Fertilizers for Cotton.

DR.. G. S. Traps, state chemist OF
Texas at A. & NJ. college, says:
Fertilizers of cotton are applied at
the rate of 800 to 500 pounds per acre
and are best applied in the furrow
about week before planting, but theT
should not come in direct contact win
THE seed. 1t is possible also to apply
the fertilizer at the time of planting,
|if it is desired to do so. Fertilizers
alone will not maintain the soil fer
tile, but it will help to keep 1t up. In
order to maintain soil fertile and keep
lit fertile the planter will have to in
troduce rotation of crops, in which
he should grow cowpeas, alfalfa, pea
nuts, or some other leguminous crop
and pillow them under or feed them off
This procedure will introduce both
vegetable matter and nitrogen in the
soil. AT the present prices of COM
mercial fertilizers the farmer can not
afford to purchase enough fertilizer to
keep his land fertile

PRESIDENT or BOARD
OF DIRECTORS
Hon. W. A. Trenckmann ,spent Two
Days at A. & M. coyese--is
Himself an AIum5us, of
the CoIIege

W. A. Trenckmanl, president of the
board of directors of A. & NJ. college,
has spent two days at the college
making himself familiar with the work
of the institution.
Mr.. Trenckmann was graduated
from the college in 1879. At the time
he was student here he was room
mate for time of Rev. Edgar Y. Null
Inns, who is now president of the Bap-
fist Theological Seminary at Louis
vile, KY. He was the first graduate
of the college and two years ago de-
livered a mastery address at COM
mencement.
Being recently appointed a member
of the board, Mr.. Trenckmann desires
to learn all he can about the affairs OF
the college. He spent two days here,
attending classes, visiting depart
metns, calling on department heads,
and investigating every feature that
he could be advised about. He takes
strong personal interest in the insti-
tuition, and made this trip in order to
know just what is needed at the col
Ilege. His son was graduated from the
college in 1908.

plan of the management to enlarge
the plant and add additional equip
ment. A request for the extension OF
the International & Great Northern
switch has been made In order to
have more room for cars. The plat
form for the cotton bales will be en-
larged and a set of new boilers will
be put in. The compress has always

SURPRISES IN PERSONNEL
OF HOUSE COMMITTEES
Republican insurgents Secured Large
Share of Good Assignments.
Uncle Joe Will Probably
Be Floor Leader.
[By Associated Press.l

Washington, April 1.-THE house
elected its standing committees today.
The republican selections announced
by Minority Leader Mann contained
many surprises. A desire to accord
the republican insurgents impartial
treatment was shown by placing two
of them, Lenroot and Madison, on the
rules committee, on which the repub-
licans have total of only four mem
bers.
Uncle Joe Cannon becomes the
ranking minority member on the ap'
preparations committee and probably
will be the republican floor leader in
debates on appropriations.

WINNER OF HERO MEDAL
Wants to Study Agricultural Science
and May Enter A. G. M.
College.

Having awarded medal and sum
of money to a Texas youth for an act
of heroism, the Carnegie hero fund
commission is now endeavoring to adj
wise the young man in the matter of
education, and in seeking the proper
Information on which to base that adj
vice the commission is in correspond
ence with Col. R. T. Miner president
of A. & NJ. college.
F. NJ Wilmot, manager of the Car
negie hero fund commission, writes to
President Miner as follows
"W. Benjamin McAnally, now living
near Wolfe City, Texas, on October
81, 1910, was awarded a bronze medal
and the sum of $1,000 for worthy
purpose in recognition of an act he
performed in rescuing Robert L. Nor
Iris from suffocation in a well. Mr..
McAnally is now nineteen years of.
age, has lived most of his life on
farms, has received five years of
schooling in country schools. He de-
sires to use his monetary award to
improve his education, and it seems
to me, in view of the experience he
has had, it would be better for him to
study scientific agriculture than any
thing else
Mr.. Wilmot further asks Colonel
Miner to advise him of the entrance
requirements of A. & NJ. college and
the expenses of matriculation, so that
it can be determined whether the
young man can accomplish the four
years course in agriculture.
In answering Colonel Miner has en-
phasized the fact that tuition at the
college is free, and that student
must pay only his necessary expenses
of Keep. The fixed charges at the col
lege are $16S a year, to which are
added the expenses of uniform, books,
etc, making the total expenses per
year 1929. However, after the first
year, a student is not at the full ex-
penses for uniform because his uni
form win carry over from year to

Not From PoIitsne...

This was heard in an overcrowded
Boston elevated train:
"Say. Dick" said the young man
whose football tactics had won him a
strap in the rush-"say, Dick, I've
been riding in on the T. every morn
ing except Sundays and holidays for
two years, and I've never given up a
seat to lady yet"
You're polite one" sneered Dick.

young man. 1--WE never had a seat to
give up."-Boston Post

year, and 1t is easy to be seen that
the four years course can be managed
ON much less than $1,000. The sum of
$16S, which he pays on entrance, in
cludes board. room, laundry, medical
flee, water. lights and fuel. It is the
cheapest institution Of higher educa-
ton in all the South.

FOUND AFTER THREE WEEKS
a Man Died Alone in a Sink Hole
Near His Home

Three weeks ago last Saturday. after
working at the farm home of John
johnson, in the town Of Harmony, not
far from his own place, MIR. Ole Sannas.
(better known as big Ole) departed,
after dark, for his home, taking short
cut across the field That was the last
seen or heard of Sannas till last Fri
day afternoon, when search was in
s;ituted for him and his remains found
in a sink hole about six feet deep,
where to all appearances the unfortu-
nate man had fallen upon his head in
the pit, and without a struggle, died
there. The night was rainy, biustry
and cold and Sanuas doubtless lost his
way and walked into the death trap.
1t was his custom to work away from
home, hence no alarm was had because
of his absence. When the remains
were discovered authorities were noti-
fled and Justice Pollard, Sheriff Root
ard DR.. Lauder went out, made exami-
nation of the body and surroundings
A jury returned verdict IL accordance
with the facts as ELECTED, that Sannss
came to his death by falling headlong
into the hole.
MIR. Sannas was a large, powerful
man about seventy years or age. He
had family and farm, but worked much
of the time at carpenter and stone ma
son service for neighbors.
