Successful Farmers’ Short Course
The increased interest of rural peo-
ple in improved agricultural and home
•conomic practices was forceably dem-
onstrated by the fact that between
J.<00 and 2000 registered at the Annual
Farmers Short Course which was held
at College Station, July 28, to August
2. More than two-thirds of these were
boys and girls from farms who are
to be the rural farm and home makers
of the future. They were gathered
'from such distant points as El Paso
Brownsville, Texarkana, Orange and
the Central sections 6f Texas, and over
200 counties were represented.
During the week, instructional work
Was given regarding improved poul-
try practices, stock judging, livestock
breeding and feeding, better dairy
practices, better agricultural practices
also, gardening, canning and general
conservation of foods, as well as im-
proved home economic practices.
The best talents the College affords
were used to instruct these youthful
farmers and home makers. In order
that there might be some play as well
as work, numerous entertainments
were provided for all those attending
the Short Course.
VALLEY PROSPECT
A statement issued by J. S. Pyeatt
of the Gulf Coast Lines upon his re-
turn from New York City, that if the
proposed merger of the Missouri Pa-
cific-Gulf Coast Lines is granted, the
“Sunshine Special,” the International
Great Northern’s crack train operat-
ing between St. Louis and Texas, pro-
bably will be extended to Browns-
ville.
The “Sunshine Special” at present
is split at Palestine. One train is
run from there to San Antonio and
"Laredo and another train goes to
Houston train that will be extended
on to Bronwsville.
In the opinion of railroad officials
in Brownsville, the extension of the
“Sunshine Special” to the Rio Grande
Valley will mean a third train for
this section. It would leave Houston
somewhere between 6 and 8 in the
evening and arrive in Brownsville
about 7 or 8 in the morning.

Agricultural Paragraph*.
The summer and fall is a fovorable
kason to loo- nswcT your land and
Iscover if ground squirrels, prairie
Jogs, pocket gophers or other rodent
pests are at work and to complete a
clean-up before they return to their
burrows for their long winter sleep
Completion of this task will save much
work next spring.
Measures to combat the damage be-
ing done by insects or diseases to
forest trees may be obtained by ap-
plying to the Agriculture and Mechani-
cal College of Texas.
Farmers should not expect to eradi
cate the boll weevil by poisoning with
calcium arsenate. Proper poisoning
merely controls them .sufficiently tc
permit a fall crop of cotton to develop.
Authorities advise that you can almost
invariably find weevils, even ia the
successfully poisoned field.
Take the stumps and rocks out of
the farm lands during the summer
months.

Twenty-five Freemasons meet at
the Arcade Cafe last Saturday and
honored Judge Lively of Dallas and
Wilber Keith of the Masonic Service
Association, with a chicken dinner.
After the dinner the crowd adjourned
to the Lodge room. A splendid meet-
ing was held and the visitors invited
to return next year.
About sixty farmers heeded the
call of Nat Wetzel and met at the
picture show Saturday and exchang-
ed ideas about how to raise cotton.
The meeting was successful and much
good accomplished. The most im-
portant subject discussed was the
cleaning of fields of cotton stalks and
fence rows as a means of destroying
the boll weevils. Every farmer pre-
sent agreed to clean his field as soon
as possible and to urge his neighbors
to do likewise.
W. W. Grayson is making arrange-
ments to have his farm cleared, south
