronounced the in
vocation.
Director H. H. Williamson of the
Texas Extension Service, the first
speaker, said that A. and M. has
a challenge to render the maximum
of service of its career “and we
feel pride that Extension Service
workers are a part of the institu
tion which is making a masterful
contribution to the war effort.”
Some 6,500 former students are
in the armed forces, he said, the
majority of whom are commission
ed officers. Two of these were at
Corregidor. The Extension Service,
he said, had the greatest opportun
ity of its career to serve, and it
could be appropriately designated
the “agricultural signal corps,”
because its function was to bring
information to farmers which would
help them to produce at maximum,
Director Williamson pointed to
the heavy task American farmers
will have next year in producing
food and fibre for our civilian and
military populations in addition to
those of our fighting allies with
out increase of farm machinery or
labor.

CAN YOU CLASS COTTON?
Almost all of Texas Agriculture deals
in cotton somehow or other. Therelore
some knowledge of cotton quality is use
ful to all Texas farmers and agricultural
workers.
In order to make such training easily
available the Department of Cotton Mar
keting and the Department of Agronomy
have announced a new course available
the second semester 1942-43.
COTTON MARKETING 2-2—Elementary
Section ' 600-Monday
Cotton Classification (0-2) Credit 1,
Section 500-Monday 2-4 ;Section 501-
Thursday 11-1 ; Section 502-Tuesday

Such a course is simple enough for
every agriculture student and small enough
to be fitted into schedules. Questions will
be gladly answered by Professor J. B.
Bagley, Department of Cotton Marketing
and Dr. Ide P. Trotter, Department of
Agronomy.

it a point to visit with all his
friends here on the Campus each
Sunday and holiday up until 1933
when he started commuting daily
between the college and Bryan to
help out here on the campus. Jim
mie works most of the time, when
not in a good bull session over in
the Cavalry halls or off on a corps
trip, at the commandant’s office
helping with filing official records
and other work in the main office.
Jimmie says with pride and real
Aggie spirit that he notices how
the spirit is kept up every year
by the corps. “I like A. & M. more
than any other school because the
majority of the boys are hard
pressed for ready cash, and must
work their way through school.
This makes them really have the
true Aggie spirit.”
Jimmie can recall how the cam
pus has gi’own since he has been
here. Nearly all the new build
ings have been built since then and
he remembers in great detail
about them all. He tells about the
times when the “toonerville trol
ley” was the one and only means
of transportation between here
and Bryan.
“I have watched coaches put
out good ball clubs for many years;
I’ve seen Matty Bell mold a bunch
of tough Aggies into a cracker-
jack ball club, and then I’ve watch
ed Homer Norton do the same thing
in recent years since 1934, but
I’ve never seen our team break the
jinx in Austin! We’ll do it this
year!” That’s the spirit, Jimmie
Chance, true Aggie. Let’s beat the
h— of Texas, Jimmie!
To judge and examine oneself

the running of Ed Sturcken. Sturck-
en drove over for the score on a
quick opening play from the 15
yard line. Webster again kicked
the extra point.
The final touchdown of the game
came deep in the fourth quarter as
the result of some beautiful run
ning by Bobby Wiliams. The Reds
kicked off and Bobby brought the
ball back thirty yards. On the first
play from scrimmage following
this, Williams found a hole at left
tackle, cut back, reversed his field
twice, and galloped 60 yards to
score.
Jake Webster kicked the conver
sion, his fifth out of five attempts
for the afternoon, and his eighth
starting since Saturday. The end
of the game found the Whites
in possession of the ball on the
White six yard line.

The first uniform for the com
pany was of white with gold orn

was worn for headgear. The pre

the original one, with the suhsti-
tion of the light weight military
cap for the tin helmet.
