and cognomen in the A. & M.-est red
against the white background Mr.
Mlllender is covering the congress for
his paper under the tutelage OF that
dean OF Texas agricultural journalists
the Hon. Sam H. Dixon, of everlasting
and undying endeavor in the inter.
ests of the Texas farmers.
DR.. H. II. Harrington, agricultural
director of the St Louis, Brownsville
& Mexico railway, which comprises
the Frisco system in Southwest Texas
and the Brownsville country, is ming.
ling among the farmers and announces
his mission as primarily in the in.
b
work in the Brownsville district. The
prime need now in South Texas, ac'
,orlng to DR.. Harrington, is for more
missionary talent to bring home to
the farmers the results of the expert
ment station work. DR.. Harrington
says that the Brownsville country is
just now beginning to come into Its
own and is justifying the abiding
faith of Mr.. B. r. Yoakum and Mr..
William Doherty in the great posi-
bilties of that country, to which they
have for so many years given their
best endeavors and in which they have
invested much money and effort.
Mr. NJ. H. James, Jr., of Bryan, a
senior student at A. & NJ. College, is

Is one of the most practical opponents
oil agriculture and arboriculture that
A & NJ. has ever produced, and is a
young man that lets no opportunity
pass by. as is shown by the many
pecan groves that thrive in the upper
and lower Brazos bottoms, monuments
to his study and industry.
Prof. C. A. Hotchkiss of San Leon,
one of the pioneer horticulturists OF
the state, is looking up old friends at
the congress. Prof. Hotchkiss is now
identified with one of the large land
and fruit developments of the gulf
coast country.
Prof j. NJ Johnson has an exhaus
tive display of forms and system
blanks which he is distributing among
the visiting farmers, endeavoring to
get statistical information of at least
one TYPICAL farm of every county in
Texas. Prof Johnson is a man of
much experience in this line of work,
and is a busy man every minute OF
the day and night spreading the Cos
pei of scientific farming and business
like administration of the farm among
the visiting agriculturists.
