B. W. Clayton and Bill Burrow, ropmmates of Law 4 J,
traveled to Chicago over the July 4 holidays via the thumb.

TheyJeft College Station at 11 a.ro. Friday, and at 6:3P p.m
Saturday the two were in diown
town Chicago after covering 1163
miles in 31 Vfc hours, at a co^t of
$2 each.
The two wen^ up via Dallas;
Muskogee, Oklahoma; Joplin, Mis
souri; Springfield, Illinois, and
then to Chicago.
Clayton and Burrow regi^ter-

Saturday night and Sunday

thepi an opportunity to spertd much
time at home so a short jaunt to
Chicago would occupy their spare
time over the Fourth. The scowls
of [disbelief in their ability from
their friends and a tempting wag
er were only partly responsible
fori the trip.
'’he waning Aggie Spirit of the
tw osome got a big boost while

through hie i32 room mansion.
Their advice is for Aggies looking
for a good place to spend a jweek
to go to Springfield, as there ieems
to be an overabundance of the fe
male species located there.
By 6:30 a.m. Tuesday they
were in Hearne with 7 o’clock
classes staring them in; the

The cotton tour members visited
Quebec, on the St. Lawrence Riv

Chicago Board of Trade by Mr.
F. C. Bisson, The Board’s Director
of Public Relations. Bisson inform
ed the group that the Board is
ceelbrating its 100th year. He
said that 85 r /c of the wheat trad
ing in the U, S. is conducted in
the wheat pits at the Board.
A normal (jay's trading at the
Board begins at 9:30 a.m. with the
sounding of a traditional bell, and

Dr. Aberg is in the tlnited
States under the sponsorship of
the Swedish Pioneer Centennial in
Chicago.
Crop production and other | meth
ods of increasing food oatpbt for
the Scandinavian countries Was of
main interest in the talk. ;
Sweden and Denmark do not
as yet import grain as do Nor
way and Finland. The improved
quality of grain in Swedien is
due to effort^ there. To j com
pare with this new crops pf oil
producing plants for fat3 and
higher types of food for! live
stock is being grown.
One of the greatest assets to
the Swedish farmer is the presence
of farm machine stations] from
which the farmer can re^t ma^
chinery. These stations a^e pri
vately owned but supported)by the
government to insure their suc
cess. j - • i
Norway is aiming at thp same
development of their agricultural
resources as before the war, he
said. Finns are also trying to
achieve their prewar production
quota despit^ their loss df land
to the Russians. ‘ * j
Dr. Aberg . spoke Thursday
afternoon on “General Problems
in Weed Control,” before a
group of professors and students
in the Extension Service! Lec
ture Room.
btaiistics gathered at the Uni
versity of Uppsala show th^t fifty
million dollars a year or ten per
cent of all crops in Sweden are
lost due to weeds. At present the
study is. being made to determine
the , delicate stage of thg weed
seeds. It has already been deter
mined that the seeds are loft over,
from year to year and niust bd
killed out entirely the year be
fore a new crop of cereal is to
lie planted.
Chemicals used include sodium
chlorate, which Dr. Aberjg says
gives doubtful results. Ampng the
most desirable chemicals. u)^ed are
methoxin and 2,4-D. The mjethoxin.
being the milder of the jtwo is-
ised on delicate crops such jas flaxr
while 2,4-1) is used against! thistle
and dandelions in the fieartier’,
crops.
Spraying as a means bf dis
tributing the chemical is not
considered advisable bjecause
neighboring fields are damaged
by the chemicals being carried
over by the wind.
After leaving A&M, Drj Aberg
■#
is [going to the University of C|hi-
calgo for a series of lectures. From
there he will visit the Middle West
aijd; then will go to California.
Hp expects to return to! Sweden

showed the group the steps in the
manufacture of a tractor, from
the casting of the parts in the

them to several points of interest
in Chicago.
