Threshing operations have been
completed on the College farm, and
the grain, which Is used principally
for seed, has been stored An excep-
tjoual yield of oats is recorded, both
tbe Swedish Select and the Black
oats going over 100 bushels to the
acre. while winter barley is reported
to have exceeded 60 bushels. The
barley Is being sold for seed at ex-
aetly the present market price for
high grade barley, Field peas grown
IN both a north and a south slope
made record-breaking yield, going
between 40 and so bushels to the
acre, this being the best yield so far
automatically recorded in the state.
A seminar course of one hour in
AGRICULTURAL literature for Juniors
and Seniors is being given by DR..
White this semester. 1t is the aim of
this course to study the best present
day works and periodicals having
connection with agricultural work
The enrolment is not yet complete.
The classes in Ag. OF, preparatory
agriculture, are larger this year than
ever before and there seems to be a
greater interest taken in this line of
ducation than has heretofore been
the case. According to the catalogue
Ag OF is contrasted with the College
courses in agriculture in that it aims
to give practical lessons in the art of
farming rather than the scientific
principles that are found in the long
er college work.
The department of soils has just
Installed In it's laboratory in the base
ment of College Hall an electric oven
for drying soils and plants which cost
sl75. This, along with the fine
equipment of modern instruments
for recording weather conditions,
makes the laboratory an interesting
place to visit, both for the novice and
for the man who has general
knowledge of how soils are treated
and weather reports and forecasts
made The soils department has al

CIVIC LEAGUE ORDERS
0ILING OF STREETS
Committee Appointed TO Select
Street to be Ciled in Place of
Those in Paved District.

A special meeting Of the Civic
League was held yesterday afternoon
at the Chamber of Commerce for the
purpose Of considering the matter Of
Oiling the streets.
Mrs. William E. Hawkins, the
vice president, presided in the alb
sence Of Miss Anna Kelly, the presi-
dent. 1t was decided that the mat
ter of selecting the streets to be
oiled could be done better through a
committee and in accordance with
this idea the following committee
was appointed: Mrs. Frank Pierce,
chairman: Mrs. Augustin Celaya,
Mrs. A. V. kennedy, Mrs. H. X. Loew
and Mrs. j. l.. Workman.
The committee Is to meet with
City Engineer Davis at once to select
the streets other than those paved.
1t will report at a regular meeting
Of the league TO be held Friday after
noon at five O'Clock at the Chamber
Of Commerce. The membership of
the league will pass on the streets
selected by the committee.
The league has telegraphed Philip
Bell. Galveston. the man who will
do the oiling, and II is expected that
he viii be here within a week, ready
to begin work.
Mayor A. B. Cole has assured the
ladies that the city will cooperate
with them. and such streets as have
been oiled will be closed 10 traffic
for a short time until the oil has
soaked well into the ground. 1t has
been found that when vehicles are
allowed to follow in the wake Of the
oiler. they carry a great deal Of the
oil away on their wheels.

DRAINAGE A SUCCESS
ON VALLEY FARMS
Chief U. S. Drainage Engineer Nc
Crory Most Favorably Impressed
With Drainage Results Here.

S. Fl. McCrory, chief Of the drain
age investigation bureau OF the T..
S. department Of agriculture at
Washington, d. G., who was in
Brownsville Tuesday and Wednes-
day, left yesterday for the north on
the afternoon train.
Mr.. McCrory while here, inspected
with w. Y. Hall the resident drain
age engineer Of the department, the
various drainage work in progress in
this vicinity. The machines and
bitches of Cameron County Drain
age District No. / were inspec. ed,
and the survey of District No. ?
gone over.
The local farm drainage work on
the Indiana tract, Chicago Gardens,
6xnnett farms at Olmito, the Mason
farm at Nopolita, and various works
projected at West Brownsville by
the Messrs. Morton and others were
also inspected.
After having seen the entire lay
out Mr.. McCrory expressed the opin-
ion that none of the land in this sec
ton need ever become alkalied if
proper drainage precautions were
taken, and that any of the land that
had become alkalied through neglect
of adequate drainge could pparent-
ly be easily reclaimed. With proper
drainage, he though the future OF
the country assured.

ADULTERATED NIXTAMAL
CAUSED MANY DEATHS
Mexico Arrests Makers of Tortilla
Dough Charged With Using Corn
Cobs and Caustic Soda in Mixture.

The superior board Of health Of
Mexico has caught and arrested a
number Of people employed in MAX
ing niXtamal, a corn meal mixture.
or dough, for making tortillas, in the
act of adulterating the mixture with
corn cobs, ground down and softened
with caustic soda. This is a pois-
onous mixture, and the board has
found that many have died from
stomach complaints caused by eating
tortillas made from nix-amal which
had been adulterated with the corn
cobs and caustic soda.
The proprietors Of some of the
mills have been arrested for at
tempting 10 suborn the police, which
seems to indicate that the business
must have been quite profitable
when the corn cobs were used.
Nixtamal is all there is in the tor
tillas, and is in fact as important an
item of food in that country as flour
for bread making is in this. In fact,
in Mexico, the tortilla may be called
the staff Of life. The dough Is peddled
on the streets of all Mexican COM
munities.

GOING TO LOCATE
ON MEXICO PLANTATION
J. K. McDavitt Leaves for Victoria,
Where He Will Devote Attention
to Agricultural Pursuits.

j. K. McDavitt leaves for Victoria,
Mexico, this morning, where he will
locate permanently on the fibre plan
tatiOn of McDavitt Bros, of this
city. Mr.. McDavitt has had shipped
TO Victoria some modern farming i'm
plements and will coach the natives
there, who have been using crooked
sticks for plows, in their use. He
expects to plant fifty acres in onions.
Mr.. McDavitt's chief attention
will be given, however, to the fibre
business. This fibre is extracted
from what is known as the pulque
plant, and its strength is equal 10
or greater than the fibre used in
making seagrass rope. 1t is used in
making dresses, hats, rope, mating
and many other articles Of similar
nature.
Alcohol is also obtained from the
plant, and is worth about a dollar a
gallon.
X. II. McDayitt is now at Victoria,
and will probably return within a
few days.

DEAD

Breathes there a man with soul
so dead
Who never to himself hath said:
My trade of late is getting bad;
I'll try another eight-inch ad."
If such there be, 90 mark him
we'll;
For him no bank account will
swell,
No angels watch the golden stair,
To welcome home the millionaire.
The man who never asks for
trade
BY local line or ad displayed.
Cares more for rest than worldly
gain,
And patronage but gives him
pain.
Tread lightly friends; let no
rude sound
Disturb his solitude profound;
Here let him live in calm repose
Unsought except by men he owes,
And when he dies go plant him
deep,
That naught may break his
dreamless sleep
Where no rude clamor may dispel
The quiet that he loved so we'll
And when the world may know
its loss,
Place on his grave a wreath of
moss,
And on a stone above. Here lies
A chump who wouldn't adver-
tise." - Anonymous.
