In other words, Capt. Collins would
have the state take some of it's own
medicine. as administered to the boys
who attend the A. & M. College, where
they are taught that certain constitu-
ent elements in fertilizers are suited
to one soil, while another will require
an entirely different treatment.
He believes that on the more than
10000 acres owned by the State where
there is ample labor, this sort of ex-
detrimental work could and should be
done, and that the indiscriminate buy
ing of fertilizers without reference to
thier adaptability should be discon-
tinued.

cDeapens it's columns and does itself
serious harm.
Legitimate critism is clearly within
the province of the public press, ana
the newspaper which has opinions and
expresses them freely will make
friends even among those who do not
always agree with its policies. But
the trouble lies in the fact that a
great many newspapers do not seem to
know the limits of conservative and
legitimate criticism. They critise men
rather then measures. They become
personal and abusive; and they ex
ercise license rather than a priv.
fege.
