in that board alone.
Therefore the
•time.,and labor of the senate in con-
ducting an investigation would
spent to no purpose. The actual h*rm
• that would follow is readily/foreseen.
‘ The proponents of the investiga-
tion would line up on the one hand
t and opponents of the investigation
would line up on the other hand.
Thereupon would ensue a factional
contest in the effort of each side to
produce evidence to support its eon-
-- ... ■ v ■ -
tentipn,' and to induce action favor-
a.bfe to, its position. The real in-
terests of the university would be lost
sight of by both contending parties,
and the whole matter would end in
this great institution^ being dragged
into the mire of petty politics.
. “Who knows but that the final re-
suit might be a measure of disguat
upon the. part of members of the leg-
islature which; would lead to a cutting
off of appropriations in part if not in
whole.”
Austin, Texas, Feb. 17.—Three
prominent graduates of the .Universe
ty of Texas, Alan D. Sanford of Wa-
co; J. B. Astin of Bryan and W. P.
McLean, Jr., of Fort Worth, in a
signed interview announced today
that they were opposed tp any inves-
tigation by the senate of the affairs
of the university. Mr. Sanford infor-
mer mayor of Waco; Mr. Astin is a

former state senator, while Mr. Me-
Lean is a leading lawyer of Fort
Worth.
In this Interview these gentlemen

“As a remedy, avoid all alkali or
heavy manure soils, especially soils
that have recently received a heavy
application of green barnyard mar
nure; also, land that has recently
grown a crop of scabby potatoes
shoud not again be planted to pota-
toes. Do not plant scabby seed on
clean land, as the land will become
inoculated withi the fungus. Use
clean seed, if possible, but if scabby
seed must be used, they should be
treated as follows:
“Soak the tubers for an hour and
a half in either of the* following so-
lutions: 1st, i pint or pound of for-
maldehyde to 30 gallons of water.
2nd, 1 ounce of bichloride of mercury
(corrosive sublimate), dissolved in 8
gallons of water. Bichloride of mer-
cury is a deadly poison and^jOfclp^

“No city or town should he indif-
ferent to the culture and refinement

of its people. It is. part of the school
work to inculcate these qualities in
the children through whatever means
it has at its disposal. The wholesome
and refining influence of pictures of
the right sort on the school walls is
now generally recognized as one of
the most valuable means of securing
this end. The funds for purchasing
such pictures, as well as an oppor-
tunity. to make a selection from a
very ' large number, is secured by
means of the exhibition. The larger
the attendance, the greater the num-
ber of pictures that can be secured
for the schools.
“We hope you will not fail to visit
the exhibition, and believe you will be

fully -repaid for the slight trouble and
expense in the pleasure and profit you
will gain for yourself, besides help-
ing on the work.” * •

take if the investigation disclosed

management of the university and
even misconduct on the part of in-

authority is lodged in the senate to
take action of any kind in such case.

Potato Supply Short.
With Irish potatoes retailing at
nearly $3.00 a bushel, this crop has
very great interest at the present
moment. Irish potatoes should be
grown in every garden in Texas. V
the yield is greater than the family
can consume the surplus will bring a
good price on the market, for Texas
potatoes will mature in advance of
the great crop to be expected from
the Northwest,

The following remarks by W. B.
Lanham, horticulturist and chief of
reproductions t
master pictures,
not to be seen often in a lifetime. An
admission of 10 cents will be charg-
ed, and the funds will be used in
purchasing pictures to adorn the
walls of the local school buildings.
An advance notice of the exhibit
says: *
“This exhibition of pictures is one
of more than ordinary interest.. It
consists of carbon photographs and
-engravings, loaned by the Elson Art
Pub. Co., Inc., Belmont, Mass. ' The
collection is a large one and contains
only the very best reproductions of
'ihe masterpieces of art of different
countries and periods. Nearly every
gallery and country in-> the world
would have to be visited to see tbe
original pictures which %re bore
brought together in one collection.
“The collection comprises two hun-
dred subjects representing all the
principal schools of art and including
many reproductions bf sculpture, ar-
