Arranging for Ross Volunteers Hop.

The annual hop of the Ross Volun-
teers of A. & M. College, which is al
ways a San Jacinto Day celebration
at the college, will be held this year
on the evening of Friday, April 10.
The Ross Volunteers is a military
organization within the cadet corps OF
A. & NJ. College. 1t was organized
during the time the late l.. S. Ross
was president of the college, and was
named for him. In addition to mill
tary proficiency which is strived Tor
by these young men, the organization
Is very much social in its nature, and
its annual hop is an event OF state
wide interest. Former students of the
college who were members OF the or
ganlzation when they were here, re-
turn from year to year to take part III
this big affair, and ladies from all over
the state are guests for the occasion.
BY virtue of his rank as captain OF
the Ross Volunteers, a position to
which he was elected by his fellow
members. c. C.. Kruger of San An
tonic is president Of the hop. He Is
assisted by the following committees:
On Arrangement-H Underwood,
chairman.
| On Invitations and Programs-Quin-
| Ian Adams, chairman.
On Reception-R. B. Barnitz, chair
man.
On Decoration-R. c. lockwood,
chairman.
On Finance. J. Waters, chairman.
On Floor. G. Lott, chairman.
Since the interurban is being oper-
ated between Bryan and the college
| It makes it more convenient for Wis
itors to this hop to get accommoda-
tions, and 1t is believed that 1t Will be
more largely attended this year.
The members of the Ross Volun'
teers always have some military fea-
ture at thir hope, which adds to the
interest of the evenings pleasure.

MAKING LATE MATCHES PAY
Coekerels VIII Grow Rapidly and
Come In Nicely for Winter
"Sprlngers" for Frying.

Midsummer chicks are as a rule
not success. The main reasons are
that the hot weather and insects are
against them. But late matches will
frequently do as we'll as early ones
with equally good care. For late
matches set hens or the incubator any
time in August. to have the chicks
come off in September, when the
weather is cooler and the summer In
sects have begun to diminish.
COckerels from early fall matches
will grow rapidly and will come in
nicely for winter "springers" for
broiling or frying Pullets from these
matches may not grow to be SO large
as spring-hatched pullets, nor will
they lay this coming winter, but they
will begin to lay next spring, and will
continue to lay all next summer at n
time when other hens are OF duty In
the egg business. With a good mum.

uous egg supply for all the seasons
is assured

Melting season is at hand
Pullets Matched In March should be

Filth and vermin are the great

Hens set IN August will produce

If our chicks or older fowls are cot
thrifty, let US look into our methods
and find out where we are to blame,
When the hens begin to climb trees

Hen afflicted with scaly leg cannot
possibly give the best service in egg
