Relief
From UnSanitary Conditions
On Sugar Street
May Prove Permanent For
Complaining Residents

AT least temporary and possibly
permanent relief has been afforded
the residents of East Sugar street,
who have been so justly bitter in
their complaints over sewer condi-
tions there, as City Engineer w. S.
Anderson and Service Director Snow
on Friday completed work on a plan
which they believe will produce the
desired effect.
1t appears that in the past all suf-
face water has been thrown into the
already crowded and small-sized san
itary sewer and, as a result, East SUI
gar street, property owners would
find their cellars flooded after every
rainfall Sewage was thus carried in
to the cellars and decidedly unsan-
itary condition prevailed.
The engineer and service director
in their investigation Of the condition
soon saw the mistake that former
engineer had made in allowing storm
water to drain,in the sanitary sew
er. 1t was not difficult thing to con-
meet drainage laterals with the storm
sewer and thus provide an outlet for
the vast quantities of water which
have caused all the trouble.
City Engineer Anderson is hopeful
that entire relief will be provided by
the change. He states that the new
connections will do much to combat
the difficulties with which East Sugar
street residents have been confront
ed.

FARMERS SHORT COURSE
AND FARMERS CONGRESS
Interesting Discussion Of Coming Event
BY Dean e. J. Kyle.

interesting OiUCuSsIoH " So""s
BY Dean E. ]. Kyle.
Probably the greatest opportunity
the farmers and farm women of Bra
EOS County have ever had to secure
valuable information, and, at the same
time, interesting and refreshing enter
tainment, will be when the Farmers
Short Course begins its seventh an
nual session at College Station, July
oath to goth, inclusive.
This work is planned to meet the
needs OF practical farmers, business
men. and women who desire to farm
on a better basis, to make farming
more profitable, and to make farm life
more comfortable and attractive.
Throughout the week separate
courses will be offered in the follow
ing subjects: Agricultural education,
agricultural engineering, agronomy,
animal husbandry, dairy husbandry,
horticulture, poultry, plant diseases
and insects, and veterinary science.
This year special attention is to be
given to the course in Home Econom'
les. The work will be divided into
division for women and division for
girls.
Some of the best known lecturers In
the Southwest will assist In making
the short course work OF value to the
people Of this State. The college
teaching staff, the experiment station
and extension stats are to be assisted
this year by DR.. II. ]. Weber, the
plant breeder, of California, and Dean
W. M. Jardine, the agronomist, OF
Kansas. In the women's and girls
work, Miss Bernice Carter and Miss
Cornelia Simpson, Of the extension
service, will be assisted by Miss Mary
Z. Gearing, professor OF home econom.
les at the University Of Texas. and
Miss Rhea c. Scott. assistant State
agent In home demonstration work,
OF Virginia.
On the evening of the 26th the
Texas Farmers Congress will begin its
session. The work has been planneI
SO that the short course program and
the farmers congress program will 1T
into each other. so as to prevent any
conflicts.
A special feature OF the short course
and congress this year will be the en-.
tertainment side. High class music.
ales, picture shows, baseball games.
barbecue, receptions. etc. will be the
order OF the day. II Is planned to
make this occasion serve as n farm.
chautauqua OF Texas.
The people OF Brazos County are
much more favorably situated than
the rest OF the people OF the State, on
account Of the fact that these great
meetings are held at their very door.
Many OF the farmers can drive to Col.
lege every day In their wagons or
automobiles; others can drive into
Bryan and catch the interurban there.
while those living too far TO make
daily trips can come to College and
register for the weeks work.
The A. 6 VI. College is anxious to
lend helping hand to Brazos County
farmers, and we ask that you come |
