Stimulated Growth
To Eventually Aid
Mesquite Control
A controlled environmental lab
oratory, built for the purpose of
studying the growth and develop
ment of mesquite, is now in opera
tion at A&M.
The laboratory, operated by J. L.
Scoggins, is located on the Range
area at the junction of Easterwood
Road and Highway 60.
Dr. J. R. Runkles and his techni
cian, Charles Wendt, both of the
Department of Soil and Crop
Sciences, are cooperating in the
studies on mesquite. They are
working on a three phased experi
ment: (1) The effects of air tem
perature; (2) the effects of humid
ity; (3) and the effect of soil tem
perature on the water use.
According to Robert Haas, as
sistant professor in the Department
of Range and Forestry, there are
these three main approaches in this
study: (1) Studies concerning the
morphology and anatomy of mes
quite; (2) the influence of field
environment of the growth of mes
quite under natural conditions; (3)
the determination of factors influ
encing growth and development of
mesquite under controlled environ
ment.
The controlled environment
chambers, made of double walled
plexiglass with an air space in be
tween for insulation, and the lab
oratory cost about $35,000, said
Haas. They were completed six
months ago.
The laboratory is equipped with
four chambers, 4 ft. by 8 ft., with
separately controlled lighting for
each. A device known as a “cam”
controls the temperature and hu
midity.
The results from studies in the
facility will eventually aid in find
ing a better way to control mes
quite on Texas rangelands, Haas
said.

A 30-hour course in radiological
monitoring will be offered on cam

Members of the A&M Women’s
Social Club will hear a discus
sion of antiques by Mrs. Mary
Buchanan at 2:30 p.m. Friday in
the Memorial Student Center
Ballroom.
“I Bought an Attic” will be
Mrs. Buchanan’s topic as she
continues in the club’s main
theme of “Going Places With
the Social Club.”
Mrs. Buchanan of Sugarland
is a representative of both the
new and the old: She is an in
terior decorator, and an antique-
hunter.
The attic which Mrs. Buchanan
discovered had been sealed for
175 years. A note found there
said that the furniture was lock
ed away to keep it from the sold
iers. The date of the sealing
of the entrance would place the
occurrence during the Revolu
tionary War.
Wives of Department of Bio
logy members will serve refresh
ments following the talk.
A nursery will be open at St.
Thomas Parish Hall on Jersey
Street. Reservations must be
made by noon Thursday.

Prof Returns
From Mexico
John W. Holcomb, associate pro
fessor in the Department of Agri
cultural Education, returned from
a month's stay as a consultant to
an agricultural school in Coahuila,
Mexico.
Holcomb was sent to Mexico by
the Ford Foundation to divert more
students to the study of agricul
ture.
Holcomb worked with a prepara
tory school for agriculture in San
Pedro, Coahuila. He surveyed
needs of the school and made rec
ommendations. The school, “Agua-
nueva,” is operated by the Uni
versity of Coahuila.
“Fewer than three per cent of
the students enrolled in higher edu
cation in Mexico are being trained
in agriculture. It is probable that
many of this number have urban
rather than rural backgrounds, for
only two per cent of the students
entering grade one of rural schools
complete the sixth grade, and those
who do make only four per cent of
the scholastic population who have
attained this higher level of educa
tion,” Holcomb said.
Holcomb believes that the prob
lem can be alleviated if preparatory
schools are located within reach of
rural youth and with a high per
centage of rural youth as students.
