All American Fresh Fruit Denied Entry
at German Ports.

All American Fresh Fruit Denied Entry
at German Ports.
BERLIN, Feb. 3.-The Prussian min
lister of finance, DR.. Miguel, has issued
decree which goes into effect imme-
diately, prohibiting the importation of
every kind of American fresh fruit.
The decree has been sent to all the
German ports and frontier stations,
excepting Bavaria, Saxony and Wur-
temburg. The United States embassy
was not previously warned, and the
United States am bassador, Mr.. Andrew
D. White, sent formal Letter to the
foreign Office, inquiring upon what
authority this initial step was taken.
The United States consul at Ham,
burg, d., Hugh Pitcairn, telegraphs
that I6, 900 barrels of American apples
have been forbidden to be unloaded,
and tina. two trains full of Amolict,
fruit have also been forbidden to cross
the frontier at Emmeriche which,
aside from Hamburg, is the principal
place of entry.
On receipt Of this news, Mr.. White
sehe second and stronger remon.
STRANGE to the foreign office, calling at.
tention to the evident violation Of the
treaty.
At the foreign office, it was learned
that the Prussian government prohib bits
the entry of American fruit OF, sani-
tary grounds, claiming that California
and other vermin threaten Gertaan
trees and fruits. O.

A BRAZOS COUNTY
FAIR ASSOCIATION

Fair associations are usually
founded by subscriptions for stock
shares in such enterprises, and in
those communities in which more
than thousand dollars can be
secured at pay up shares, the sue
cess Of country fair is usually
assured. But II is necessary TO
call out all Of the public.spirited
enterprising farmers and profess
ional men in order to secure the
necessary cooperation. In most
cases ii is better TO make a begin
ming by holding at least one modest
"stock show and farm exhibit, F"
which will afford opportunity To
gather together interesting and
instructive county products, in.
Guiding horticultural, agricultural,
livestock and minerals, and such
collections Of wood, etc, as may be
available. Ribbon premiums may
be given, and these, while costing
little, txcite enterest and COMPETE
ton.
liza successful stock show and
exhibit Of this kind can be made
during the summer season, there
is little doubt that good county
fair can then be organized, and
this will enlist wider interest be-
cause cash premiums can be offer
ed, not only for agricultural and
horticultural products, but also
for needle work cookery, and
other forms Of domestic art.
There can be nothing organized
liz this section that will do the
farming classes more good than a
well-managed county fair. The
low price Of cotton demands AL
immediate change in our present
system Of farming. The people
mus; make the change for them
selves. They can not dot do 1t al
once, because, as "a whole, they
see no way TO do IT, They mus
cooperate and help each othel
b,fore il can be done. There Il
now little unity Of action or sen
timent among the country peopl,
upon any one topic. A county
fair will help TO bring these stray
ling human strings together, an,
we may finally expect a well
formed sentiment that will b
strong enough to uplift the agri
culture of Brazos county. In al
of the good work, am sure tina

tiOn with the Texas fafliisfs
Congress, which met at the Col
lege in July last. A special day
was promised aud some college ex-
hibits we're offered for use on that
occasion. but the idea was not dis
cussed sufficiently 10 cause AMI
wide spread interest. The Far
mers Congress will meet at the
College again next July and | avn
quite certain that the Executive
Committee Of that body will be
pleased to indicate a day for hold
ing Rrazos County Stock Show
and Agricultural Exhibit in con-
junction with the regular program.
Am satisfied that should the peo-
pie of the county attend such an
occasion they would remain and
enjoy the benefits Of the very pfac.
teal discussions that constitute the
program Of the swine breeders,
horticulturists. cotton growers and
other organizations that will be
here represented by the best tai
ent in Texas. A large number of
people rom this and near by por.
tons Of adjoining counties have
stated their intention to camp on
the college grounds during the
next session Of the Congress, aud
these people will be largely inter.
ested in and benefited by a special
exhibit gathered from this section.
WHAT cAS WE Do?
Portions Of this county are al.
mirably adapted to fruit and yege-
table culture, including peaches,
berries, grapes, cauliilower, cab
bage, melons, etc, and a hand
some display Of such products can
be made, and such work will prove
the value Of our soil and climate
to visitors from a distance. In
other portions OF BRACES county,
cane, sorghum, alfalfa, corn, clover,
peas, stock beets, turnips, tobacco
and cotton grow TO perfection.
No other portion Of our rich state
can rival Us in these soil products,
but we do not use all of them 10
the best advantage. In some por-
tions Of the county there are excel.
lent hogs, horses, and cattle, and
something can be done at once to
encourage the use Of better sires
for the stockmen Of the county.
A county fair will help to a large
extent in this direction.
Nav we not in short while
ask the help Of Madison, Grimes
and BurlesOn counties in making
our fair association the greatest
possible success? What better
plan can be formed by which "a
shape the ultimate workings ofthis
important organization? Are mol
the interests Of those counties iden
ticle with those Of Bryan anC
Brazos county? We need mol
wait upon them however. w,
need to make beginning now
and In order 10 do this ever,
wide-awake, progressive man in
the county who favors this form
OF industrial education shout,
write TO one Of the county paper
and make his wishes and idea
known. As suggested, we shout,
carefully avoid racing circuits 90,
anything that will tend 10 caus,
the people TO lose sight Of the in
J -lructiye and beneficial features o
such organizations. And just her
II may be well to bear in mind th
. fact that if the moral element
wishes to frown down some Of tn
bad practices found in some Of tn
j county fairs in Texas, now is tn
time to do so IN a practical way

: best moral and intellectual inter
\ ests Of our people.
