been a sopree of pnde f6r thone of tin in

given an ofipoftanity to •**t and know
present and future agncultural leader* in
Texan, but we have ween aeveral depart-
menln of the Svutem work hard to
bring credit to thfmselvea and to A6M
Undertaking roundup* such as the one
we have seen thi* week inwolve a tremen-
doua amount of work and planning. That
was evident to anyone who walked around
the campua. Hut all that effort pay* off
ten thousand fold by making |HNMibir dis
tribution and exchange of information of
the latest advancte in agriculture to all
thone who can benffit from it.
It give* ue gn opp< rt ututy to ex|>reH8
our thanks to the hfien wh<xgraduate from
A&M and go out igto the state to aid Tex-
aa fanners and ranchers in improving
th#ir proudetem nod property. And we
ca$ show our appreciation too. to the many
witnen who also aid in this task by work-
m| through the home* of Texas rural
ad. perhaps the heat aspect of
roundup is the occtoion we are afford
ed
to welcome the yoiftig agriculturist* of
Tekaa.
Texas agriculture has always looked
to AAM tq aid in a program of self-ira
prev«ment But this past week that at
tention on our campus was even more pre
judging from what w« have
the component parts of the AAM
which made the roundup possible
m|de Texas' farmers and ranchers glad

We look forward to continued ami ev
er-growing roundup* auch aa we have had
