LITTLE THINGS COUNT.

One Of the hardest problems Of life

little things that count and that by

bigger things win take care OF them.

Texas Is almost purely agricultural
State. Its wealth and prosperity will
depend upon its farm products and
farm stock. II will make progress and
increase its wealth In proportion as Its
farmers are educated along agricultu-
raj lines. Not only crop making. but
animal breeding will 20 forward as the
younger generations are taught the
science Of agriculture and animal hus-
bandry. The great center for the
training OF young men for a better
agriculture is the A. a NJ. College.
This institution should be fostered In
every legitimate way. that Il may
reach out and influence every portion
Of our State to meet the demands OF
the hour. We cannot escape the In
evitable conclusion that agriculture In
Ttxas needs a better understanding Of
soil building and soil culture. II needs
TO know how TO produce the best ami
NAL at the least cost. and how to man.
age the farm so as to make II attrac-
tive to the boys and girls OF the rural
communities. In order TO dc this most
effectively the College should be indie

II will not be denied that the boys

lions are wealth producers; that they
add TO the material welfare Of the

Texas is big enough for several
