P. S. If the “worried” students
are going to forget - all they
learned during a two week vaca
tion, they are wasting college.
They will surely forget every
thing during the summer.
If the Academic Council wants
to know how the students feel,
they: could take ajrote among the
students. That would, seem more
democratic to us.

By the time you have finished
reading this, your copy of the
November Agriculturist will have
reached your post office, or if
it hasn’t, it will be well on its
way. All subscriptions and news
stand copies of the magazine were
put into the mails yesterday.
Most subscription holders and
copy purchasers will not be dis
appointed as the editors say this
edition is one of the best ever to
have been published. I will agree
with them on this point.

ies covering various' agricultural
phases and an increased number of

.Cover Inadequate
Although the cover, a reversed
line-cut of a horse peacefully
grazing and a halftone shot of a
bee hive, extends a limp hand to
the readers grasp, material inside
makes up for this deficiency. ’
The necessity of unity among
farm population and of agricul
ture is brought out by the edi
tors in an editorial I label as in
spiring.
“Spare That Wood”, by John W.
Thomas, sheds light on our timber
situation and should be of interest
to bonfire builders for years to
come. Another article of even high-
:er i*oncern to Aggie readers is
j“Texas Deer and Our Problem”

by Curtis R. McLeod. It gives a
brief outline of what is happening
to our deer population, and what
work is being done toward re
stocking overhunted areas.
According to the author, our
state is overpopulated by the four
legged ruminants. What! You don’t
agree ? Well, suppose you read the
article and review the facts before
you get after the writer.
Outstanding in the field of agri
cultural writing is the success
feature article on an ex-collegiate
athletic trainer. M. W. Kelley of
Bastory started “From the Bottom
Up” and formed the basis of the
story by Nat. M. Kennedy.
Financial Aid
What every cadet in need of
funds sliould have stashed away
somewhere is a pecan orchard in
at least its tenth or fifteenth year of
production. Why? According to J.
R. Sahol id “A Lifetime Invest
ment,” all you have to do Is bor
row a coupla thousand, plant pecan
trees, sit down, and let them grow.
This might be an instance where
money grows on trees.
, "Fish Wont to be Big" by B.
J. Henderson, should interest
every pond owner or potential own
er, in that it identifies some of
the common faults made by pond
owners, Pointers for stocking ponds
and fish growth cycles are also
included in the article.
The greatest fault of the Agri
culturist is the article "Gulf
Const Paradise” by F. D. Con
nell. Author Connel depicts the
handicap of Gulf Coast farming,
and with attempted humor tries
to brighten the story that should
have been cut down in the first
place.
Series Begins
Beginning in this issue, the Ag
riculturist will print articles con
cerning the activities at other
colleges under the A&M System.
"Something To Cackle About” by
Jimmie! Darling, is the first in this
series. The article concerns itself
with the poultry production and
testing methods used at Tarleton
State College.
Everyone makes mistakes. The
Agriculturist is no exception. Even
