Kentucky Farmers
Test Dairy Sires

FRANKFORT. Ky. Pp-Acting on
the theory that the improvement Of
domestic livestock rests primarily on
selection Of better sires, campaigns
have been held in Gallatin, Owen and
Grant counties for the proving Of
bulls and other male breeding ami
mails. At least seven additional coun-
ties plan to take up the work.
At present. authorities say, there
are but 270 dairy sires in the Unit
ed States that have been proved by
comparing the records of five or
more daughters Of each sire with
the records Of the dams Of the
daughters.
Daughters Of average improved
sires show a gain over their dams
Of 80 per cent in milk production
and 81 per cent in the production of
butterfat. The increase has run as
high as 7.2 per cent in milk produc-
ton and l0.9 per cent in butterfat
for daughters OF proved sires. The
average dairy herd may double its
production in two TO three gener-
atoms by the use Of good, proved
dairy sires.

Coaches
Played Together

SAN BENITO, Oct. 13.-Two men
who played on the same team not
80 very long ago, are scheduled to
battle against each other here Fri
day when Coach Morrison Of San
Benito and Coach Rubarth of
Brownsville bring their respective
high school ~elevens for the second
local league grid game of the sea-
son.
They played together on the East
Texas College team. Later Rubarth
went TO Center College and landed a
berth on DO McMillan's famous
spraying Colonies" eleven.
Brownsville has been defeated,
losing to Harlingen %. to Is, and
the San Benito team In one league
game beat Edinbnrg 80 TO. o. Browns
Vile beat Edinburg by a score Of
30 TO 9, and they are expected to
put up a hard fight against the To-
cal men.
The aerial play Is expected to be
featured since both teams have dem
onstrated strength in this branch Of
the game.
W~eslaco and San Benito are the
two teams Of the Valley who have
not been scored on.

ACCIES MEET
ARKANSAS j.
Tilt Is First Confer
ence Encounter
For A. & M.

COLLEGE STATION, Texas, Oct.
13.-Fresh from their victory in the
game with Sewanee at Dallas last
week. the Texas Aggies have settled
down to hard work in anticipation OF
a real contest from the Arkansas
Razorbacks on Kyle Field next Sat-
urday. This will be the first South
west Conference game for the Aggies
this season.
Although the Aggies exposed prac-
tically none Of their plays and for
nations in the game with the Sc
vance Tigers, some improvements
have been made because of weak
nesses which showed in that contest.
IL is not likely, however, that Coach
Bible will give his squad any new
plays this week.
But it is expected that they will
continue drilling on the formations
they now have until all weaknesses
which can be detected have been
removed.
II is likely that most Of the time
which remains before the Arkansas
game will be spent in scrimmaging
against Arkansas formations as
played by the freshman team and in
perfecting the defense to be used
against the Porkers, for it has al
ready been shown that Arkansas has
some backs who will be hard to stop.
The Porkers are now resting at the
top of the Conference heap as a
result of their victory over Baylor,
and it will be q mighty blow that
moves them.
Conover is temporarily out OF the
game with an injured foot as a re-
suit Of the Sewanee game but no
serious injuries have been discov-
cred and Connie is expected back in
uniform in time for Wednesdays
serimmage.
