APPOINTED STATE
ENT0M0L0G|sT
Instructor scholl, Of A. G. M. College,
Accepts Position in State De-
partrent Of Agriculture.

e. E. Scholl, instructor in entomol-
ogy and inyertehrate zoology at A. &
NJ. college, has resigned his position
and will become the entomologist Of
the state department of agriculture, of
which Judge Ed R. Kone is the CON-
missioner.
The state entomologist OF Texas is
professor of entomology at A. & NJ.
college. That position is now held by
William Newell and it is in his depart
ment that Mr. Scholl has been en-
ployed.
Mr.. Scholl has the degree of bach
elor of science. He graduated at A. &
NJ college in 1907 After that he was
deputy inspector in the department
of the state entomologist and was
state apiarist until 1908. In 1908 he
became an instructor in entomology
at the college. When he was a student
his fondness for the work in entomoi-
ogy earned for him from the students
of the college the sobriquet OF Bug
Scholl, and as Bug" Scholl he Is
known to his friends of student years
to this day. He is a capable man in
chronological work and he will be of
great help to Judge Kone's department
in the work in entomology.
Vacancies in positions in entomol-
ogy are hard to fill. As fast the agri-
cultural colleges and other institutions
turn out men fitted for work in en-
tomology, among bees, insects and in
fighting scale diseases of plants the
United States government grabs them
for the department of agriculture.
They are valuable at this time. espe-
cially in state which is engaged in
fruit growing.

GOVERNOR c0LQU|T's
PEN|TENT|ARY MESSAGE
Discusses Prison Finances, Convict
Farms Favored-selIing State
Railroad Recommended.
[By Associated Press.l

Austin, Texas, Feb 16.-Governor
Colquitt's anxiously awaited message
on the state penitentiaries was sent
10 both houses Of the legislature this
afternoon and was listened to by both
senators and representatives with deep
interest.
The message gave the total value of
the states penitentlary properties as
81. .25S, ,225, exclusive OF the state rail-
road. which is valued at $509,061.
The states finances are low and II
will require s25S,6SS in the next six
months to meet the running expenses
Of the penitentiary system, and II will
cost almost 100000 a year to operate
the system under the new law, unless
that law is changed
The repeal of the provisions for fire
proof buildings and iron cells for con-
victs Is recommended.
Ten cents day for pensions for
conyicts will cost 100000 yearly, and
their abolition Is favored
Convicts should not be permitted to
testify before grand juries unless citi-
zenship Is restored, which should only
be done whore their testimony is of
great Importance.
The sale or lease OF the state rail-
road is recommended because as now
operated it causes a loss of $1,000
monthly.
