STEPHENVILLE, Texas, Dec. 5.—
The present depression in farm prices
is. waking farn.ets to the advantages
of mule breeding, according to Nea'
Gcarreald, director of the School of
Agricultue at J*,hn Tarletuli Agricul-
tuial College. As an economical
source of power, getting “fi.el” * and
‘'lubricating oil” from almost worth-
less oats, as a source of organic mat-
ter to maintain in the fertility of the
soil, and as a source of income frt>m
the sale of cobs, he believes that
most farmers would profit from such
« project.
In line with t.iis theory, the college
has recently- purchased, for use on
the college farm, King Mammoth’s
of* j Tarzan, reputed to be the only jack
I ever to.have been, as a colt, grand
| champion of the jack and jennet show
at the Texas State Fair at Dallas.
Tarzan ..was grand champion^of the
State Fajr in 1923, when he was only
seven months old. He was tine of the*’
