D. E. D. Ball. Director of Scienti-
fic Work Department of Agriculture
said that England and France in
spite of financial stress have increas-
ed their budgets for agricultural re-
search and the time has arrived/
when America if it is to hold it A!
place among the forward-looking na*
tions must recognize its dependence
on research and proceed at once to
organize its scientific forces for the
problems at hand. America must en-
courage especially scientific investi-
gation and development in agricul-
tural and industrial lines tending to-
ward national development.
The association strongly-urged tlvnl
every effort be extended in securing
favorable action by congress on thi
Purnell bill which provides for in-
creased appropriation for State ex-

NATIONALIZATION OF
RAILWAYS CONSIDERED
BY IRISH GOVERNMENT
DUBLIN Dec. I.— The commission
appointed by the Iri-h government to
inquire into the wot kings of the Irish
railways has just reported with one
dissenting vote in favor of the nation-
alization of the railways by the Mate.
It is recommended however that the |
management be not in the hands of a ;
State Minister but by a National Rail-
way Boaid representing the various in-
terests. 'including labor.
The present market value of the en-
tire railway stock in Ireiend is estima
ted at between twenty-five und thirty
millions pounds sterling which it is
suggested should be acquired by a tri-
bunal that would issue bonds at rea-
sonable interest and redeemable from
a sinking fund in installments every
ten years. The project of nationaliza-
tion. however has been broadly criti-
cized; it is not populur.
Tre Irish railways art* at present be
ing run under difficulties. During the
war fares were raised llMi percent al-
though the increase in England was
only 75 percent. This has now been re-
duced to 50 percent while the Irish
100 pcicent increase remains unalter-
ed.

\HOW TO PREPARE EXHIBITS
FOR THE MAD-WINTER FAlh
_
1 (Louis H. Alsmcycr County
Agricultural Agent)
Fair time is nearly here and next
week we will all be very busy get-
ting ready fot the bigest Fair ever
held south of Fan Antonio. Nearly
eyeryone is preparing to ha\* some
;Exhibits at the Valley Fair nlHar-
ingen December 12-loth. Several
people have asked for information
regarding the preparations of their
exhibits for the fair.
Of course the first thing is to
have a premium book and entry
blank. The latter should be filled
on; arm sent in immediately. If you
have not received either or both of
these write to J. B. Challis of liar- '
lingen. He is the secretary of our
Valley Fair. The entry blanks should
be filled out according m tho in-
structions in the premium book.
In selecting the exhibits remember
that it is the entry that is the near-
est to the most desirable type that
we want and not a freak of nature.
An extra large article or product
will not necessarily win a prize and
it is very seldom that an entry of
this kind does win a prize.
if there is more than one piece
that goes to make up the exhibit the
individuals of the class should be as
near alike in size shape condition
and appearance as is possible. They
should present a uniform as well as a
pleasing appearance.
The fitting of livestock for the
fair is a job that requires consider-
able work if it is properly done. All
of tho animals rogardies of breed or
j type should he spotlessly clean and
j neat in appeaance. The animals
j should be taught to stand in the cor-
j rect positions so as to show off to
the best advantage and not to be
afraid of strangers. One cannot ex-
j poet to win all that he should with
' an animal if it is nervous or shy and
the judge canont handle it well as
to get a good view of it.
In fitting hogs they should be
washed first about ten days before
the Fair then three days before and
t then again the day before the Fair.
When washing the hogs the water
should be warmer than the outside
air. A large amount of water and
good Fine Tar soap should be used.
This should be used in conjunction
with a stiff bristled brush and plen-
ty of “elbow grease.” When thru
washing the skin should be clean
and free from all dirt or scabs. The
hair should then te brushed out
straight and parted down the center
of the hack or over the spinal col-
umn. On the day before tin- show
a little Neats Foot Oil should be
rubbed on the hair so as to give it a
pleasing appearance and to make it
stay where it is brushed. The hair
should be clipped off of the ears and
tail taking care that a large switch!
is left on the end of the tail.
In fitting cattle they are washed;
and clipped. Th-j amount of each
depending upon the breed and type.
Dairy rattle are washed very little
hut are clipped and kept blanketed
for several days before the Fair.
They are brushed and rubbed several
times each day so as to give them
a soft glossy coat. The horns are
cleaned off with a knife and then
sandapaperd very smooth. AtVVr
this they are polished with good
metal polish or linseed oil. Horns
of cattle will take as good a polish
as wilt high grade furniture.
In preparing chickens for the show
thev arc cleaned and washed with
warm water several times and then
if the birds have any white plumage
a little bluing is added to the last
wash water. Much care to see that
the feet are clean and trimmed.
In selecting the citrus fcuit spe-
cial care should be taken to see that
all the fruit is true to type and va-
riety. Special care should be exer-
cised to see that all th« fruit that
goes to make up the plate or entry
is as much alike and uniform as is
possible. The fruit should be cut
off with a sharp knife or pruning
shears instead of being pulled off. A
cut of one point is made on an entry
for each missing stem. The fruit
should be free from all blemishes and
insects. There are a large number
of orchards in which the scale in-
sects are present in large quantities
and any scale must be cleaned off of
the fruit. This ran best be done
with a stiff bristled brush and soapy
water.
The fruit should present a neat
and attractive appearance. The rind
should not be thick. The fruit
should he juicy and have very little
rag or pulp. The fruit should be
wHI flavored and true to type.
One of the best ways to tost fruit >
to bo shown is to place it in water
in a large pan or basin. If there" is
more of the surface of a pomelo or
grapefruit than the size of a half of
a dollar floating above tb.» water
the fruit does not contain a high
enough juice content to make a win-
ning entry of fruit. Not more of
the surface than the size of a quar-'
ter should float above the water
ivhen testing oranges or lemons.

DEFINITE PROGRAM
ARRANGED ' ) FIGHT
FUGUE IN TEXAS
Al’STIN Texas. Dec. 1.—“Every pen-
1 ny that is given in exchange fur Christ-
; mas Seals in Texas will be put to work
on a definite program for carrying on
! the Crasade against the white plague
and promoting good health” says n
statement issued today by Mr. J. \V.
Butler Secretary of the Board of Di-
rectors of the Texas Public Health As- (
sociation and former president of the
Texas Bankers’ Association.
Secretary Butler issued the following
appeal to the public to support the seal
sale which begins Thanksgiving Day
and lasts until Christmas:
“The reappearance of the Christmas
seals for the fifteenth season is a re- ;
minder of the wonderful progre. s
which has been made in our state
and in the ration in decreasing the ra-
vages of tubrrculo is nnd also of the
problem which still confront us.
“It is estimated that if tuberculosa 1
were eliminated as a cause of death. 1
two and one half years would be added
to the life of each individual in the !
country. Capitilising each indivdual
life in a population of 100.000000 at
$100.00 per year the net saving would
be at least 2'» billion dollars. The eco-
nomic 1;!. due to tuberculosis is' one
thn* should appeal to a business nation. I
“There is no work in which we are
engaged that is so useful as that of
protecting The health c.f our boys and j
girls. Kurils raised through t?ie annual
sale of Christmas seals are being used
for pieventntive work among children.
It is a noble and necessary measure of
self-protection in which every one can I
have a part and from which ever- in-
d:\iilua! derive? some beiiefi*.”

WHY EL PASO IS
CALLED THE PORT
OF MISSING MEN
KL PASO. Texax. Dec. 1.—How to
blot out the imputation El Paso is ac-
quiring as “the port of missing men"
is troubl'ng El Paso officers and other
citizens of El Paso. An average of
three men a week are reported missing
fiom trains and from El J’aso hotels.
Juarez is blamed.
Persons who fail to make arrange-
ments for the ten-day stopover privi-
lege while going through here see
Juarez. Mexico from the train talk to
others on the train and at the station
and decide to get off between sched-
ules and “.>ee Mexico." Lots of them
nr as their tram. Some leave their bag-
iracc on the train. Some leave thoir
ticket and suit cases at the station for
safekeeping and when they fail to call
for them promptly the police are ask-
ed to look for them.
Some are so struck witn the sights
of Juarez an] other things there that
thev decide to stav over a day or so.
This also will cnll for a request to
look out for them.
On many occasions persons expecting
relatives on a certain day telegraph
the police to look them up when they
have been known to get as far as El
Paso and then have been delayed on
reaching their destination.
In the vast majority of cases nothing
serious happens. At times however
persons lose umbrellas suitcases over-
coats and the like and some lose mon-
ey. Few who have remained too long or
who have not uuarJcd their steps have
been robbed and a very few killed as
would be the case in any city.

POLICEMAN SAVES SHOES j
OF AMERICAN TOURIST
MEXICO CITY. Dec. lV-The Ameri-
can tourist with his scanty knowledge
of Spanish and his supposedly unlimi-
ted affluence is always an object of
j prey for certain classes of vendors in
‘ Mexico. A Mexico City bootblack how-
I ever went the limit recently when he
attempted to charge two peiot for a
shine. *.
The American refused to pay the boy
was obdurate and. as a last resort
said he would accept no money but
would remove the shine. He started to
do it with a sharp knife much to tha
detriment of good shoe leather. A gen-
darme hove in sight and the polish waa •
restored. The American retaliated by
paying only half price.
