The Great Cycle Show.

To say that the ''cycle Show has been

THE UNIVERSITY REGENTS.

There was a full meeting of the, board
of University regents yesterday. a good
deal of business, mainly of routine
character as to the details of University
management, was transacted.
The most important action taken, per-
haps, was the appointment of land agent
to traverse and report upon the condition
of the University lands, with the view
of disp0ssessing trespassers and promo
ting leases. Thos. J. Lee of Waco was
appointed, at a salary of $500:
The acting president, DR.. Waggener,
presented a report of the faculty, cover
ing number of suggestions, some of
which were adopted and others referred
to special committees.
The board authorized the faculty to
organize University summer school and
made a small appropriation for prelim-
mary eXpenses-the school to be mainly
self-sustaining.
An important communication was read
from Chancellor Fulton of the Univer-
sity of Mississippi, stating that there is
an opportunity in bill which has been
introduced in the senate at Washington
by the executive committee of the Nation
al Association of State Universities to
secure large material aid for the Univer-
SHY VI leAdS. L here is every reason 10
believe" he says, that if the proposed
bill is earnestly seconded by the friends
of each institution concerned it will be-
come law" The bill will be proposed
in the house in the next 10 days.
A resolution by Regent Ball was
adopted, favOring the suggestions of
Chancellor Fulton and recommending that
the several members of the board be re-
quested to Immediately write letters to
the representatives and senators of Texas
to give the bill their cordial support, in
order that the State of Texas and the
University may share in the benefits to
be derived from such bill. The PROVOST
lion is to grant to each State 10000 acres
for each State senator and representative
IN congress. under the census of 1890,
The board adjourned to meet again to-
day.

THE COTTON CROP.

The following interesting circular rela-
tive to the cotton crop was issued yester-
day by Commissioner Rose:
The cotton crop of 1896 has been gath
cred and nearly passed out of the hands
of the producers, who have realized from
two TO three cents more on the pound
than was expected when planted. Why?
This increase in price is due to two
causes. First, the reduction in acreage.
second, the decrease in yield per acre.
With full crop the past season cents
would no doubt have been full aver
age price. Some farmers are grumbling
because they did not plant more cotton
and less corn. A little figuring would
show them that in proportion to the in
crease III the cotton crop the price would
be reduced and more money would have
been required to cultivate and to gather
it, which would leave less profit. If the
coming cotton crop is increased general
ly, as we hear some farmers talk of do
ing, and full average yield is produced
they will find cotton below cents the
current year. The wise course for
farmers to pursue is to plant sufficient
crop of corn and all other kinds of crops
needed for home consumption and
enough for their non-producing neigh
bors, and after that to devote their at
tention to cotton, if they prefer growing
and mutton. My experience and obser-
walton for SO years in Texas has been
that those who produce the necessaries
of life Mt home and have some to spare
are those who never have to give II mort
gage. IT'S true corn is cheap, and why?
Because farmers have not beeves and
hogs to feed it to. / they had, instead of
10 to % cents per bushel they could get
from 80 to 80 cents for their corn.
Farmers should improve their stock.
They should keep the very BEST and
avoid the expense of any that do not
yield profit. TO illustrate: With Tex
as growing 10000 900 bales of cotton and
other States reducing their producing
capacity ut the same ratio cotton would
reach 9 cents or more. Planting the
of their land either in corn,
oats, wheat and other crops and raising
stock to consume all the surplus, then
would the cry cease that farming does
not pay. 1t is safe to say that those
who adopt this course will succeed far
better than those who do not do so, and
it is further safe to say that if farmers
plant rs largely in cotton the present
year ms they did in 1894 and as sparing-
ly as in other crops they will regret it,

The following was issued from this
Office yesterday:
land of Richardson, Jerry Crook of Paris.
ordered by the railroad commission of
Texas that every railroad company

within the State of Texas and receiving
any loaded or empty car or any article
of freight for transportation over its

THAT COMMISSION REPORT.

In conversation yesterday with Com
missioner Rose, relative to the lately is
sued agricultural report, us compiled
under Commissioner Hollingsworth' adj
ministration, it was learned that Com
missioner llollingsworth was not wholly
to blame for the fragrant errors and. dis
crepancies to be found therein. The law
requires tax assessors to furnish data
to the commissioner on which to make
his report, and that is the explanation
rs to why so many fragrant errors crept
into the report. Such n report is GER
tainly not calculated to do any good to
the State, but its grossness was due in
the main to careless tax assessors, who
were too Indifferent TO compile accurate
data. As to the Travis county report,
published in Commissioner HollingS-
worth's report, comparison shows it to
he idcntcally with the report furnished
the commissioner by the tax assessor of
Travis county.

THE SCHOOL FUND.

Touching on the financial condition of
the school fund, State Superintendent
Carlisle has the following to say in Il
circular addressed to county superintcnd-
ents and treaSurerS of the school funds:
The treasurers' annual statement for
1919 shows that much Improvement
has been made in the way of restricting
expenditures of school funds to legiti-
mate purposes. But the reports also
show that considerable sums were ex-
pended during the year for purposes
which this department can not approve
as legal and necessary. The most i'm
portant items among these illegal eX-
penditurCS are those for charts, maps,
globes, mathematical blocks and similar
articles. Disbursements for these arti-
cles, | find, are variously classified by
treasurerS. Some of them are reported
rs disbursements for supplies; others for
furniture, still others for apparatus. The
truth about these articles is they are not
included i'll the meaning of any of the
terms under which they are reported.
Many of them are entirelys worthless to
the schools for which they are bought
Some of them possess Il limited value,
but none of them are, in my Judgment.
entitled 20 be classed as necessary sup
plies, furniture or apparatus; hence there
is no provision of law that authorizes
the purchase of these articles with school
funds The schools can be conducted
successfully without them, and there is
every reason why all unnecessary ex-
pcnditures of funds should be denied
and as nearly as possible all the funds
used to extend the school term. | trust
therefore. that no further expenditures
for these articles will be made. as this
department will feel compelled to object
to all such expenditures hereafter APP
pearing in treasurers' reports
| need not repeat that expenditures
for exchange. interest, attorneys fees,
court costs, surveyors fees. fees for re-
cording Instruments, printing bills and
all such items are unauthorized by law
and will not be approved by this depart
ment in checking mp treaSurers reports.
Treasures are also reminded that it is
their duty To require each voucher to
show for what it is drawn, and when Il
voucher is drawn for an illegal purpose
treasurers are charged by law with no.
tice of the illegality of the expenditure
and will be responsible upon their Off
cial bonds for any funds paid out on such
voucher. notwithstanding the signatures
