army. Agricultural training is one
Of the important phases in theswon-
dcrful program being carried on at
the Army Schools at that point, In
addition to thirty-two other trades
and professions.
Like all OF the other courses at the
Army School, the farming instruction
is of an intensively practical type.
During the winter months, class room
work is carried on in soil study, crop
rotation, farm machinery, its care and
use, stock breeding etc. This Is car
ried on under the direction of pro-
fessional teachers, In steam heated,
ell-lighted class-rooms. With the
advent of suitable weather, and the
enlargement of the schools facilities
for practical outdoor work, much
progress has been made.
The farm school consists of 400
acres on which a diversity of crops
are rotated in twenty-acre units.
Small grains, corn and forage crops
are grown on these plots. AS the
men progress In their work under the
direction of scientific farm experts,
each thing they do Is explained and
the reason for the method observed.
Thus the men are stimulated to think
think for themselves and are enabled
to meet their own problems as they
will later find them In civil life.
The work in general farming Is ac-
companed by truck gardening, the
vegetables raised being utilized in the
camp messes as an agreeable addi-
tion to the ration. A complete course
lu horticulture is being conducted in
connection with the six established
orchards on the farm, besides one
new orchard which will bear for the
first time this season and a quantity
} OF small fruits which have also been
set out this year.
Pruning, spraying, grating, and
t cultivation are taught by men who
e are experts and the students get am
p rlc practice In these lines.
e A mule barn sheep shed, poultry
!. house, hog house, stock judging pa
/. vilion and implement sheds are be

:. placed around the farm. All types oi
d farm machinery are used and the
: students are instructed in the care
e and use of each. Tractors are useC
/. for the work Of plowing, narrowing
and caring for crops Special stress
is laid on proper care of machinery
point on which a great many farm
of ers have been lamentably careless.

TREASURE HUNTS
FASHIONABLE ON
COAST OF TEXAS
(By Associated Press.)

Galveston, Texas, Sept. S-Search-
ers after buried silver on the main
land opposite Pete Island, Is miles
southeast of Corpus Christi, Texas,
probably are doomed to disappoint
nent, in the opinion Of DR.. j. o.
Dyer, local writer on historical and
scientific subjects. The rush of treas
ure seekers began with the discov-
cry recently Of rs skeletons, popular
ly believed by many to be those of
members of the crew Of Spanish
treasure ship which foundered off the
Texas coast early in the eighteenth
century. No record is available Of
any such wreck.
The life of skeleton buried in
the sands of the beaches of the coas-
tai country Dr.. Dyer points out, is
not over 40 years.
He says also treasure ships from
Mexico to Spain were discontinued
after Is 20, partly because Of the ac-
tivities of Jean Laffites fleet of Mc-
cancers.
Even before that time the Span
iards tried to avoid excessive losses
from storms and Laffite's feet Of buc-
caneering vessels and so Spaniards
transported less than 20 tons of sill
yer bullion to the vessel Then, the
current rate in Mexico was approx
mately $40 a troy pound. The most
valuable of all Laffite's prizes, the Sc
villa, carried only $3.50, 900 specie.
Laffite's captured treasure, accord
ing to the records extant, was buried
in three caches. Two of these were
located on Galveston Island and the
third on a small island to the east
which was completely washed away
during a storm in 1929.
There have been many reports Of
the discovery on this coast Of caches
OF coin or chests from trading ships
containing from SO 5000 to $15 900.
