PRESIDENT WILSON SENDS MES
SAGE DISAPPROVING THE ,AC-
TION IN ARRESTING DEPU.
TIES.
UNITED STATES WON'T
RECOGNIZE THE ELECTION
American Warships Are Being Kept
In Mexican Waters-FOreign Min.
isters Meet in Mexico City.

Washington, D. c., Oct. Is. - The
Mexican situation today was regarded
by officials here as drifting toward a
crisis with the United States await
ing Provisional President Huerta's
next move
The commanding feature was the
action of the Spanish minister i'll
Mexico City, calling for meeting of
the diplomatic corps to discuss Huer-
ta's assumption of a practical dicta-
torship Administration officials and
diplomatists attached deep signifi-
,cance to that. President Wilson dis
cussed the situation with Secretary
Bryan and several senators, and later
the foreign relations committee of
the senate held a meeting behind
closed DOORS 1t was a regular meet
ing day, however, and the session OF
the senators was not called by de-
velopments.
Chairman Bacon, of the committee,
after a talk with the president, ex-
pressed the view that even had the
United States recognized Huerta, his
assumption of the role of dictator
would, in his opinion, have been suf-
ficient cause for a withdrawal of
recognition. There are no precedents
for Withdrawing recognition once e-;-
tended, but diplomatists point out
that such an effect might be substau-
TALLY accomplished by withdrawing al
ambassador.
Plans for keeping an American
naval force in Mexican waters com
manded almost equal attention, e5-
pecially in view of the strained sit
uation following so closely Huerta's
announcement that his government s
permission for the presence of Ame"-
lean men of war would not be re-
newed this month and the announce
rnent of this governments intention
to accomplish it's end without conflict
ing with the laws of Mexico by chang
ing the details of ships.
1t was made plain that the Wash
ington government was determined
to have naval representation ready
for any eventuality and some observ-
ers thought the next step toward a
elimination of the situation might
be forced over that point.
Publication of President Wilson's
latest note to Huerta attracted wide
attention for it's brevity and force
fulness. The Mexican governments
reply was awaited with keenest inter
est. Meanwhile, all the agencies of
government concerned in the situation

AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION

Extract from speech OF o. M. Sell
lers, in charge Of correspondence
courses in the A. and M. College Of
Texas, delivered at lecture room at
the State Fair Of Texas, Dallas, Tex
as.)
Have you ever stopped to think what
changing world this is in which we
are living-I mean agriculturally?
Well, II you haven't its time you did
stop and look around and get your
bearings.
Only about twenty years ago very
little was known about plants and ami.
mails by anyone in the South. Even
the college-trained men knew little Of
the methods of the growth and life
history OF even the most common
plants and animals, was much struck
with a remark made to me short
time ago by the director of Southern
experiment station. why he said,
when was a college boy we did not
know what the little tubercles upon
the roots of cowpeas and other leg
umes were. We were taught that they
possibly served the plant as reservoirs
for water. Today, the rural farmer,
away off the railroad. away from
towns and colleges, know about legum-
inous plants. benefits Of. methods of
growing, and what tubercles are.
Possibly you can remember when
cotton seed was considered as SO much
waste matter and when they were
dumped into the waste heap or burned.
II is not so long ago when this was an
everyday occurrence. but today the
most ignorant cotton farmer knows
better
The thinking men in the world have
realized that the people on the farm
have been continually moving into the
cities and towns and that the cost OF
Bryan daily eagle and pilot. [volume] (Bryan, Tex.) 1909-1918, 1913-11-06

living has been continually growing
higher all the time. In my opinion one
OF the reasons why this is so is the
kind Of education the farmer has been
able to secure in the past, and this
opinion is borne out, I think, by the
fact that the kind Of education made
possible for the farmer is changing
every day. 1t was once possible for
the farmers boy or girl when theJ
went to college, to study only Greek.
Latin, law, medicine, and other stud
les along the same line, and when the
boy or girl completed their education
in the school the only place where
they could possibly make living in
their profession was the city. and to
the city they went, and later the en-
tire family followed them. But this
kind OF an education is changing, and
today the farmer boy or girl is being
taught in our colleges what to do
when he returns to his country home.
Have you ever thought and realized
that today the forces in the field which
are teaching the doctrine Of agricul-
ture are almost uncountable. Well,
just listen: Today the farmer in the
South has the opportunity of securing
the publications from the experiment
Stations, from the Department of Ag-
riculture at Washington, and from the
different State departments and other
agricultural institutions free for the
asking. In practically all cases he
has in his county county demonstra-
ton agent from whom he may secure
information free on almost every
phase Of agriculture. He can have this
agent show him the best and most up
to-date methods of growing large
crops, how to conserve moisture and
how to improve his farm. Not only this
but this agent is glad to furnish the
farmer free with literature, and help

him make his farm success. In ad-
dition the farmers boys and girls can
be members OF the corn clubs, canning
clubs, tomato, cotton, pig. baby beef,
and numerous other agricultural clubs.
1t is not uncommon now to see in al
most every paper we pick up where
some boy made a yield Of over one
hundred bushels Of corn per acre. or
where some girl canned SO many cans
Of tomatoes from Ito Of an acre.
All this is education, and 1t is only
natural and right that the children
should know more about farming by
the time they reach manhood or wo-
manhood than did their parents.
II was formerly only the sons Of the
rich or at least well-to-do parents who
were able to attend college and learn
something Of the principles Of plant
growth and plant and animal life, but
today even the poorest boy or girl on
the farm can secure the advantage Of
college training-and even secure this
without having to leave home. This
is brought about by the fact that the
agricultural colleges have come to a
realization of tia value of this kind
of education, and have installed
courses in agriculture watch are
taught by mail. Our A. and M. College
Of Texas is possibly leading the South
in this line Of work.

THE SOCIAL SIDE OF SCHOOL
BY Mrs. E. P. TURNER,
Chairman Homes and Schools, Texas
Farm Life Commission.

III lilc SOultulocious
Social companionship moulds the fu-
ture destiny of our boys and girls. SO
far as character and intelligence are
concerned. Manhood and womanhood
are the outcome of human socialibility.
The policy of the average school dur
ing the past has been an open feud
with the social hunger of its students.
but social life has ever been the
strongest motive power in shaping the
progress of civilization.
A social department should be estab-
lished in every rural school in Texas
and should be equipped thoroughly as
the social center of the community. 1t
should be n AeadQuarters for Al ~
cial, civic and athletic movement5 II
should be the headquarters for all the
community art clubs, music guilds, lit
erary societies, dramatic clubs and So
cial organizations. There should be
reception rooms, music halls, audito-
RUINS, and any other feature in cur
rent social use should be provided.
There should also be a gymnasium
with swimming pool and complete
equipment for recreational sports.

SOMETHING ABOUT RABBITS.
Its Flesh Contains More Nutriment
Than Any Other Meat.

In reading over the poultry papers
of today; you, no doubt, have noticed
no small amount of space devoted to
rabbits; their case, etc. Why is this,
another boom? not much, the fact is
that the American people are begin
ing to realize the true value OF this
little animal, especially so since, beef
is becoming more scarce and higher
priced every year
| feel safe in saying that in the next
few years, the rabbit will prove to be
a strong. ally, to the meat end OF the
poultry industry, there is no breed OF
chickens that can be brought to the
weight of four or five pounds in three
months. nor is there any, that can be
raised so cheaply, and with SO little
trouble, for ] have found that they do
not require near the care that chick
ems do, but right here let me say,
that they are not so easily kept, as
some of the breeders would have you
believe They say that all you have to
do is to- feed them little grass or hay

once a week, an Gtake in the money
something like the poultry concerns
that advertise, how any one one can
make $1,000 a wear off of your back
lot, during your spare time, etc. Now
all honest breeders will tell you quite
a different story-it takes, time, and
study and proper attention, as does
any business to be successful.
The rabbit is sclean, dainty little
animal, living upon clean food only,
consequently producing meat unrival-
ed in purity, flavor and high protein,

the exception of Los Angeles and
vicinity is far behind the east, in the
use of rabbit meat, but ere long you
will find hutch or two OF rabbits IN
nearly every family's back yard.

BREEDING FOR EFFICIENCY.
Animals Bred for Results Prove the
Most Profitable.

Breeders for the last few years have
gone VIA On the question OF Ureeu-
ing for type. Now, type IS not an end
III itself; II 81 SIMPLY meansi to an END,
anu type does not Always suOserve
the true end OF breeding. In breed
ing beef cattle, the true purpose
should be not SO much to breed am
mails that are true 10 certain type
as to breed animals that from given
amount OF teed Will produce the
greatest amount OF beef. vi course,
as general thing, 1t will be found
that ANIMALS OF a certain type accom-
plish this end. But it is not always
true. and is not true often enough to
permit breeding for type to be made
the supreme OBJECT OF breeding. 1t is
best never to supplant the chief end to
be gained by the chief means to be
employed in gaining that end.
This is also true in breeding dairy
cattle. The Meridale herd of Jerseys
at Meridale farms in New York State
has proved that this is the only logi-
cal method that should be used in
breeding dairy cattle. At Meridale
farms type as chief end always
sought in breeding has been efficiency
in production. The result is that
the Meridale herd is notable for its
long line of heavy producers at all
ages. Some of the records are re-
markable. One l2-year-old COW pro-
duced in one year IL, 433 pounds of
milk. which made 800 pounds of but
r. Another ll-yearold produced 73o
pounds and eleven ounces of butter
in one year. These cows that made
these records were worked at their
normal capacity. and not one of them
was fed or cared for in preparation
for the test. and not one OF them by
the test was incapacitated for equal
or greater usefulness in the future,
Startling as these figures OF indi-
vidual production are, the figures for
the general average production for
the whole herd are still more start
ling During period extending over
a series of years, the average produc-
ton of the entire herd has been in
creased more than 100 pounds per
year. These figures seem almost in
credible. but the proof is easily Access
sible. This herd made this record
with only the ordinary care and at
tention given to it that any ordinary
farmer may easily give to his own
herd None of them were fitted or
worked for test. This was their
This should be lesson to all breed
ers that breeding for proficiency in
production will do more for the dairy
industry than breeding for type
