McNutt DENTIST Office in Parker Building Over Canady’s Pharmacy Phone 2-1457 Bryan, Texas A & M Extension Service Completes Research on Cotton Dusting cotton for insect control pays dividends. This was estab lished by complete returns from demonstrations conducted during 1942 in nine counties under the supervision of the A. & M. College Extension Service. According to Paul Gregg, assistant extension entomologist, the demonstration acreages ranged from one to 100, and in each instance the dusted plots were checked against adja cent undusted plots. Comparisons of average acreage yields of treated and untreated cotton showed striking contrasts. A demonstration in Hamilton County yielded a gain in produc tion of slightly more than 100 per cent for dusted cotton against the return from the undusted check plot. This comparison was made solely on lint produced. Other comparisons were made on the yield of seed cotton. Outstanding yields for treated cotton in other counties included: Milam County, 488 pounds an acre; Hamilton County (No. 2 demon stration) 480 pounds; Haskell County, 370 pounds; Taylor Coun ty (one of three demonstrations), 230; Cooke County (one of two demonstrations), 219; and John son County, 200 pounds. Applications of dust ranged from to eight, and the cost per acre from $6.14 to $2.25. The average acre cost for 15 demonstrations in the nine counties was $3.52, and the average net profit on the basis of increased production, $10.60. Perhaps the story is told better in the profits from individual demon strations. One in Hamilton Coun ty returned a net profit of $29.37 an acre; Milam County $28.46; Haskell County $15.85; one in Cooke County $13.43; Grimes County $9.36, and Navarro County $9.23. The demonstrations began in 1941 with the purpose of showing the benefit of systematic insect control under practical farming conditions. Cooperating farmers agreed to designate required acre ages and continue the demonstra tions for three years according to prescribed procedure under the su pervision of county agricultural agents.

Bill Jones is dead. He was a soda jerker in a small town, and when the bands blared and the flags fluttered, he signed up for the navy. They put him on a torpedo boat. He learned to wear his hat on the corner of his head, and to roll when he walked. Then his boat got into a scrap down in the South Seas. Bill stood by his gun and laughed when he fired it, but a shell hit it’s deck beside Bill. When he tried to pull himself to his feet, he saw that his right arm was in the scuppers five feet away. He reached for his gun with his left hand and then things went black. The list of the ship rolled a dead sailor into scuppers where his dismembered arm lay. Its extended thumb touch ed the tip of his nose, so that in death as in life, Bill was thumbing his nose at the Jap ship that got him. This was the same day you were raising hell because they were rationing gasoline, and for fear you couldn’t drive up to the lake to go fishing every week end this summer, you hid four cans of gasoline in your garage. Bill Jones is dead. Government Needs Technical War Workers Men and women are sought to fill positions as technical and scientific aid in the Federal Gov ernment. They are needed to do research and testing in the follow ing fields: chemistry, geology, geophysics, mathematics, metallur gy, meteorolgy, physics, and radio. The positions pay $1,620 to $2,600, plus overtime. Applicants may qualify through experience or education. For the assistant grade, applications will be accepted from persons who have completed 1 year of paid exper ience or a war training course ap proved by the U. S. Office of Ed ucation. One year of college study, including 1 course in the option applied for, is also qualifying. Persons now enrolled in war train ing or college courses may apply, subject to completion of the course. For the higher grades successively greater amounts of education or experience are required. The majority of positions are in Washington, D. C., but some will be filled in other parts of the United States. There are no age limits, and no written test is re quired. Applications and complete information may be obtained from first and second-class post offices, from civil service regional offices, and from the Commission in Wash ington, D. C. Applications will be accepted at the U. S. Civil Service Commission, Washington, D. C., until the needs at the service have been met. Turn your snap-shots in for the 1944 Longhorn.

Notre Dame Gets Sixteen Ex-Aggies For Naval Training Word has been received from the Navy public relations officer at Notre Dame University, Notre Dame, Ind., that a total of 16 for mer Aggies have entered the U. S. Naval Reserve Midshipman’s School located on the campus of the uni versity. Included among those listed are Bill Buchanan, former football end and assistant freshman coach last year. Also among the group is Bobby Sabins, who played basket ball the past two years. While the trainees are at the school they are trained in seaman ship, navigation and ordnance and otherwise are drilled and instruct ed in the duties of an officer in the U. S. Navy. When they have successfully completted the four-month course at the end of May, 1943, they will be commissioned ensigns and as signed to active duty at sea or shore stations. Some of the gradu ates will be sent to advanced Navy schools for specialized training. Those at Notre Dame include: A. W. Burgess, C. E. Range, M. M. Rogers, W. J. Bryant, Jr., W. L. Pendleton, H. Foust, C. C. Grif fiths, K. L. Neely, M. J. Wizig, J. Sparger, J. A. Kasper, L. G. Horne, W. C. Huber, and Buchanan and Sabins. Turn your snap-shots in for the 1944 Longhorn.

As Clyde Best kick ed the ball it was knocked hack over the end zone by the forward wall of the Field team. The Coast team passed to Best who this time made his kick good. The kick which was one of the longest in the game, traveled for 60 yards going out of bounds on the 35 as the first period ended 2-0 in favor of E Field. E Field kept this two point lead winning the game 7-5. L Inf. slipped by A Replace ment center 4-3 in a speedball game at the close of last week, while I Field, headed by McAda, Sims, and Lehmann bested 7th Corps Headquarters 10-2.

Inkless Recording Instrument Now Available for Low Cost Sensitivity One of the objectives of modern instrument design has been to de velop an alternative to the pen-and- ink system of recording on a chart the movements of electrical meas uring elements. Naturally, any al ternative should have higher sensi tivity, improved reliability, and lower cost and weight. During the course of develop- mant, many recording methods were tried using such marking data as carbon paper, carbon rolls, chemically treated paper, etc. In the search for the most practical inkless recording system, it became apparent that the intermittent marking or dotting system had not been utilized to the fullest extent. With the exception of the continu ity of record, this marking system appeared to have very definite ad vantages over the use of liquid ink. An intensive study was made with a view of obtaining rates of dotting sufficiently high to obtain a continuous record for all practi cal purposes. 'Although this system had been used for many years, ap parently no successful attempts had been made to produce an in strument having a dotting rate much in excess of one dot per min ute. It was felt that if dotting rates in the order of one per sec ond or faster could be obtained, the record on all normal chart speeds would be sufficiently continuous to be satisfactory for commercial cir cuit analysis. As a result of tests made on va rious instruments, it was found that there was a definite relation ship between the rate of dotting, the responsiveness, and the torque of the electrical element. For in stance, assuming an instrument with a response of one second, a dotting rate of one per second could be imposed upon the moving system of an element in the indi cating-instrument group of torque values, while considerably higher dotting rates could be successfully used on instruments of the same response but of greater torque values. The reason for this is ap parent when it is considered that any striking mechanism must of necessity deflect the moving sys tem slightly, and the element should, therefore, be given time to recover from this deflection before the next blow. Also, the greater the torque of the instrument, the less the system is deflected by the striking mechanism. It is, of course, necessary that a high order of me chanical precision be maintained on all moving parts to reduce to a minimum the amount of deflection given the pointer by this mechan ism. Operation A conventional high-torque re corder, originally designed for use with liquid ink, but is now equip ped with an inkless recording unit in place of the usual capillary pen and inkwell. This type of instru ment has a response of one second and a full-scale torque of 230 milli meter grams. With this high-torque condition, it was found that a dot ting rate of four per second could be used without causing the ele ment to deviate from its true indi cating position. A metal stylus re places the pen, and the back end of the stylus is deflected downward by means of a four-point cam. driven by a Telechron motor at 60 rpm. This causes the front end of the stylus to rise approximately % inch above the chart surface and fall by its own weight upon a type writer ribbon stretched across the top surface of the chart, thus leav ing a series of dots on the face of the chart. The rotating cam is lo cated over the center of rotation of the moving element, thus reducing to a minimum any tendency to de flect the pointer sideways, or to impose any appreciable frictional load upon the moving system. Has Advantages The typewriter ribbon on this re corder is driven by a second Tele chron motor at such a rate that the ribbon spools need reversal but once a month. The complete device is a self-contained unit that may be included as an optional feature on recording instruments for measur ing voltage, current, power, power- factor, frequency, or practically any other electrical quantity. This device offers a solution to many problems associated with the use of liquid ink, such as freezing, evaporation, spillage, and limited length of operation before reserv icing. Thus, with a chart speed of one inch per hour, a high degree of reliability of operation may be assured for a complete month’s time with but a single servicing. For use with portable instruments, such a unit offers many conven iences. It may be transported in a car or truck without danger of ink spillage and is immediately ready for service as soon as it is connect ed to the power supply.
