Dallas, Oct. 21.—With a model of
a seed plot for selecting and im-
proving seeds, a model dairy farm
and many exhibits intended to in-
struct farmers in the principles of
diversification and intelligent con-
versation of the natural resources
of the soil and the production of
the best results from the animal
husbandry of the farm, the exhibit
of the agricultural information de-
partment of the Agricultural and
Mechanical College of Texas was
completed yesterday. All during
the day a steady stream of Fair vis-
itors passed through the display in
Machinery Hall, viewing the exhib-
its and listening to the explana-
tions by Superintendent C. M. Ev-
ans and his corps of assistants, com-
posed of professors and students
from the college.
The main ideas which the college
is attempting to encourage by this
exhibit are those of diversification,
intelligent breeding of live stock
and care for them, and selection
and propagation* of varieties of seed
best adapted to the farm on which
they are to be used, an adaptation
which can be best accomplished by
each farmer having a seed plot of
his own, where he selects the best
and is able in a few years’ time to
have at his command a wholesale
supply of good seeds. The meth-
ods employed in accomplishing this
object consist mainly in visualizing
the processes to be adopted by the
farmer who would realize to the
opportunities offered by Texas farm
ing.
Model Seed Plot.
I The model seed plot has beenlaid
off in a space about ten feet square
and shows the proper methods of
propagating varieties of corn, cotton
and small grains, emphasizing the
need to tassel corn and the immedi-
ate benefits to be gained from seed
selection. Above this plot hangs
what the exhibitors have styled the
“Liberty Bell of Texas.” It is a
large bell made of alfalfa, peanuts
a-nd cow peas and their vines, sig-
nifying the liberation of the farmer
from the excessive drains of his
soil by constant planting of corn and
cotton. Alfalfa is always a profita-
ble crop and peanuts and cow peas
are increasingly so. The chief val-
ue of these leguminous plants, it is
explained, is in the nitrogen which
they supply to the impoverished soil,
particularly so If cow peas or pea-
nuts are planted and hogs are allow-
ed to run on the ground and root at
pleasure. Even if the whole crop,
vines, roots and fruit are taken off
the soil, It is stated that they do
not impoverish the soil nearly so
much as would cotton or corn. Oth-
er legumens, such as soy beans, are
also beneficial in the same way.
The model dairy farm shows the
proper laying out of a farm of 160
acres for the best results. Dairy
farming seems to be the ultimate
type of development where lands
have gone as high as $75 per acre.
It is considered the only kind of
farming that will increase the fer-
tility of the soil rather than dimin-
ish it. The proper crop rotation
for such a farm is shown.
At the entrance to the exhibit are

ary trees. The pecan will not grow
wel1, on sandy soil, but by grafting
on hickory trees an excellent vari-
ety of pecans 'may be produced. Ex-
amples of class work in this line
are exhibited and farmers are taught
how to do the* grafting and budding.
In scientific dairying the work at
the college has long ranked very
high and an imposing pyramid of
sixty-two quart bottles of milk shows
the daily product of the world’s
champion milch cow. Near it is a
stack of tubs of butter, containing
1,247 pounds, the annual product of
the champion butter cow. Both are
Holsteins. In balanced rations it is
explained what mistakes are made
by Texas cattle raisers and the man-
ner in w'hich the different grains
and hays should be used to get best
results from stock for milk or meat.
Around the walls of the exhibition
room are placed samples of the va-
rious grades of cotton according to
the Government classification, dif-
ferent Texas grains, hays and grass-
es, and charts of wheat and oats in
the various stages of growth.
Injurious Pests Shown.
The entomological department
shows a number of the injurious in-
sect pests affecting Texas crops in
all stages of growth, incubation and
development. The boll weevil, the
mosquito, the cotton leaf worm, which
has done so much damage this year;
the rice weevil and the other pests
are shown. Near this exhibit is
one of the chemicals and methods
that are best to destroy each of
these insects, with directions for
mixing and applying. J
The soil fertility department
shows samples of soil from different
parts of Texas and next to each
soil the form of fertilizer that is
best suited to that soil.

“The primary objec tf this meet-
ing is t discuss these measures and
understand in cmmnn the plans and
points of improvement which they
offer.
“Charges are made against the
public schools, that in many in-
stances a few large pupils are re-
ceiving an undue amount of the
teacher’s time <to the sore neglect
of many smaT children; that the
children are not being taught to
read well; that pupils of different
grades are placed together in the
same class. Investigation seems to
prove the truthfulness of these
charges. Some blame the teacher,
some the text books and others, the
pupil. Who is to blame? Will your
presence, experience and obser-
vation help us answer this question
and seek the remedy.
Please think on the following ques-
tions and make calculations if nec-
essary. Should teachers be permit-
ted to teach subjects not included
in their certificate? At what time
does the school open and close each
day? How much time is given for
noon and recesses? How many min-
utes are left for actual work? How
many recitation, periods should your
boy or girl have per day? How many
minutes does the teacher spend
with each recitation? Do first year
pupils all enter at the same time?
When they do not, does your teach-
er have them all recite together or
in separate classes? How much time
