To The Eagle.
This Is a clipping from the Eagle.
(Tou Insist on the fanners sticking to
the Bryan merchants. Why don't you
also Insist on the merchants stlcklnr
to the farmer by buying from htm
what ha hat to sell? I know three
two-horse wagon loada of potatoes
that went from here to Bryan last fall
that had to bo brought bark. The
merchants wouldn't buy them "be
cause there were two or three esrt
standing on the track tbey bed to us
up."
It's a poor rule that won't work
both ways. '
8T OSCKIUEll.
Tha Eagle hss never advocated sny
thing but reciprocity and co-operation.
We have preached the doctrine of
mutual helpfulness, of standing bv
each other, year In and year out, aud
are still preaching It. We advocated
a creamery to furnish a market for
the farmers' cr.am, thi's oinlng to
him another avenue for ready cash,
until the creamery was secured. And
Just here we will state the creamery
is not running its full capscity,
neither can It supply the wants of the
people for cresmery products. bersue
the farmers are not furnish'rg u Hit
ficlent amount ot cream. This condl
tlon, however, will no doubt be rem
edied in due time.
The Eagle also advocated al' during
last tall and winter that the fsrmera
and merchants get together on the
matter ot vegetables and have the
farmers supply the merchants . dsily
with fresh vegetables and save the
lares sum of money going out to
,other places for these products. We
save also adroorated for years the
establishment ot a cannery In Bryan,
which would give the farmers a mar
ket tor large quantities of vegeta
bles, one of the surest snd easiest
crops that can be grown.
Wa fear "Subscriber" hss not resd
the Eagle closely or be would never
charge us with neglecting to advo
cate a square deal for the farmers as
well as for the merchsnt.
As to the charge In regard to the
potatoes, we do not know the par
ticulurs, but are satisfied there wan
some reason why the potatoes could
not be suld the day on which they
were brought to market. We do know
however, that potatoes were srane
here last (oil snd wnter snd the mer
chants had trouble In keeping a stock
on hand. They were procured from
fanners whenever possible, one or
two cars were shipped In here, and In
order to supply their customer a
number of merchants had them ship
ped in locally from wherever they
could get them.
It may be that on the day the po
tatoes came from MlllU-sn, the Dry an
merchants were storked up snd ss
sweet potato? ere very perishable,
merchant could not In reason be ex
pected to buy when he already hud
a stock on hand.
Tha Eagle states emphatically In
conclusion that It hss always advoi at
ed reciprocity and hss used every ar
gument at Its command In an effort
to provide a marset for the products
of the fsrm. We are also convinced
tha Bryan merchants buy every thing
offered for sale that they csn possibly
use, and that the home producer is al
ways given tba preference.
Convict No. Hi. which Is none other
than Leo Frank, says be will be vin
dicated, "Hone springs eternsl In the

The Farmers' Union executive com
mittee has selected Houston as the
place for the State convention, wblh
will be held beginning August 3.
Our Hob hat published bis list of
speaking appointments. The people
of the designated localities being fore
warned can now protect themselves
Houston Post
The above paragraph Is Intended for
a Joke, but It la not. it la a gospel
fact Tb old Idea and custom of big
political speakings la fast falling Into
disuse. Tha people dont car for
them anymore and in Just a few years
such a thing as a long winded politi
cal barrangue will be unknown. The
people want to read the candidate's
platform, but that's all. They don't
care to be punished with a four-hour
explanation.
As an echo to the Eagle's vigorous
protsta against the multitude of need
leesfficlals and still mora needless
commissions sll fattening on the
substance of the people comes the
announcement from Austin that the
tax rate thla year will be the highest
known In many years. It tskes money
and lota of It to pay the salaries of
these sleek office holders, and the
railroad fare, hotel bills and per diem
of the commissions that never amount
to a row ot pins.
It is a weak argument for a farmer
to claim there Is no market for the
things he raises on his farm. In his
orchard and garden and there la no
use In his raising them. Selling Is
not the main Idea at a!!. The argu
ment Is that he should raise them
for his own household so he will not
have to buy them from the stores.
Is It not the part of wisdom to raise
them rather than have to get the
money In aome other other way and
buy them? Live at home" and sell only
tba surplus.
Tba news dispatches tell us that
In one house near Goliad, occupied.
by two families, two sets of twins
were bron In less than sixty days. A
phonograph there to "liven thlnga up,"
would be wholly and utterly superflu
ous. Bryan street will look a thousand
times better when the railroad gets
through fixing It up. In fact It will be
practically paved.
The mob spirit In Georgia failed to
get Leo Frank and they want to take
It out on Gov. Slaton.
The cash system would be snother
great aid to prosperity.
Bring on the cream, brother farmer.
The Bryan creamery will take It and
pay you the spot cash tor It.
Roasting ears are plentiful ani
that's something to be thsnkul for.
ft. & M. STUDENTS
Clsss in Civil Engineering New Put
ting Into Practice What They
Learned in Thsory.
Froperty owners between this place
and the Uraios river have been seeing
visions of incressed Isnd values this
week ss the result of the'operatlons
of a party of civil engineers making
the preliminary surveys for a railroad
to the river. The englneer'ng party
Is composed of the seventeen cadets
who will graduate from the school of
civil engineering In June, 1916, at the
A. A M. College.
Junior civil engineers sre required
to remain at the College for a six
weeks' practical course Involving In
struction on sll phases of eng'neering
for railroad construction. The pre
lmlnary survey already have teen
made and this week the engineers
will beiiln the location work for tlielr
ethereal rnllroad. The problem Is to
'elect the best and the shortest route
for the construction of this road, to
submit estimates of costs, prepare
epeclflrstlons and to put everything In
resdtne!s for the actual construction
of the road. Soundings for brigdes
over the Brazos and other streams
also will be made.
This year's Junior class Is compoxed
of seventeen civil engineers, all of
these remaining over the six-weeks'
practical work. The work is being
done under the direction of A. C. Love
snd D. C. Miller, of the department
of civil engineering, of which P. W,
Spenre Is profesvor and besd.
The work at A. A M. Is divided
tt to theory and practice. Students
are given the theoretical Instruction
and then told to put the things they
have learned Into execution.

Observation on Present Crop By Farm
Demonstration
Agent.
The rain of Tuesday morning, June
15th, will perbapa be of mora real
benefit to the people of tha county
than any one rain that has ever fallen
here. This Is so far several reasons,
the nisln one of which Is the people
are neelng a feed crop, especially
corn, worse than they have ever need
ed It. There had been greater effort
made to produce such a crop, the
com acreage bad been materially In
creased and a great deal ot It bad Just
about reached Its limit. One more
week would have put most of It where
rain could not have done it any good.
This haa truly been a test of the
demonstration work so far as corn Is
concerned. Not a piece of corn In
the county with wide rows and flat,
thorough cultivation that was not
standing the severe weather and
would have made some corn without
rain, although It had not rained since
the third or Msy and the corn wa
late.
Since the rain 1 have vls'ted the
whole north end of the county, ex. ept
ng immediately around old Macy, and
there are many One crops of corn snd
a great deirt of very sorry com that
will mske a very poor yield In spite
of the good season. Of course all
corn will require another rain to make
a full yield, and where it can be
plowed I am aure It will stand better
with a shallow cultivation. Hut a
great deal of the corn, especially In
the Zaik and Edge communities, can
not be plowed because It Is blown
down. If It remains dry this blown
down corn wll be greatly Injured.
I never saw more destruction to farm
lands from one rain than there was In
the above named territory. It was a
verltsble cloudburst and some said
It rained clear ten inches and I am
sure In the heaviest places It could
not have been leas than eight inches.
The cotton crop everywhere, while
a little late. Is one of the prettiest
I have ever seen. It Is practically all
clean, well worked and growing nice
ly. Out as I stated last week from
Kurt en. I never saw so many boll
weevils In any crop at this stage of
Its growth. However, we generally
have many weevils in the beginning
of the season, but they generally dis
appear with the coming of hot dry
weathec This crop being at least ten j
days lute It will require later cultiva
tion. The only hope 1 have for the
crop Is rapid cultivation. s Fsnten
some sort of an nterference to youl
plow or cultivator In the way of a
short brush or stick so as to knock J
every Injured square to the ground j
and evry one of these squares thst
has to lie In the hot sun, will have
the weevil germ killed In them.
Some few are picking up he
squares, which Is a sure wsy of de
struction to the weevil, but a little
tedious.' Most of this young, cotton
is growing too rapidly anyway and
a little akraee from these cultivations
will be an advantage to the maturing
crop. -

NO REWARD FOR PAS
SENGER PIGEONS.
Office Of Information, United Statea
Department of Agriculture.
Washington. D. C, June 22.i-Re-fent
widespread newspaper accounts
to the effect that the United States De
partment of Agriculture Is offering

containing two eggs, resulted in hun
dreds of letters being sent to the de
partment. The report la not based
upon facta aa the department baa ot
tered no such reward, and there Is
every i reason to believe tha passen
ger pigeon which formerly roamed
the country In flocks of millions Is
extinct. In 1910 about $1.00.) In re
wards were offered by Clark Univer
sity for tha first undisturbed nests
of the passenger pigeon to be found
In the United States, This waa a
great stimulus to action. The hunt for
this pigeon waa fruitless. The offer
ot rewards was renewed for several
years until It was fully established
that the pigeon waa extinct
. The passenger pigeon up to 1S8J
ranged the American continent east
of the Rocky Mountains. The mourn
ing dove baa often been mistaken for
the passenger pigeon, which in a gen
eral way it resembles. However, this
bird Is quite distinct from the passen
ger pigeon; it Is shorter and hss dif
ferent color markings.
Tbe press reorts stated that the
now extinct passenger plgon was vsK
ued because cf its usefulness In de
stroying the gipsy moth and other
moths and pests which are doing mil
lions of dollars of damage. Although
the preservation of this pigeon l
much to be desired. It would be of ab
solutely no value In eliminating the
gipsy moth as the pigeons are slniot
entirely vegetarian In their diet.

Pertinent Reasons Why Resolution 34 Should be Adopted at the
, . , Election on July 24th.
SENATOR FAULK ON THE
GREAT DIVORCE CASE.
Hon. R. T. Mllner,
Bryan, Texas,
My bear Sir: I have yours of yes
terday with a copy of proposed
amendment .40 tha Constitution, tbe
purpose of which la to bring about a
complete separation and Independ
ent management ot tha State Univer
sity at Auatln and tbe A. A M. Col
lege at Bryan. 1 want to state to you
that thla amendment shall have my
most hearty and enihuelaatlc support
Either one of these great Institutions
is big enough to have separate and
distinct beads.
To be controlled by the same men
will create friction and I like to haVe
said end In failure, but w'Al lay that
thus managed satisfactory results
will never be attained. It la my can
did opinion that the same body of
men cannot take charge of and run
both of these great schools success
fully, on account of tbe peculiar fit
neaa and qualification demanded of
the one or the other. Different types
of men must be had to oversee this
work. One may be well qualified to
look after tha affaire of tha State Un
iversity and be absolutely unfit to un
dertake tha management of tha A. A
M. College. My candid opinion Is
that unless these two great State In
stitutions are divorced from each
other by a constitutional Inhibition,
that both will suffer If continued as
tbey are, but the A. A M. College will
be the greater sufferer, which ought
not to be when so much la depndlng
on the" agricultural enterprises of our
State.
Mark my prediction, neither of
these Institutions and especially the
A. A M. will ever accomplish Its pur
poses and there will be more or less
disappointments until tbey are separ
ated, and .the sooner this dune the
better, and I will do what I can to
aid you and others along this line.
Yours truly.
J. J. FAULK.
