Aggie Ag Education
Class Makes Visit To
Burleson Co. Acres
Lust week the Agricultural Edu-
cation class from AAM College
under Instructor Ben Cook visited
the Burleson County Agent V. A.
Andrews.
This was a half duy field trip of
the Hracos river bottom to inspect
cotton fields and study work being
done by the agent.
Cotton inspected belonged to
Pete Scurmardo, who has 400
acres planted in the bottom this
year.
Agent Andrews said that last
year about 8,000 acres were sprayed
out of a total 43,000 acres of cot-
ton planted. But this year about
25,000 acres have been sprayed to
control the boll worm and other
cotton pests. It was not stated how
many acres are planted.
The insecticide used was toxa-
phene at a cost of approximately
76 cents plus equipment cost which
totals to about $1.80 per acre. An
drews stated that early insect
control sets the lower 1-2 of the
squares and thereby increases the
potential yield.
The class also saw the effects oí
fertilization on two different fields
and was shown how the potential
yields expected are above that
from unfertilized fields.
This wgis the third trip of a
series of trips planned for the class
by Instructor Cook.

YOUR Attention is called to

WILLIAM Feather, editor of the
little magazine called "Imperial"
expresses my sentiments when he
says: "In a vocation such as writ-
ing, one theory is that a writer
gains something by eating in cafe-
terias even though he can afford
to eat in choice restaurants and
clubs. It is said that he picks up
ideas if he rides in coaches instead
of Pullmans, or sits in the bleuch-
ers instead of boxes at sports
events.
"To this I say I'm not interested.
"From necessity, I had my day
in cheap restaurants, smelly ho-
tels, railroad coaches, YMCA cots
and ill-fitting clothes. The memory
of them is all 1 need to know. My
sympathy with those who have
been unable to achieve anything
better is deep.
"For myself I now want the best
I can afford and, in my opinion,
so does everyone else. Except front
memory, I can't report how it feeis
to be penniless and hungry, tun-
ean I report what it is like to a
man who is used to it to sleep in a
bug-infested bed. Nor do I think
enyone can, if he has been accus-
tomed to something better."

EVERYBODY likes to think
that he is entitled to a little
more consideration than the oth-
«?r fellow. Ti a '-., why the only
effect ve wa\ of keeping people
under control ¡«i to charge for
each >pecial privilege. Sure,
they'd like an i-xtra pat of but-
ter, an extra iruuite on the tel-
ephone, a rush delivery of mrr
chandise, a thicker steak, a ¡tet-
ter seat in the theatre, and a
large room in the hotel, but
they hack away from an extra
charge as they would front it
tail It snake. "You can ha 'o it
if yoj v ant to pay for it." nun
be truel words but they keep
order and eliminate lone-winded
explanations,
I HAVE read recently where o,>-
<ervers have long been puzzlc-d by
the mass movements of birds. They
wonder by what method they sig-
nal each other what to do next. A-
many as fifteen thousand gulls will
rise simultaneously like n huge
magic carpet. Then the whole lot
will descend just as perfectly. Ha\<-
you ever tried to creep upon a
I lock of duck." or a pond and seen
thent rise as if they were one it
the slightest noise or movemen' ?
Then you know how they d nO.< e
Then you know how they do. One
writer thinks that birds must In-
able to transfer thought by a sort
of telepathy. How otherwise c n
their wonderful mass maneuvers In-
explained T What prevents collision"
between birds in flight? One natur-
alist says that he has never, in
many years of bird watching, seen
an accident.
