CITY III ENGLAND
College Station, Tex., Oct.
16.—Enrollment at the Texas
A. A M. College has been
made possible this year for 180
Texas farm boys who other-
wise would have been unable
to attend through application
of the “live-at-home” princi-
ple of the A. & M. farm pro-
gram emphasised throughout
the state in recent years.
The plan employed provides
for community grouping of
boys unable to meet dormitory
expenses in houses off but in
the vicinity of the campus.
These boys bring food supplies,
furniture and other necessities
with them from home and each
group engages a supervisor or
supervisors, usually a man and
wife from the home communi-
ty of the particular group con-
cerned, who attend to the
bouse, prepare the meals and
look after the group’s welfare.
Much of the food brought
by the boys is grown on the
borne farms and canned at
borne under the supervision of
county and home demonstra-
tion agents. Groups from the _
vicinities of Crockett, Lufkin,
and Groesbeck, enrolled at the
college this year under the
plan, have each brought al-
most 1,700 cans of meats,
vegetables and fruits for use.

Manchester, England, Oct.
12.—Although a cotton port
and concentration center of
considerable importance, being
second in England only to
Liverpool in point of receipts
and storage, Manchester is
more closely allied to the man-
ufacturing end of the cotton
textile business than to that
phase primarily concerned
with the merchandising of the
raw product.
So thickly dotted with the
smokestacks of industry is the
city and the area about it
chat the very name of Man-
chester has become almost
■value of the food products he
brings and household expenses
are budgeted. Through this
community budgeting of ex-
penses, it has been found that
some of the students will re-
quire less than $6 a month in
cash for running expenses.
This plan, known as “coop-
erative housing project,” to-as-
sist boys desiring a college edu-
cation but without sufficient
money to pay expenses in the
usual way, was introduced
here in a small way in 1932 by
Prof. Daniel Russell, head of
the rural sociology depart-
ment. It proved so popular
with the boys caneemed that
demand for enlargement of
synonymous with manufactur-
ing. Here in fact is found the
pulsing business heart of the
great Lancashire spinning in-
dustry, an industry which ac-
counts for the largest sectional
concentration of spindles in
the world, approximately 50,-
000,000 all told.
Through the courtesy of
Norman S. Pearse, general sec-
retary of the . International
Federation of Master Cotton
Spinners and Manufacturers
Association, who paved the
way for a tour of the docks
and storage-warehouses of the
port and visits to cotton mills
of the district, the cotton pil-
grims from the Texas Agricul-
tural and Mechanical College
were afforded an interesting
insight into the workings of
the English industry. And
much comment regarding
American cotton, supplement-
ing that which fell upon their
ears from the lips of Liverpool
merchants, was voiced by the
the project developed and this\ Lancashire spinners. . .

been widened considerably.
Permission from the college
authorities to rent a house
and live off the campus is. of
course, necessary for each
■group. The students in such
■groups are also subject to
college discipline the same as
pendents in the dormitories.
The various groups so housed
this year range in number
■ from 6 to 17 students each.
Boys enrolled in these com-
munity groups are taking vari-
ous courses in the college, agri-
culture. engineering, veterina-
ry medicine, vocational teach-
ing and liberal arts. Since
jobs were difficult to find for
them, the cooperative housing
project plan was hit upon to
-solve their problem. .
This cooperative project is
-only a part of a much larger
program at the college to help
-worthy boys get an education.

xee lias been appointed by

foreign to cotton within the
bale so that the deception is
not discovered until the bale is
broken open at the mill, has
been growing in a marked way-
in American shipments in re-
cent years, spinners inter-
viewed here declared.
One spinner, F. Holroyd,
past president of the English
Federation of Master Cotton
Spinners, who uses a good
deal of American cotton, said
that during the past three or
four years the average of false
packed bales in his takings of
American cotton had run as
high as 25 per cent to 30 per
cent. He declared that in one
shipment of 1,500 bales, 50
per cent Was false packed.
Other spinners as well,
among them W. H- CatteralL
president of the English Fed-
eration of Master Cotton Spin-
ners. and W. A. Greenhalgh,
managing director of Crosses
and Wrnkworth Consolidated
Mills with 5,000,000 spindles
at Bolton, voiced emphatic
protest of this alleged practice
which they declared is pre-
judicing American trade with
the English spinning industry.
Attention was called to the
fact that the International Cot-
ton Congress at Prague the
past June adopted a resolution
protesting growth in false
packing of American cotton

for false packing rests
;tru<-d r matter of some on-
ce-, t sixty in the minds of those
making the complaint. One
prominent Liverpool cotton
merchant, the first to mention
the matter, suggested that the
blame might be at the gin or
at the door of the cotton grow-
er in loading his wagon for the
gin. One suggestion was that
in an effort to collect a final
bale, a grower might include
a lot of scrapings from the
field in his last wagon load for
the gin.
One spinner interviewed
here said the centers of some
bales, on being opened at the
mill, had been found made up
of trash and rubbish. “In
some cotton bought as strict
good middling,” he went on to
say, “the stuff in the center of
the bale was so inferior that it
graded only strict low mid-
dling.”
While the English cotton
textile industry has not yet re-
covered from the slump that
followed the boom days of
1919 to 1922, conditions gen-
erally are looking upward,
spinners indicated. Operation
of the mills during the visit
here was at about 65 per cent
of capacity, it was pointed out,
or approximately the same de-
cree of activity of the preced-
ng summer. English mills as
well as the mills of the Contin-
ent are struggling against de-
creased outlet for their pro-
ducts, a situation brought
about in part by tariff curtail-
ment of demand in foreign
.markets.
Through the courtesy of the
Manchester Ship Canal Com-
pany, the Texas group made a
motor boat tour of the Man-
chester water front on which
they had occasion to observe
the docking facilities and the
method of handling cotton in
the port. Of particular inter-
est was the great warehouses
or cotton “safes,” nine in all,
with a storage capacity for
50,000 bales of cotton. These
safes, fairly new and provid-
ing long time storage, are fire-
proof. Cotton from the holds
of ships from ports of cotton
producing countries all over
the world are lowered into
their cavernous reaches by
huge cranes. Cotton from
West Africa, from Egypt and
India, from the fields of Texas
and other cotton producing
states of America, was stored
in these safes at the time of
the visit.
Another point of particular
interest at Manchester was
the testing laboratory of the
Manchester Chamber of Com-
merce. In this laboratory tests
of almost everything relating
to cotton and the cotton textile
industry are carried on—tests
of cotton goods, spinning tests,
teats of dye3 and the effect of
light on various dyes. Prof.
F. W. Barwick is director of
the laboratory. The group was
escorted through the labora-
tory by W. G. Forsythe of the
technical s,aff.
Among the mills visited dur-
ing the stay at Manchester
was that of Richard Haworth
and Co., Ltd., at Salford. This
concern, with 160,000 spindles
and 3,000 looms, is using at
present about 500 bales of
cotton a week, mostly Ameri-
can cotton. Only 135,000 of
the mill’s spindles were in op-
eration at the time.
Prior to leaving Manchester,
the group visit ed the Shirley
Institute at Didsbupr, just at
the edge of the city, where
continual study of cotton and
spinning problems is carried
on by the British Cotton Indus-
try Research Association. Dr.
R. H. Picard, director of the
institute, received the Texans
who were shown through the
institute by F. C. Toy, deputy
director. New cleaning pro-
cess for lint developed at this
laboratory was demonstrated.
In this process, carried on in a
machine called the Shirley
Waste Analyzer, the lint is
subjected to air blaste that
cleanse it of waste and dust.
No whipping of cotton is in-
volved in the process which
has been patented. Hopes
were expressed for introduc-
tion of this process to com-
mercial use.
What is probably one of the
largest trade exchanges in
the world was found in the
Manchester Royal Exchange,
devoted to the textile industry.
This immense hall of trade
will accommodate 14,000 peo-
ple at one time on its floor.
Everything is sold there con-
nected with cotton and the
textile industry—the raw cot-
ton, cotton yarn, mill supp.ies,
machinery, belting and what-
not having to do with various
phases of the industry. The
original exchange was erected
in 1867 and in 1920 the im-
proved ana enlarged building
was opened.
When Pallet* Start Laying
It is important to have pul-
lets in their laying quarters at
least two or three weeks be-
fore they atart laying. A radi-
cal change in their environ-
ment after they start laying
may lead to a moult which,
possibly will postpone egg pro-
duction for some considerable
time. As pullets are usually
more profitable than hens, it
will pay to plan to cull out the
older birds in order to allow
sufficient room for the incom-
ing pullets. It does not pay to
overcrowd these layers but, if
there is any question about
allowing sufficient flood space,
it is better to crowd the older
birds than to allow insufficient
room for the pullets.
Perhaps the most important
consideration in the preven-
tion of cannibalism in pullets
is the amount of space allowed
per bird. For general purpose
or heavy breeds, it is best to
allow four square feet per
bird. For Leghorns, three and
a half square feet per bird if
penned up during the winter
and three square feet if the
birds run out year round, _ is
standard. Less space per bird
is needed in large flocks than
in small ones. More pullets
can be housed successfully in
a given area as the pullets are
more susceptible to colds than
are the hens and, as has al-
ready been mentioned, are
more liable to become canni-
balistic It is also important to
allow at least one nest to each
four or five pullets.
Before the pullets are placed
in their laying quarters the
house must be free from dis-
ease and parasites. A mixture
of boiling water and household
lye is commonly used, at the
rate of one pound of lye to
fortv gallons of water. The hot
lye solution, applied as near
the boiling point as possible,
helps to remove dried manure
and dirt that may be on the
floor, walls and equipment of
the house. Following the
washing, it is advisable to
apply a spray containing some
good disinfectant. There are
many disinfectants on the
market suitable for poultry
houses. In purchasing disin-
fectant*. it is advisable to note
the phenol coefficient of the
materials, as disinfectants are
rated by a comparison of their
germ-killing power with car-
bolic acid. Pine oil disinfec-
tants have been found to be
very effective germ killers.
In addition to the elimina-
tion of diseased or apparently
diseased birds at the time the
pullets are housed, many poul-
trymen take precautions of
vaccination against chicken
pox and the treatment of the
pullets for intestinal parasited
while they are still on range.
Pullets require careful su-
pervision at the time they are
irst put into their laying quar-
ters. It is usually necessary
to give them some assistance
in becoming accustomed to the
roosts.
An epidemic of Fall colds
often starts by allowing pul-
lets to spend the night on tfte
' ...........
floor, huddled into a corner, on
or in the nests, on the rafters
of the house or even in the
windows at the front-of, the
house.
