Page 4 THE BATTALION ^ Thursday, July 19, 1951 W'Wi Latest in Seeds Discussed at Meet “The 18 seedsmen attending- this year’s short course will receive up-to-date information, on the var ious strains and kinds of seeds now on the commercial market or which will appear on the market in the near futm*e,” said Dr. R. C. Potts, Agronomy professor and chairman of the 1951 Seedsmen short course. The purpose of the course is to offer seedsmen and others inter ested in seed testing an opportunity to get first hand information re garding seed laws, identification of crop seed, noxious and other Weed seed, methods and proce dures for making purity analysis and germination tests, Seed clean ing, and artificial drying, he said. Dr. Potts, is in charge of the five day short course for seeds men, sponsored by the college in cooperation with the Texas Seeds men’s Association and the State Department of Agriculture. Analyze Cereal Purity Under the supervision of Miss Wynona Robbins, chief analyst of the State Seed Laboi’atory at Aus tin, the group yesterday learned to test the purity of sample cereal crops. The cereals include wheat, oats, barley and rye. Texas seed laws, which govern commercial seed sales, require rigid tests on samples of the seeds to be sold. The results of these tests must be printed on tags or labels attached to the seeds. These laws were enacted to make it possible for farmers to buy planting seed which can be relied upon to give favorable returns on seed investment. By doing this, it is hoped to increase the net in comes of farm families. Instructor Writes Book Another instructor for the course is professor Hi Staten of Oklahoma A&M College. Staten has con ducted similar courses in Oklahoma and has recently completed a book on farm crops entitled, “Farm Ci’ops: Judging, Identification, and Grading.” Other instructors include J. W.

Europe wants no more (memy occupation, and her whole coopera tion in defense depends heavily upon creation of positions to dim inish that threat. The United States also needs to maintain the line that rearmament of the westem world is for the de fense of free nations against en slavement. The United States likewise can not abandon the position that she is not organizing her own bloc to oppose Russia, but rather is co operating in collective security for the free world. She can seek mili tary bases from anyone, but she cannot afford to seem to be organ izing a separate, non-communist, United Nations. One side angle on political re percussions possible from an Amer ican deal with Franco rests in Latin America, where cultural ties with Spain are strong, and where the U. N. effort to “punish” Franco after the war was largely ignored although not formally repudiated. An American tie with Spain would also be one more bolt in the struc ture of western hemisphere solid arity. “If a man empties his purse into his head, no one can take it from him.” Post Graduation Studies.

State Funds Subscribed The Sisters of St. Francis, who operate St. Joseph Hospital will provide $200,000 and, have applied to the Texas Department of Health for $400,000 in public funds. This area has been given a high priority by public health officials because it now has less than half the minimum number of hospital beds necessary for proper care. Since St. Joseph Hospital is run by a non-profit organization, it is eligible for federal funds set aside to build hospitals. The plan for the addition to St. Joseph Hospital evolved from a two year study by the Inter-City Committee, with Dr. Grant acting as chairman of the hospital sub committee. The addition is consid ered the best solution to the com munity’s most urgent need. Men of High Integrity “In selecting leaders for this vital project, we sought men of highest integrity and standing who understand both the city and coun try people in need of the hospital,” said R. B. Butler, chairman of the hospital’s Advisory Council. “I consider it a great honor to be chosen for a job as important as this one,” commented Chairman Bolton. “It is so clear a duty that no one could refuse even though it is a staggering assignment.” “It will take a lot of enthus iastic people working together to fill our need. All I ask is that every person do his share when called upon to work and contribute. Without this spirit we are power less. With it, I am confident we’ll exceed our goal. “Time to Take Action” “When our neighbors have to wait days to get into the hospital, when there isn’t room for our women and children, it’s time to take action. This is something worth making a sacrifice for,” After making the above State ments, Dr. Bolton said his first step would be to complete the ap pointments of volunteer chairmen for the various necessary commit tees, including those for Bryan and College Station, for the 18 outlying towns served by the hospital, and for businesses and professions. In addition to Butler, the Advis ory Council for the hospital in cludes Coulter Hoppess, George G. Chance, George McCullough, Mon signer J. B. Gleissner, the, Rev. A. T. Dyal, A. L. Kramer, Edward E. Brush, Mit Dansby, Dr. Howard W. Barlow, Brazos Varisco and Dr. Roy L. Smith. HERE THEY ARE!
