markets at fair prices.” He pointed
out that industry and agriculture
are closely linked together in the
matter of national welfare because
in order for farmers to find a
market for their constantly in
creasing production, industry must
be able to maintain production and
employment.
Wickard emphasized that the'
ti’emendous agricultural demand
for goods now unobtainable be
cause of war shortages would pro
vide the stimulus for postwar in
dustrial production. He stressed
particularly the replacement of
farm machinery which has worn
out during the present emergency
then added that great new fields
of farmer consumption are as yet
untapped in the fields of rural
electrification and refrigeration
for farm units.
Wickard indicated strongly that
in order to maintain agricultural
standards of living the government
would maintain price supports for
at least two years after the war
and conduct a long range adjust
ment program to shift farm pro
duction into line with peace time
requirements.
Two Day Conference
The Farm and Industry Confer
ence began Thursday morning with
registration in the lobby of the
Y.M.C.A. and ended Friday after
noon with a conducted tour of gen
eral and specific points on the
A. & M. campus. Approximately
250 leaders of agriculture and in
dustry met in a series of confer
ences during the two day conven
tion to discuss current problems
of industry and agriculture and the
interrelationship of the two.
In commenting on the confer
ence Dean E. J. Kyle, Dean of
the A. & M. School of Agriculture,
said, “The meeting has been very
successful in accomplishing a
meeting of the minds between in
dustry and agriculture. Attendance
was the finest we could have hoped
for.”
Conference Keynote
Dean Kyle keynoted the con
ference Thursday with his talk on
“Current Problems Facing Agri
culture.” Pointing out that the
present war has brought untold
sacrifice of human life, destruc
tion of property, and disorganiza
tion of normal business Dean Kyle
said, “Since history, presenting
centuries of evidence, gives us this
solemn warning, it seems to me
it is our duty to do everything
within our power to prevent this
post-war disorganization that
might be in its final effects more
blighting than the war itself, from
again sweeping this earth, and es
pecially this country, at the close
of this tragic conflict.”
Summarizing the problems con
cerned with wheat, cotton, tobacco,
corn-hog products, peanuts and
soybeans, and beef cattle produc
tion Dean Kyle concluded that aft
er the war farm production would
be geared to 30% above peacetime
demand. As a solution to this Kyle
said that there were only two out
lets, domestic consumption and
foreign markets.
Kyle expressed the opinion of
the majority of national planners

crew is lost with their tank in the
Sahara Desert. They capture a
German column moving into the
American lines and as a whole,
make plenty of excitement.

when he said that farm surplusses
could be best taken care of through
increased national consumption
brought about by full industrial
employment. To accomplish a large
volume of foreign trade Kyle re
marked that world economic and
political security must be guaran
teed.
“What this country sorely needs
well trained world traders in ag
riculture who know their own peo
ple and their economy and peoples
and the economy of all
lands,” was the gist of problems
facing agriculture and industry as
presented by Dean Kyle.

and the opportunities it has given

Dr. Miller cited the advantages
of “the opportunity to combine
station work with college work,
plus the prospect of organizing
a department (of Animal Hus
bandry) in line with my own
ideas” as the principal reason for
accepting the Tennessee connection.
“The Texas A. & M. College ac
cepts Dr. Miller’s resignation with
deep regrets as we consider him
an able, well trained and effi
cient teacher and administrator,”
Dean Kyle said. “He is one of the
best posted men on the sheep and
goat industry we have in the en
tire country.”
“Dr. Miller has rendered es
pecially valuable service to the
Texas A. & M. College in the ad
ministration of the Animal Hus
bandry Department in these trying
times, including the operation of
the meat processing plant which
handles all local killed livestock
for Brazos county, including the
Bryan Army Air Field,” Dean Kyle
added.

of that state.

“It is possible, depending on the
number of deficient students, that
the deans will be able to complete
their interviews before the Thanks
giving, but in the event that they
do not, action on appeals to the
Executive Committee will be
taken immediately after the re
sumption of class work after the
holidays.”
Cooperation in making grade re
ports promptly and accurately was
asked if the faculty and profs were
requested to make it a point to
see that all men attending then-
classes had class cards. The circu
lar stated that if the professor
would send any student who did
not have a card to the office, the
registrar would be glad to make
one out for him immediately.
Instructors should report all
absences from class, including those
authorized or excused, said the
notice, not just cuts. It was asked
that all passing grades be noted
in letters of the alphabet, and those
below 70 numerically.
According to the notice, grades
must be turned in for all students,
including graduates. The class
cards will be returned to the pro
fessors in the same order that
they are sent in, which will usual
ly be by sections. Instructors were
asked to place the grade in the
upper right hand corner of the
card in the space labeled “Grade
to Dec. 1”.

At THE LAST MINUTE two
flat Aggies tried a roll with the
dice. They rolled them real nice
and with such beautiful results, a
trip to Rice.
These two lads were starved.
Their favorite dish was rice with
owl, baked and carved. The owl
was so tough that the Aggies had
to get rough. The feathers flew
and the crowd that they drew was
enough to delight a good Aggies
sight. The game won and over
2000 Aggies sampled the clover
of Houston’s charms so sweet as
all night the cadets chanted, “The
Owls got Beat.”

Both conflicts are essentially eco
