College Station, Texas, May 26,
1909.
Prof. E. J. Kyle of the depart-
ment of Horticulture of the A. &
M. College of Texas, who is sec-
retary also of the Texas State
Horticultural Society, is making
arrangements to issue the pn>
gram for the meeting which is
to take place during the Farmers'
Congress in the latter part of j
July. There is a vice president;
in each congressional district and
a chairman for each commit-
tee having charge of various
fruits. He is writing to each of
these asking that they suggest!
names for places on the program, j
There will be a special elfortl
made this year to have a fine |
display of fruits, vegetables and
flowers, and as the Farmers'
Congress comes during the latter
part of July it will give an oppor-
tunity for the growers to show 1
the best to be had.
Not only do the graduates of j
the A. &. M. College of Texas j
find positions as soon as they are
out of school but efforts are made
to place boys who are still pursu-
ing their studies, so they can get
practical benefits in between
college sessions. It is the policy
of the animal husbandry depart-
ment to get these positions for
the students. When John C. |
Burns, now professor of animal j
husbandry, was a student he |
worked during the summer on
stock farms, and he has been
arranging to place some of the
boys for the coming summer.
He has a letter from W. S., J.
B. and B. Dunham, importers
and breeders of percherons,
French coach and Belgian horses,
owners of the Oakland farm,
wayne, DuPage county, 111., say-
ing they will employ Byron Gist
and K. M. Trigg, two of the stu-
dents, during the coming sum-
mer. This will give these boys
a chance to learn the practical
work .that is so very necessary
for them. The animal husband-
ry department finds places also
for the boys who graduate.
The following statement has
been given out by H. H. Har-
rington, Director of Texas Ex-
periment Stations.
' 'The recent law passed by the
31st Legislature establishing ad-
ditional experiment stations, pro-
vides that two of these stations
shall be established west of the
98 meridian, one of which shall
be in West Texas, one shall be
located in what is known as the
Black Land Belt in central or
north Texas, and one shall be in
the Rice Belt of south or south-
east Texas, and at such other
point as said Board shall desig-
nate.
"An appropriation of $25,000
annually is made for the mainte-
nance and support of such sta-
tions as shall be established by a
board consisting of the Governor,
the Lieutenant Governor and
Commissioner of Agriculture. It
is probable, therefore, that at
least five new stations will be
established, and perhaps more,
since $5000 per year will be suf-
ficient for each station when
land is donated by lease or sale,
even without an additional bonus,
but it is probable that most of
the competing places will con-
tribute something more than the
land. It is not obligatory upon
the Board to require any donat-
ion of money or property when
deciding upon the location of the
stations."

The following advertisement
in the Owensboro (Ky.) Inquirer
is worth reprinting:
"Notice-Know all men by
these presents, that I, Shadrach
H. Armstrong, have coal oil for
sale at 15 cents per gal. Some
say it ain't good oil, but I say it
is. I will also tie your broom
corn, one-half for the other. I
crush corn every Thursday < by
tollgate. Turkeys picked very
promptly any day of week.
Horseshoeing a specialty at six
bits around. Watch and pistol
repairing guaranteed. Shoes
half soled while you wait. Um-
brellas fixed and ax handles made
for 15 cents. Will teach south-
ern harmony and the fiddle com-
bined for $3 mo. Pictures en-
larged by a new process, and my
hot tamale and hair oil receipt
go 330 days for 25 cents. Hair-
cutting only on Sat. eve., 20 cents

Wagon Hoist, the Tom McElrath
Tobacco Duster and Foot's Med-
ical Advertiser. Rufe Langston
is my attorney and my terms are
cash—first, because I know you;
second, because 1 don't know
you."
Owensboro is fortunate in hav-
ing a Jack-of-all-trades who adds
to his list of accomplishments a
sense of humor.
