Evening Worship. All are invited to attend all these serv ices. You will be most welcome. Botanists It is probable that there are more people interested in botany then in any other field of science. There are more than 30 persons asso ciated with A. & M. College who have a professional interest in botany. Most of these men and women are interested primarily in some applied form of botany, such as genetics, biochemistry, horti culture, agronomy, landscape art, etc. Because of man’s wide interest in plants there are few who cannot be called amatenr botanists. Botanists, both amateur and professional, are constantly curious about some dbotanical phenomenon. Some of the questions that are brought forth are as follows: Is it edible? (“All flesh is grass”— Isaiah XXXVIII, 1). Is it poison ous? Will it induce hay fever? Is it a good ornamental? How can it be eradicated? Is it a good honey plant? Is it a source of drugs? Will it produce rubber? Is it an indica tor of soil, weather, or ancient history ? In general, how can it be exploited commercially? Hay Fever Recently an official of an Ohio city wanted to know about the dis tribution of giant and small ray- weed in Texas. It is assumed that he was interested in recommending a spot in Texas free of hay fever- producing plants. There are at least 10 species of ragweed in Texas that induce hay fever. These in- cludt species that are sometimes called the giant ragweed and the smaller ragweed. Some species of ragweed are beginning to bloom in this area now. COLLEGE AVE. BAPTIST CHURCH 203 N.

There are 90 or more species of plants in Texas that will cause hay fever in susceptible individuals. Many of these plants grow around College Station.

Alien Plants Man, Your Manners By I. Sherwood Letters of Congratulation No people-are more popular than those who remember important an niversaries of their friends and never fail to recognize them with cards or notes of congratulation. Often it is in the form of a tele gram. Whatever its form, all of us a^e glad to be remembered. You must send your congratula tions to friends who become en- me that the fruit of the shrub, Feijos, can be used in the same manner as that of the Guava plant of the Tropics. Guava fruit- is used for making jelly, etc. Feijoa, commonly known as Pineapple Gua va, is a native of Southern South America, but grows as an orna mental on the A. & M. campus. Sr. Jacinto Rivera of Puerto Sico has told me that Guava jelly is put up in small cakes on that island and distributed and used somewhat like candy bars. Prof. W. M. Potts, of the Dept, of Chemistry has been doing re search on the seed of the Chinese Tallow Tree (Sapium sebiferum). This tree is endemic to China and Japan. It makes a fine, quick-grow ing ornamental and may be a good source of oil and fat. Good speci mens of this tree may be seen on the lawn of Mr. and Mrs. R. K. Fletcher and in front of the studio of Miss Marie Haines. The Chinese Tallow Tree belongs to the same family as our native Cot ton Weed, the spurge family, Eu- phorbiaceae. Two other locally grown exotic trees belonging to this same family are the Tung Oil Tree and the Pistachio Tree. Spe cimens of the last two mentioned are growing on the Horticulture Farm. If you had lived here 115 years ago you would have seen this country without Johnson Grass. This grass is a native of Southern Europe and Asia and was probably brought to this country from Tur key. It was first grown on a large scale by Col. Wm. Johnson near Salem, South Carolina. Needless to say, Col. Johnson’s original plot of 10 acres has expanded some what. gaged, to a new groom, to one Who is elected or appointed to a high office, to a graduate, to parents of a new-born child or to any friend who for any reason has done something which makes him sappy or successful. Letters of congratulation should be answered personally with the one exception that a very import ant man may be too busy.
