Young Men and Women Active
at Agricultural College;
Plans for Beautifying the
Campus College Notes,

Especial Correspondence to Morning Journal
Agricultural College, Mesilla Park.
Dec. 1.-THE Young Mems and
Young Women's Christian associations
are very active this year, and are en-
rolling many new members. This
good work is being carried on by stu
dents who are interested in getting re
most III OF school life and who wish
to take advantage of every opportun-
ity for Improvement. The boys have
been raising money to equip the social
room of their new building, and this
week the advisory committee of the
Y. NJ. c. A, had Il meeting to make
plans and lay a foundation for the
years work.
on Friday night occurs the BIZ
monthly entertainment given at the
dormitory. Dancing and the other
forms of social amusement will be
given.
Miss Mary Louise Rowland has
spent a week at the college visiting
Miss Anderson. Miss Rowland has
been visiting friends in HH!sboro and
is now on her way to her home in
COvington, Ky.
Mrs. Thomas. Of the stenography
department, has been substituting dur
ing the past week in the Las Cruces
public schools, for Miss Sweet, who
has not been able to meet her pupils.
on Saturday the stenographers' as
ISOLATION will entertain the football
team at the home of Mrs. Deemer, on
College row,
The new feed lots are about com
pleted and twenty-five steers will soon
be brought in from the c. Y. Turney
ranch, on which a test will be made.
The main object of this experiment
will be to determine the most eco
nomically produced ration in the val
ley for fattening steers. 1t is in
tended to prove to the farmers that
corn stover and Kaffir corn, which is
generally wasted by the farmers, is a
good substitute for alfalfa.
The steers for the test will be the
average ~two-year-old stock. They
will be divided into lots Of five for
convenience and accuracy in Compu-
tation.
1t If intended TO test the value of
kaffir corr versus corn meal and corn
slower. and oats versus alfalfa. Those
in charge hope to complete the test i'm
about 1870 days, and then the steers
will be sold to either the local or lei
Paso market.
At its recent meeting the board Of
regents made plans for the bcautify-
ing the campus. The new water sys-
tenn will provide water for irrigation
and grass will be grown and trees
planted.
This will add very much to the APP
pearance of the campus and buildings.
The music department in the col
legc has been developing very rapidly
during this year. The college now has
excellent fifteen-picce orchestra. a
twenty-four piece band and lately a
chorus was organized to give an ora
torio. All of this work Is under the
direction of Professor watkins, who is
able musician. and who is building
up a strong department among stu
dents and faculty.
