TEXAS FARMERS CON
GRESS CONVENED TODAY.
A Large Crowd Present On Opening Day and
Indications Point to Record Breaking
Attendance Alumni and Others Meet
and Pass Resolutions en- Separation of
A. & M. and the University

A plea for separation OF the A. and
Nj. College and the University of
Texas and an equitable division of the
University lands was the principal fea-
ture of the annual address of Presi-
dent e. w. Knox of the Texas Farm
ers' Congress, which organization be-
gan its sixteenth annual session at the
A. and M. College this morning. Presi.
dent Knox said that the A. and M. had
done wonderful work in preparing
boys for the farm and the engineering
fields and bespoke for 1t the hearty
support of Texas farmers
Continuing, the speaker advocated
the establishment Of four or five jun
ior agricultural colleges to offer two
years work In the fundamentals of
agriculture The A. and M. should
give four years work in the technical
fields while the University should de-
vote itself entirely to the dissemina-
ltion of academic instruction, the
lspeaker said. His remarks about the
A. and NJ. College were enthusiastic
|cally applaudcd.
President Knox reviewed briefly the
forces which are making for the dis
semination OF agricultural instruction.
He spoke in highly commendatory
terms OF the experiment stations, in
dustrial congress, various departments
of the College, demonstration work
and other organizations.
The attendance at the opening ses-
sion this morning was near the 500
mark and President Knox is authority
for the statement that the morning
trains will bring enough farmers to
swell that number to more than 1900
by tomorrow. Judge Ed r. Kone, |
agricultural commissioner, says that |
1900 farmers will attend the farmers
institutes which will convene at the |
adjournment OF the congress, July 81, |
for two days session.
The general sessions OF the congress |
are being held in the new mess hall. /
This afternoon is being devoted to |
the sessions OF the allied organiza-
tions. there being twenty-five such or
ganizations that are members OF the |
Farmers Congress. These sectional |
meetings will be held in the various
college buildings.
The address of welcome was deliv- L
cred by President e. b. Cushing of
Houston OF the board of directors of
the College. Col Cushing expressed
The gratitude of the board at the an
