He will accompany Dr. J 1 . 0., Ware, sen ior agronomist for the department, in the collection of seeds and specif- mens of cotton, beans and other crops for use in federal and state breeding programs. Leading cotton breeders feel the genetic variability of the upland cotton commonly krown in the Uni ted States is becoming too narrow. Ware and Manning hope to find “new blood” to cross with our pop ular varieties to increase their yield to make them more heat ahd drouth resisting, and better able to cope with the hordes of diseases and in sect pests which take a heavy toll on cotton production. It is known that American cot tons grew out of a cross between cotton strains from Asia and from the New World, Manning said. Just when and how these strains came -together is the cause of much speculation among plant breeders. In their search for examples of the original New World strain^ or where cofton .is grown commercial ly. Rather, they will seek what i$ commonly called back-door cotton anikplants that escaped from early cultivation. | ; ' J Manning is familiar with the area to biKyisited. He aceompaniet T. R.

But as that is impossible I hope you will tell them for me. The last time I left A&M was in 1931—came hack ilt ’46 and am now leaving to take a job in Odessa. Does A&M ever forget you? No! I left in ’31, came back in ’46, and was still on probation. As for instructors down here, I have nothing but “good words” for them. They were always nice to me. I enjoyed knowing theta. And students, the “Old Aggie Spirit” isn’t quite dead. You and only you can revive it, bring it back where it used to be. I’m 41 years of age. Don’t you think it is time I RETIRED?
