With the exception of three or four members, our entire class has returned to school since January 1st, yet, in the short time available for this work, and aside from the abnormal over¬ crowdedness and pressure in the class room, we have endeavored to assemble a mass of material which we hope will represent to the public our very best effort to overcome the many hardships we were destined to encounter, and to show you that A M is well alive and going forward at “double time.” If we have failed in our object and effort to please all, we have no apologies to make, but assure you that “we have done our best.” If, on the other hand, indulgent reader, you find some things that please you, we feel that our efforts have been well repaid.

That was still the time when we went to the Mess Hall and to our classes in the mud. We really cannot see how we had enough room for our classes for we have several new build¬ ings now and have not any too much room as it is. A num¬ ber of modern brick buildings, improved roads, lights along the Mili¬ tary Walk, a great number of new campus homes, and flowers and trees on the campus are some of the improvements we have noticed in our four years here. And there are almost innumerable little de¬ tails of improvements that have been made that go toward making our campus a desirable place to live in. The present plans show that the changes in the next four years will be far greater than they have been in the past. sel Amiplanp UiPtu of the (Eollegp “Progress is the Law of Life.” Page Nine iMilitary Halk “And pleasant is the way that lies before ' Page Eleven Mark ifranria l|aU “The Treasures there are so rare It drives me ivild to see them” Page T i.i ' el-ve Wm m Page Thirteen SIohh g tatup “Soldier, Statesman, and Knightly Gentleman ' P(i(je Fourteen UtHZpU l all ' ‘There are no boys like Hie good old boys.

BOSQUE Assistant Professor HE Department of Agricultural Engineering has as its primary purpose the training of students along those lines of engineering which are constantly pre¬ senting themselves to the modern farmer. Realizing that the present tendency is toward power farming, and knowing that success depends greatly on the farmer’s ability to operate, care for, and repair modern power equipment, the department has devided its work as follows: First, course in the operation, care, and repair of all kind of farm machinery and equipment; second, power machinery such as gas engines, tractors, trucks, and automobiles; third, farm conveniences such as home lighting plants, water supply systems, sewage disposal by septic tank methods, and designs of modern farm buildings and out houses; fourth, irrigation, drainage, and terracing. During the war this department trained over two thousand soldiers—Auto-Mechanics. 1 Page Twenty-nine Agricultural lEtiurattun M. L. HAYES, B. S., A. M. Professor W. A. BROYLES, B. S., M. A. L. B.

Associate Professor Associate Professor 1 tffc, purpose of this department is to train teachers of Agriculture and teachers of trades and industries. Graduates of the School of Agriculture, who have taken the required work of this department, are qualified to teach Agriculture jvh M in the high schools of the state, receiving funds from the Federal Government, under the provisions of the Smith-Hughes Act. Teachers of trades and in- � ni dustries are chosen from tradesmen in the industrial centers of the state and trained in evening classes by members of the departmental staff. The Department of Vocational Teaching is to he transferred from the School of Agri¬ culture to a new school that will he organized before next year. This school is to he called the School of Vocational Education. The aim of the new school will he the training of teachers of Agriculture and teachers of trades and industries. There will he in this school a four-year course leading to the degree of B. S. in Agricultural Edu¬ cation. a four-year course leading to the degree of B. S. in Industrial Education, and o two-year course leading to a certificate in. Industrial Education. Page Thirty Agronomy J. O. MORGAN. B. A., M. S. A.. Ph. D. Professor C. A. WOOD, B. S. A., M. S. Associate Professor s. a. McMillan, b. s. Professor A. D. SUTTLE, B. S. A. Instructor NSTRUCTION in Agronomy, as given in this college, is subdivided into three groups of courses as follows: Soils, Farm Crops, Farm Management. It is the aim of this department to give the student such theoretical and practical knowledge as will enable him to produce maximum crops at a reason¬ able cost and at the same time keep the soil permanently productive. The courses are based upon a knowledge of the fundamental sciences underlying Agriculture, and are taught in such a manner as to give these sciences their proper ap¬ plication. For giving this instruction, the department has, in addition to its recitation rooms, well equipped laboratories in soils, farm crops, and farm management, and a thirty-five acre Agronomy field laboratory, which is used for instruction in soil fertility, crop pro¬ duction, and plant breeding. The department also has a modern greenhouse, 67 x 25 feet, which is used entirely for instructional purposes. Page Thirty-one Animal ifaabaniinj J. C. BURNS, B. S. Professor T. A. ROUSE. B. S.

Instructor work of the Animal Husbandry Department involves a general study of live stock production. Special attention is given to live stock farming, with refer- ence to Texas conditions. The work may he grouped under four main heads: First, the Judging of Live Stock. This embraces a study of the conformation of beef cattle, dairy cattle, horses, mules, sheep, and hogs, with special emphasis I � nl as to the function of each and the importance of the various types to the stock- man, butcher, and consumer. Second, the Breeding of Live Stock. This includes a study of the principles and practices of animal breeding which form the basis of proper selection and mating for the production of pure bred live stock and market animals. Third, the Feeding of Live Stock. This involves a general study of feed stuffs and their economic uses for the different classes of stock and a study of the practical feeding operations throughout the state. Fourth, the Management of Live Stock. This deals with the raising of horses, cattle, sheep, and swine, and covers all features of management in production and marketing. Special attention is given to the management of pure bred herds and flocks. The aim of the department is to familiarize the students with the types of various classes of live stock, their adaptability to various conditions, and the practical operation of a live stock farm. For this purpose the department maintains a herd of approxi¬ mately two hundred, fifty individual animals, representative of the most important breeds of beef cattle, horses, sheep, and swine, and operates a farm of about two hundred thirty acres, part of which is used for growing feed stuf fs and part for pasture. With this equipment, the students have an opportunity of studying every phase of the live stock industry. Page Thirty-tuco Htnlnijg O. M. BALL, B. A., M. A., Ph. D. Professor H. CASSIDY, A. M. X. L. T. NELSON, Ph. D. Associate Professor Associate Professor G. W. GOLDSMITH, A. B. R. E. McCAULEY, A. B. Assistant Professor Instructor IOLOGY concerns itself with living things, their structure, functions, and modes of life. Even a slight knowledge of these matters leads an enquiring mind inevitably to ask, “Why?” Why is function intimately related to form and structure, and why do these inexorably determine the mode of life? Whence came the myriad forms about us and how did they arise and develop? And so the mind is led to consider the fundamental principles that govern the origin, development, continuation, and, perhaps, disappearance of living things, and discovers that these laws, though apparently more complex, are just as vigorous and compelling as those that control the world of inanimate things. The courses here fall into three groups: Botany, Zoology, and Bacteriology. In the study of plants and animals greater emphasis is laid on how they work and live than on structure: yet functions and life processes are not understandable without a correct knowledge of anatomy. In Bacteriology on the other hand, but little can be learned from structure. The life history is of far greater importance, and is therefore given greater emphasis. Sairg igtabaniirg J. AY. RIDGWAY, B. S., M. S. Professor L. P. THOMAS Instructor A. W. REYNOLDS. B. S. Assistant Professor HE educational work offered in this department has as its object the training of men to become dairy farmers, dairy husbandry teachers, extension workers in dairy husbandry, and as research specialists. The course of study is so arranged that opportunity is afforded students to specialize in either the production held of dairying or the manufacturing held. The production held deals exclusively with the various problems of milk production. Careful attention is given to the selection of breeds and judging of dairy animals, and the feeding of dairy herds. As a means of affording instruction in this particular held the department main¬ tains a dairy herd consisting of one hundred, hfty head of cattle, including Holsteins, Jerseys, and Ayrshires, and a dairy farm of seven hundred acres. The manufacturing work deals with the manufacture of various dairy products from milk. Special instruction is given in the making of butter, ice cream, and the handling of market milk. The College creamery, operated in connection with this department, affords opportunity for students to obtain practical experience in this held. Page Thirty-four iEntnmnlngg S. W. BILSING, M. A., B. S. Professor H. C. YINGLING, M. S. Assistant Professor HE Department of Entomology has planned its courses with four objects in view: First, the student is trained in general Entomology, so as to enable him to recognize the most common injurious and beneficial insects. Special atten¬ tion is given to a study of the life histories of insects that are injurious to staple fruit and truck crops and live stock. Second, to train men as scientific Entomologists, who intend to engage in teaching, extension work, or with the United States Department of Agriculture. Third, the department has planned a course for those who are studying Veterinary Medicine, or those especially interested in the parasites of domestic animals. In this course the insects which produce diseases in men and animals are studied. Fourth, the training of students in Agriculture. The department is equipped with a small apiary, honey extractors, wax presses, and sufficient equipment to give a student a thorough training in commercial beekeeping. Page T lirty-five HE Forestry Department aims to give students a general idea of forestry prin¬ ciples and conditions, and to demonstrate forestry practice through laboratory and held work. The great need for tree planting and the large area in farm woodlots in Texas has led the department to offer work designed to help the students of west Texas appreciate the value of shade trees and wind-breaks. Other courses are intended to assist east Texas students in managing, valuing, and marketing their woodlots at their true worth. Men in the Engineering Department are given an oppor¬ tunity to become familiar with the properties and uses of structural and finish woods in Page T iirty-six BnrltruUure E. J. KYLE, B. S„ M. S. A. I ' rclessor and Dean of Agriculture x. m. McGinnis, b. s. Associate Professor A. T. POTTS, B. S., M. S. A. Professor F. W. HENSEL, B. S., M. S. A. Associate Professor HE aim of this department is three fold: first, to train men for Research work; second, to prepare men to teach Horticulture, and to do Extension work in Horticulture; third, to develop practical fruit and vegetable growers. In order to successfully accomplish these aims, the students are given a thorough grounding during their Freshman and Sophomore years in the fun¬ damental sciences of Chemistry, Biology, Geology, and Entimology; and in their Senior year they are given work, principally in the technical agricul¬ tural subjects, especially those along Horticultural lines. The technical courses cover somewhat fully the different lines of Horticulture, in¬ cluding Plant Propagation, Vegetable Gardening, Fruit Growing, Nut Culture, Plant Breeding, Viticulture, Spraying, Citrus Fruits, and Experimental Horticulture, besides Special work in Landscape Art and Floriculture. The department now has growing on the College grounds standard varieties of peaches, pecans, grapes, persimmons, pears, plums, and figs, and small fruits, consist¬ ing of blackberries and dewberries. Besides the theoretical and practical work given at the College, the student is given an opportunity to work, during the summer, in the orchards and on the vegetable farms of the largest growers, not only in this state, but other leading vegetable and fruit growing states. Page Thirty-seven floultrjj Huabaniirg THOMAS J. CONWAY, B. S. Associate Professor HE aims of this department are to develop the poultry industry of the state, and to train the students of the College in the different phases of the industry, so that when they return to the fai’in, or engage in agricultural work, they may properly and intelligently breed and develop poultry, and make it one of the most attractive phases of farming. The work is considered primarily in its application to general farm conditions. A general course in Farm Poultry is required of all Sophomores, and advanced courses in Feeding and Management are offered Juniors and Seniors. A farm of forty acres, of which about twelve are being developed at present, is used for practice and management work. On this farm there are: One large permanent lay¬ ing house; four permanent breeding houses; eight portable laying houses, with yards and runs; one pigeon house; a number of brooder houses; a feed and supply house. The following breeds and varieties of poultry are maintained: S. C. White Leghorn, S. C. Brown Leghorn. Rhode Island Red, White Plymouth Rock, Golden Campine, Dark Cornish, Black Langshan, Buff Cochin, White Cochin Bantam, English Pheasants, White King, Red Carneau and Homer Pigeons.

Professor PHYSIOLOGY AND PHARMACOLOGY S. N. BLACKBURG, D. V. M. Assistant Professor OR many years Texas has been a leader in the number and value of its domestic animals. With our increase in population has come a great increase in its demand for meats and dairy products. As conditions changed, diseases of animals became more prevalent and important. To protect this branch of agri¬ culture, a school of veterinary medicine was formally opened in 1918, and an earnest endeavor is being made to check, and completely remedy diseases all over the state. Page Forty Wmm The physical equipment consists of a large laboratory, a hospital, a plant for the preparation of hog cholera serum, a Texas fever barn, a field laboratory for Anthrax serum, and the usual enclosures for animals. A profession that has to its credit the eradication of foot and mouth diseases, the reduction and final extinction of Texas fever, and the control of hog cholera. It is entitled to the confidence and respect of the public, and will receive it. A four-year course of study has been inaugurated, and put in operation, and it will be but a few years until men, quite familiar with the anatomy and diseases of animals will be available to safeguard the interests of the stock grower and the meat consumer. m r 1 IT i Page Forty-one Page Forty-two Page Forty-three J.

Associate Professor Page Forty-seven S’rijool of lEngtnppnng UKINa the current session the curricula and the attendance in the School of Engineering have been very badly cut up by the adjustments necessary to meet the requirements arising from the War. Fortunately these difficulties have be en passed over and as the session draws to a close there comes a feeling that things look brighter and more promising than ever. The experiences aris¬ ing out of the war and from our contact with the S. A. T. C. have led to the revisions of the curricula of all Courses, to he effective next session. With the growing complexity of modern buildings the architect’s work is more and more exacting, touching, on one hand, the various engineering professions and. on the other hand, the ideals and inspirations of a fine art. m � r Page Forty-eight The architect touches the housing problem and the service development involved at every turn. Therefore in addition to being an artist, an executive, a designer, and an engineer, the architect must he a leader in the work of improving the standards of living in his community. It is unusual for a man to become especially proficient in both the constructive and the artistic lines of architecture. The Department of Architecture aims to meet this situation by offering, two groups of studies in the Senior year. The one group is for the designer, the other is for the engineer. The Architectural Club, composed of students and members of the teaching staff, meets semi-monthly to discuss subjects of professional interest. The Club makes for interest, spirit, and good fellowship, so necessary to the work which requires long and intensive work. Special lectures, and Architectural and Artistic exhibits are brought to the College Page Forty-nine from time to time and assist to the same ends as mentioned in connection with the Archi¬ tectural Club. Of rapidly growing importance is the work of the chemical engineer. At this College the Course in Chemical Engineering is one of those more recently established. Its growth in numbers and importance have come as a natural result of the intimate connection between chemistry and industrial processes. The demand for men trained in Chemical Engineering is constantly increasing in the laboratories of industrial organizations and in the government laboratories. The demand for chemical engineers to till responsible positions in the petroleum industry and the cotton seed oil industry is very urgent and the demand will be greater due to the rapid development of these industries. Practically all the departments of the United States government employ chemists to investigate problems pertaining to their work. Sanitary chemists are especially needed to guarantee the purity of the drinking water Mi Page Fifty and the milk and milk products for our cities, as well as on many other problems per¬ taining to the general health. In order to prepare men for specialized work in Chemical Engineering an oppor¬ tunity is given in the Senior year of the Chemical Engineering Course for the student to specialize in the Petroleum Techinology, the Cotton Seed Oil Industry, Sanitary Chem¬ istry, or any other specialized field. J. C. Nagle, Dean of the Engineering, is the head of the Department of Civil En¬ gineering, which owes so much of its development to him. Many of the engineers sent- out by the College are graduates from the general course in Civil Engineering which is one of the older courses offered. To meet a growing need, the Course has been differentiated in the upper classes; and, in the curriculum just adopted to go into effect next September, there are offered two groups of studies. One of these groups is for those interested in General Civil En¬ gineering while the other is for those interested in Highway and Municipal Engineering. Notable and valuable equipment developments have been made in the department laboratories during the present session. The Department does valuable work in co-opera¬ tion with cities interested in the analysis and testing of materials for all kinds of high¬ way construction. With the Physics Department removed to its new building, now under contract, the Civil Engineering Department will have ample quarters and will thus be enabled to make valuable additions to the equipment; and to care for the expected growth in the attend¬ ance. The first class in Electrical Engineering graduated in 11)06 and since then more than two hundred young men have graduated from the course, almost all of them engaged in electrical work. While the general subjects and the fundamentals of engineering, are taught in other departments, the major work is taught in the Department of Electrical Engineering, Page Fifty-two which is housed in the specially designed and well appointed Electrical Engineering Building. When the new Mechanical Engineering Building now under construction is completed it will give to the Department of Electrical Engineering the opportunity to expand as is made necessary by the growth in the attendance and by the Signal Corps work connected with the newly established unit of the R. O. T. C. In addition to the regular equipment of the department valued at $50,000.00, there is a large assortment of communication apparatus recently deposited with the depart¬ ment by the United States Government. During the latter part of the present session radio telephone work is being carried on for short distances as a part of the radio instruction. Within a short time after re¬ moval of restriction imposed d uring the war it is expected that a first class radio tele¬ phone station will be operated. First of the noteworthy changes in the Department of Mechanical Engineering in the nrsrsTn 1 Page Fifty-three past twelve months came the training of the soldiers in several different mechanical trades. Radio mechanics and Signal Corps men were given part of their training in the wood shop. Following these came machinists and blacksmiths, who put in full time in the shops. When the Government needed horse shoers, this department was equal to the task and gave a very thorough and satisfactory course of training in that line. This course was supplemented by lectures and laboratory work in the School of Veterinary Medicine. The college work of the year has been very materially modified, and during the first term was rather disorganized owing to the establishing of the S. A. T. C. units. The second and third terms have found the students settling down to better work than usual. In personnel, there have been changes in the teaching force involving some of the teachers wel l known to the students, but taken as a whole there has been less disorgan¬ ization than might have been expected—especially in view of the fact that mechanical Page Fifty-four i I S t . j engineers have been and still are in great demand in the Service and in civil activities as well. Materially, the Department of Mechanical Engineering has had conspicuous growth. A new forge shop has been erected and equipped with latest and most up-to-date ap¬ paratus. A new fire-proof building is now being erected to care for the offices, class rooms, and design rooms. This new building has been so long needed that all its space will be occupied at once. May we not hope that another year may see the old, unsightly shops and laboratories doomed to replacement by more modern, up-to-date buildings suited to the importance of the instruction given. The Department of Textile Engineering was established in 1903, and is housed in a typical cotton mill building, slightly modified to care for class room instruction. As a new feature textile students are now employed during much of their spare time in operating the equipment for the production of canvas on a commercial scale for the spi mm Page Fifty-five market. This encourages the students to greater proficiency in their training for posi¬ tions as overseers, superintendents, and mill managers. At the same time they have an opportunity to earn sufficient money to materially assist in defraying their expenses while at college. The requirements of an examination before a State Board of Examiners for license as “Public Cotton Classers” has awakened a great interest in cotton classing and stapling. The prospects are that the Summer School of Cotton Classing, which has been successfully conducted several years with very gratifying attendance, will receive a pro¬ nounced impetus for the session of the summer of 1919. For instruction in this work during the Summer Session and during the regular session a specialist will devote his full time to this increasingly important work of Cotton Classing and Stapling. m Page Fifty-seven 1 C.vo.Utf ytfv S.c. bury cVu� s.

IIP Texas A.urioultural Experiment Station is one of the live coordinate divisions of the Agricultural and Mechanical ( ' ollege of Texas. Its function is the in¬ vestigation of agricultural problems. It consists of a central station at ( ' ol- lege Station, and thirteen substations, located in various sections of the State, as follows: Angle! on Beeville Beaumont ( ' hillicothe Denton Lubbock Nacogdoches These substations are used for extending the work of tin Main Station, so that Statewide information may be secured upon the various phases of Station work. The Station at the present time is supported by $ 01 ).000.00 Federal and $lxo.X70.4 State funds, for the year. The work of the Station comprises the investigation of the more important problems of veterinary science, chemistry, horticulture, animal industry, entomology, agronomy, plant pathology and physiology, forestry, plant breeding, rural economics, and tin Feed Control Service. The Station is a source of valuable information for students of agri¬ culture and the farmers and stockmen of the State. It is looked to for facts by tin School of Agriculture, the Extension Service, and other agencies for the dissemination of agricultural information. The work of the Main Station, and of the Feeding and Breeding substation (Sub¬ station No. 1 ) presents to students very unusual opportunities both in theoretical instruction and practical experience. The closest and most cordial cooperation exists among the Station and the other co¬ ordinated divisions of the College, and the various members of the Station staff are in touch with the teachers and extension workers in their related subjects. A brief statement of the work of tin Station, by divisions and substations, is as follows: Pecos Spur Temple Troup Sonora College Station. MAIN STATION: Vet ’rin(iry Sci , ncc : The Division of Veterinary Science conducts researches covering the diseases of farm animals of various kinds. Special attention is being given to diseases affecting horses and mules, cattle, sheep, goats, and swine. Chemistry : The Division of Chemistry conducts researches relating to feedstuffs, soils, fertilizers, irrigation waters, minerals, paints, and miscellaneous analyses: analyses of feeding stuffs for the Feed Control Service: and the enforcement of the State law regulating the Side of commercial fertilizers. The Chief of the Division of Chemi stry is also State Chemist. IIorticulturc : The Division of Horticulture conducts researches relating to fruits, vegetables, and ornamental trees and shrubs, and the introduction and propagation of new and promising varieties of fruits, vegetables and shrubs from foreign countries. A nimat Industry : Under the Division of Animal Industry researches are conducted with reference to the feeding, breeding and management of various types of farm animals, including cattle, horses, sheep, goats, swine, and poultry. Substations No. 7. 10. and 14. are used somewhat extensively for various lines of research into problems relating to the animal industry of the State. Page Fifty-nine ,1 $g Entomology : The Division of Entomology conducts researches relating to the various insect pests affecting the crops of the State, including life-history and methods of control of the various species, as well as researches relating to the bee keeping industry of the State. The Chief of this Division is also State Entomologist, and as such has immediate charge of the enforcement of the law regulating foul brood in bees. Agronomy : The Division of Agronomy conducts researches relating to the various farm crops adapted to the State, and pays special attention to the introduction and propagation of new and promising crops from foreign countries. Attention is also paid to soil fertility, and researches are conducted as to methods of application of fertilizers and green manures for soil improvement. Plant Pathology and Physiology : The Division of Plant Pathology and Physiology conducts researches relating to the diseases affecting plants of the State, with a view to developing methods of combating them. Both field crops and vegetable diseases are studied, as well as diseases of trees, ornamentals, and shrubs of various kinds. Forestry : The Division of Forestry conducts researches relating to the introduction, preserva¬ tion and propagation of forest trees in various parts of the State, and the maintenance of an adequate timber supply for the State. The Chief of this Division is also State Forester, charged by law with the prevention of forest fires. Plant Breeding : The Division of Plant Breeding conducts researches that relate to the breeding of plants, and their improvement, including field crops such as cotton, corn, the sorghums, and so forth, with special attention being paid to inheritance, and determination of the Mendelian unit characters. Farm and Ranch Economics: In years gone by, it has been the custom for experiment stations to take up specific problems affecting farm practices, for solution by specialists. At the present time there is quite a general change in viewpoint which causes the experiment station to look upon all farm problems as being a part of or having a bearing upon the more general problems of rural economics and sociology. In accordance with a Nation-wide movement, there has been created on the Texas Station a Division of Farm and Ranch Economics, for the purpose of studying the economic problems affecting the agriculture of the State. In the future, therefore, the work of the specialists will be so arranged as to solve specific problems and at the same time throw light upon the more general economic problems. Feed Control Service: State law regulating the sale of concentrated commercial feeding stuffs and the materials from which they are manufactured, provides for defining them, prohibiting their adulteration, correct weighing and marking, the collection of samples, the expenses of enforcing the law, and fixing penalties, places the enforcement of the act in the hands of the Director of the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station. The Director is em¬ powered to adopt names, standards and definitions; to refuse registration of any feeding stuff under a name which would be misleading as to the materials of which it is made up, or which does not conform to the standards, and after ten days’ notice to cancel such registration as may be found in violation of the law or contrary to the names, standards and definitions in effect. The purpose of the Feed Control Service, which is operated as a division of the Station, is to afford protection alike to buyers and sellers of feeding stuffs. The seller is protected by the development of uniform standards which eliminate unfair competition. He is expected to comply with the law, not merely for the sake of compliance, but be¬ cause in the long-run it is the wisest course. By a comparison of the constituents of the feeding stuff, from the information printed on the tax tag attached to the parcel, the buyer is enabled to determine for himself which is the cheapest feed to use, his particular needs considered. Annual bulletins are issued, giving the names, standards and defini¬ tions : lists of firms registered for the purpose of selling feeds in Texas, and the feeds offered by them, as well as the chemical composition of these feeds, as determined by the Chemist for the Feed Control Service, Discrepancies are also shown, and from these bulletins it is an easy matter for one to determine whether or not a given feed comes up to guarantee, and its correct nature and value. Si m T-i I m fj::“ tes m The Feed Control is continuously investigating problems encountered in the enforce¬ ment of the law, with reference to the feeding values of various feeds and combinations of feeds. The results of these investigations are given to the people of the State through bulletins and circulars, issued from time to time. SUBSTATIONS : Though the work at the substations is an extension of the researches carried by the specialists of the Main Station, it is well to outline the work, in order that those inter¬ ested may have opportunity to note the practical bearing of the substation work to the problems of the regions in which they are located. Each substation, and all the work thereon, is under the immediate direction of a man with special training and experience, for the supervision of the research work. He is known as the Superintendent. The thirteen substations, owned and operated by the State as a part of the Station, as their name implies, are subordinate to and a part of the Main Station. In the location of these substations due regard has been given to the need of outlying work within the several agricultural regions. A brief statement relating to the location and chief lines of work of the various substations follows: No. 1, Beeville, Bee County; established originally for truck farming researches, but later on modified to include work in general agriculture. No. 2, Troup, Smith County; established primarily as a fruit substation, but now Includes vegetables and field crops. No. 3, Angleton, Brazoria County; where crop production problems are studied in connection with poor drainage conditions, and special work is carried in plant introduc¬ tion and propagation. No. 4, Beaumont, Jefferson County; primarily a rice experiment farm, but the work has been extended to include problems pertaining to general farming. No. 5, Temple, Bell County; where crop production and plant introduction, under Texas root rot conditions, are being studied. No. 6, Denton, Denton County; originally a small grains experiment farm, but the work has been extended to cover the various farm problems of the section. No. 7, Spur, Dickens County; located in a ranching section to determine the possibili¬ ties of dry-land farming. In addition to the agronomic work, especially with grain sor¬ ghums and cotton, important sheep breeding and feeding researches are conducted on this substation. No. 8, Lubbock, Lubbock County; located with a view to introducing a sufficiency of plants to give the farmer an adequate number of field crops, fruits, and vegetables to make agriculture in the section both pleasant and profitable. Both dry-land and irrigation researches are conducted at this substation. No. 9, Pecos, Reeves County; located on a gypsum soil where irrigation must be practiced. No. 10, the Feeding and Breeding substation; located near the College in order to have the investigations in feeding and breeding of animals as close as possible to the institution. The students of the College benefit directly from this work. No. 11, Nacogdoches, Nacogdoches County; located primarily for the purpose of studying the tobacco industry in Eastern Texas. The work, however, has been elaborated upon and extended, to cover the leading farm problems of the section. No. 12, Chillicothe. Hardeman County; operated cooperatively with the United States Department of Agriculture. This substation was established for the purpose of intro¬ ducing and improving dry-land grains and forages for the semi-arid sections of the State. No. 14, Sonora, Sutton County; situated partly in Edwards County, and partly in Sonora County. This substation was provided for by the Thirty-fourth Legislature, as a special sheep and Angora goat substation, in the sheep and goat raising section of the State. The energies of this substation will be devoted primarily to the goat and sheep industries, and the problems relating to them.

Page Sixty-three %JFV iExtatiiimt eniirr T. 0. WALTON, Acting Director HE greatest problem in agricultural development has not been the teach¬ ing of farmers the principles of scientific agriculture. It has rather been to secure the proper application and practice of the scientific principles with which they are familiar. When this problem is once solved there will be little trouble in finding a way to impart to them a greater knowl¬ edge of this science, which has always been and doubtless will continue to be essential to the highest agricultural development. Those in closest touch with the problem are thoroughly convinced that its solution will be found more readily through object lessons. In speaking of this matter more than twelve years ago, Dr. Seaman A. Knapp, while addressing the Ninth Conference for Education in the South, at Lexington, Ky., May 4, 1906, aptly remarked: “There is only one effective way to reach and influence the farming classes, and that is by object lessons. ' ’ This sentiment was expressed after years of mature study and reflection and the object lesson or demonstration has become the watch word of the Extension Service of the A. and M. College, which is the authorized medium for carrying the results of research work and experiments from reliable sources to the farmers on their farms. It is also the duty of the County Agent, Home Demonstration Agent and Specialist to help the people of the rural communities digest this information and apply the principles in the most practical manner to the problems of the farm and home. Demonstrators are enrolled throughout each county in such a manner as to have at least one demonstration in each community. Arrangements are made for the neighbors to visit the demonstrations at stated intervals for the purpose of observing the results obtained by the application of the best cultural principles for that section. In this manner each member of the community may have an op¬ portunity of seeing the results secured where the soil, climatic conditions, etc., are practically identical with their own, and are thus impressed with the fact that they may obtain similar results by following the same cultural practices. That the work is receiving popular approval and proving a great factor in agricultural advancement is evidenced by the results shown in the Annual Eeport of the Extension Service for the year 1918. There were 10,193 farm demonstrators and 31,790 farm cooperators; 138,754 members of the Boys’ Agricultural Clubs; 1,216 Home Demonstrators and 14,396 members of the Girls’ Canning and Poultry Clubs. The results obtained show that the farmers and farm women as well as the club members, cooperating with the Extension Service of the College as demon¬ strators have produced $11,086,998.15 more wealth than they would have pro¬ duced had they followed the ordinary methods practiced in their several communities. The Extension Service is the newest division of the A. and M. College, yet the results obtained from year to year have been so positive as to demonstrate that the experimental stage has been passed and that the necessity for the Service is now firmly established. i S3 Page Sixty-four (Htje A an m ©oUfgf; IJaHt Prrantt an 5 Jfaturp MONG the many plans for educational reconstruction resulting from the lessons learned in the Great War one fact stands out clearly:—higher education must he broadened and made more practical. The war was es¬ sentially a college man’s war and the recognition given the colleges and college men by the War Department has done more than anything else to place the colleges firmly in the confidence and esteem of the American people. But to retain this confidence and esteem the institutions of higher learning must break away from the old traditions and become in a real sense national assets. The war demanded of the colleges definite, tangible and practical results, and the colleges responded with unexpected enthusiasm and thoroughness. It is not too much to say that the work of the colleges was a vital factor in the winning of the war for the allies. The colleges in the past have for the most part pursued a sort of detached ideal, not at all in keeping with the progressive spirit of the times, and as a result their reputation has suffered. It is a fact that by far the larger number of great inventions have been the work of men who were not col¬ lege trained, and this is rather a serious indictment of the work of the colleges and the results attained by them. But the war has shown us what our higher in¬ stitutions can do and we can confidently look forward to a new era in education, in which cooperation with all other phases of modern life will be the keynote. In all the educational work of the war no class of institutions has been of greater service to the nation than the Agricultural and Mechanical colleges. These institutions were created in the midst of our Civil war. Their purpose was to provide a place “where all the needful sciences for the practical avocations of life shall be taught ; where neither the higher graces of classical studies, nor the mili¬ tary drill so necessary to the developm ent of the young manhood of our Country will be entirely ignored, and where Agriculture, the foundation of all present and future prosperity, may look for troops of earnest friends, studying its familiar and lecondite economies, and at last elevating it to a higher level, where it may fearlessly invoke comparison with the most advanced standard of the world.” The emphasis placed upon agriculture and the mechanic arts by Senator Mor¬ rill, the author of the Land Grant Act of 1862, which created these institutions, has been misunderstood by many people. His real purpose in establishing these (colleges was well expressed in an address which he made before congress in 1864: “It is perhaps needless to say that these colleges were not established or endowed for the sole purpose of teaching Agriculture. Their object was to give an oppor- tunitv for those engaged in industrial pursuits to obtain some knowledge of the practical sciences related to Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts; such as they could not obtain then at most of our institutions called classical colleges.” In brief, the Act of 1862 provided for a comprehensive system of higher edu¬ cation. Senator Morrill once stated that the convenience of an index clerk was re¬ sponsible for the name “Agricultural College” being commonly used in referring to the institutions broug hitnto existence under this act. The breadth of his real view is emphasized in the title of a supplemental bill introduced by him in 1873, Page Sixty-five which read, “National Colleges for the Advancement of General Scientific and In¬ dustrial Education.” That there was a general misconception in the minds of the people of the purpose of these colleges is evidenced by the fact that there were established as many different kinds of schools under this act as there were states in the Union, from the traditional classical college, top-grafted with a prominent military feature, to the trade school, pure and simple. The original organization of the A. M. Col¬ lege of Texas was a striking example of the former type of institution. The first faculty of this College was made up as follows: The President, who was also Professor of Mental and Moral Philosophy and Belles Lettres. A Professor of Pure Mathematics. A Professor of Applied Mathematics, Mechanics and Military Science. A Professor of Ancient Languages and Literature. A Professor of Chemistry, Natural Sciences and Practical Agriculture. A Professor of Modern Languages and English Literature. In other words, this institution as first organized was conducted upon the university plan of elective studies, with the classics as its great central idea. In its first four years no systematic and practical instruction whatever was given in Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts; instead of popularizing th estudy of agricul¬ ture, horticulture, stock breeding and the mechanic arts, and thus fostering a real appreciation of the dignity and importance of these great industrial pursuits, the authorities of the College, consciously or unconsciously, cultivated a sentiment de- cidedely antagonistic to these branches of study. As a natural consequence the people of Texas withdrew their support and it was necessary to completely re-or¬ ganize the College in 1880. It was in this year that the first graduates were turned out: 7 in the School of English; 3 in the School of Moral Philosophy; 1 in the School of Greek; 3 in the School of Latin; 4 in the School of Mathematics; 1 in the School of Spanish; 2 in the School of Engineering; and none in the School of Agriculture. Possibly the lact of graduates in the School of Agriculture was due to the rather significant fact that the first Professor of Practical Agriculture was a minister and held the degree of Doctor of Divinity. From the re-organization of the College in 1880 to the opening of the session 1898-99 there were onty 3 departments teaching agricultural subjects; the Depart¬ ment of Agriculture, the Department of Horticulture and the Department of Veter¬ inary Science. The Professor of Agriculture was expected to know all there was owrth knowing about farm crops, fertilizers, rotations, practical feeding, stock breeding, marketing, farm management, rural law and politics, farm buildings and all other agricultural topics. How far we have progressed in the past twenty years is evidenced by the fact that there are now in this College 12 distinct departments, each dealing with a well-defined phase of Agriculture, some of them having im¬ portant sub-divisions, which will in time become separate departments. The commanding position which the A. M. College of Texas now holds in the educational world is due very largely to the work of President Bennett Bizzell. m i Since the beginning of his administration in September, 1914, the College has more than doubled its material equipment. The standards of admission have been raised to the level of those prescribed by other hrst-class institutions of the Coun¬ try; courses of study have been broadened and strengthened to meet the increasing demands of the people of Texas; greater elasticity in choice of studies is being allowed in order to meet the individual needs of the students; the Experiment Sta¬ tion has greatly expanded its activities in behalf of investigation and research along agricultural lines of especial importance to the agricultural interests of the State; the Extension Service, in co-operation with the United States Department of Ag¬ riculture, is reaching every part of Texas in its great work of rural life improve¬ ment and community welfare, and is doing much to make the farm not only profit¬ able from a financial standpoint, but a more pleasant place on which to live. After long and bitter struggles the farmer is at last coming into his own, and a great deal of the credit for the new vision which he has seen must be given to the tire¬ less efforts of the college authorities to make farm life more attractive. A new era in higher education has dawned, in which there will be a distinct divergence from the old system. This country of ours has broken away from a past to which it can never return, and the colleges and universities are falling in line by making corresponding readjustments. The Agricultural and Mechanical Colleges will be leaders in the new movement, and the central idea of all their work will be cooperation and service. It is certain that higher education will become more nationalized, and the cir¬ cumstances under which the Land Grant Colleges were created eminently fit them to become the channels through which this nationalization shall be accomplished. Nationalization must come from national financial support, from nationalized aims and from greater untied action. Commerce, science, industry and sociology must be emphasized as never before. Real scholarship must be stimulated, and the oppor¬ tunity given for anyone to study practically anything for which there is a reasonable demand. Students should be permitted to work as fast and as long as they desire. They should be made to understand that their success will depend, not upon what diplomas and institutions are back of them, but upon what they carry within, upon what they are able to do. Under such a system the A. M. Colleges will turn out students who have learned to be at home in all lands and in all ages; to count nature a familiar ac¬ quaintance and art a familiar friend ; to gain a standard of appreciation of other mem’s work, and for the criticism of their own; to carry the keys of the world’s library in their pockets, and feel its resources behind them in whatever tasks they undertake; to make hosts of friends among men of their own age who are to be leaders in all walks of life; to lose themselves in generous enthusiasm and to coop¬ erate for common ends. Thus will be ushered in that golden age of learning, of which we have often dreamed but seldom considered possible of attainment. : y?v Page Sixty-seven ■ • r - w.

He keeps seventeen lights in his room and takes more_ than a passing interest in coeducation. _ He could make his goal writing scenarious for the “movies” or by illustrating the popular stories but he says its “back to the cactus” for him. May luck be with you, Bill. Page Seventy-three ARTHUR IRWIN EDWARDS Millican Agricultural Education Age 21; 1st Lieutenant Co. A; Sergeant Co. A ’18; Sophomore Private Co. C ’17; Fish Co.

The only thing that worries him is the mail service between College Station and Denton, otherwise he takes things as they come to him. When he is not asleep he is either writing letters or arguing, usually both. However, his unassuming nature and his many attractive qualities have made for him many friends at A. M. He is a student of Agriculture, and his frequent trips to Welborn in the interest of garden plotting are strong indications that “Ed” will some day become a genius in the realm of Agricultural Education. For “bringing up Fish in the way they should go,” none can excell him. He is a very good mixer, and his friendship is valued by all who know him. r ' CARL MANN FABIAN Dallas Chemical Engineering Age 24; entered 1915, Private Co. K, ’15-’16; Private Co.

From the start he was an outstanding figure in the military circles—in which he rose to heights sublime as a “Lieutenant” in -the U. S. Army. But this is the least of his merits when he is remembered as a man and a friend. Here is a man who is every inch a man, and whose friendship cannot be duplicated. Pete has a heart as big as himself, that is the property of all his friends and he hasn’t an enemy in the world. A soldier, a true friend, and a man— the qualities that insure success. X MR. FRILEY He was a student here in 1911 but the college needed his services so badly that they took him out of the cadet corps and made him Registrar of the college. He still holds that position, though he is a member of the 1919 class, and he will receive his diploma with it, and they are proud to call him a classmate and friend. He knows every man in the cadet corps, his class standing, and his personal record and he enjoys their friendship. The class of 1919 bids you farewell, Mr. Friley. They know you cannot go out into the world with them for the college needs you too badly, but remember that you have a friend in every member of our class. . 1 Page Seventy-jive BEN MATHEW GIVENS Dallas Animal Husbandry Age 21; Captain Co.

Catfish came to us in 1915, and has made more friends than the average man makes during a lifetime. He commands the respect, friendship and loyalty of every man in the cadet corps. He has had more influence in building up the spirit of this school than almost any man who ever went here. As a yell leader, he has no equal; as an entertainer, he can¬ not be excelled; as an officer, he com¬ mands the respect and obedience of all mankind; as a gentleman, he ex¬ ceeds all Southern traditions. When Catfish leaves this College, he will leave a vacancy that will be hard to fill. The corps rates him as the biggest student asset in the College. Good-bye Catfish, remember us always.

He was an inmate of Pfeuffer Hall in its wildest days, when it was known as Monte Carlo. As time passed he managed to convert this outlaw establishment into a modern garage, where he kept a car at the disposal of his many friends. He will try anything once and for this reason, if for no other, we predict great success for him in the business and social world.

When Percy came to College he was a lonely fish, unhailed and without a reputation. However, he soon began to show above many who brought a “rep” with them. His record shows why he is held so high in the esteem of the College and his classmates. He has never “flunked” a subject, he holds the high rank of major in the cadet corps, he is a member of the “Y” cabinet, he held the rank of 2nd Lieutenant, Infantry, U. S. A. and besides, he is a genuine good fellow. Percy will long live in the minds of his classmates as a gentleman, a scholar and a real man.

He is good in the first, and unexcelled in the last two. Sis is a man with a way. Ladies, friendship-making and leadership are his strong points. With the ladies, he is very considerate without being a gyneolatrist; the number of his friends is enviable; his ability as a leader gets unusual results. He has more pep than any two men in the corps and knows how to impart it to his men. He commands and de¬ serves the respect and friendship of all who come in contact with him. To be brief, we call him an aggressive gentleman of marked southern tradi¬ tions, who does and will, accomplish the thing undertaken.

Under the benign influence of “Jay¬ bird” Leffel he developed into an enterprising Corporal then to 1st Sergeanl. Now he is Captain of one of the best Bands in the history of the Senior Class. With his trombone he instills, lots of pep and enthusiasm into his men. Fritz finds little time for Society at College, because he is devoting all of his time to his course in Electrical Engineering and to music. We feel that he will succeed in whatever profession he may follow. Our first glimpse of “Nick” was in September, 1915 when along with 500 others, he entered this institution of learning. “Nicks” lot was cast with the well known basement rats of Mitchell Hall where he was one of the few who really studied. In fact he was known as a quiet “fish.” The Nichols that entered here as a Sopho¬ more was quite another Nichols. As a Sophomore he took the lead in any sort of work that would annoy the night sergeants, for his specialty was turning over beds with their innocent occupants. As a junior, he won recognition in the Commandant’s office as a proficient military man. Nick’s record in the class room is to be envied, as he has passed every course that he has pursued. W T e know the world will be benefited by having such men as Clay Nichols in it. Page Eighty-four JAMES PORTER, Jr. Graham Electrical Engineeting 2nd Lieutenant Infantry, U. S.

As a mili¬ tary character his career has been an enviable one rising steadily every year, until the war placed him in the campaign of Kansas City and his experiences there are more than thrilling.

He combined with a high degree of success the two qualities which put an ambitious man high, he captured instructors hearts by day and ladies hearts by night. As a military man Stonerod equals any of them. He made his start in the Fish year by having discipline strongly impressed upon him. Naturally he followed this good beginning rising through sergeant on up to his present rank in the surprisingly short time of four years. A. L.

The fact that he is from Taft, and that he first solved the mystery of operating an electric light in Pfeuffer Hall, has been no impediment to his being an excellent engineer. If he maintains the high standards in his work as he has here at A. M. he bids fair to become a second Edison. His ability to handle a baritone drew him to the band. He was raised in Monte Carlo in its prime. His ready smile and his ability to hold ‘‘bull pens” have made him popular with that organization throughout the four years of his course. He did not mingle freely with the fair sex, but when the occasion de¬ manded, he could shake a ‘‘Wicked Foot.” Although he had a very hard course, he was never too busy to give a friend a helping hand.

He is always friendly and con¬ sequently makes friends in bunches. He is some heart smasher and woe unto the fair sex when John and Cupid get together. He is an architect, as much for fun as anything—though he may intend to build a second set of pyramids in order to preserve his memory through the ages. Unneces¬ sary? Correct. He isn’t the kind you forget. And he in the kind who makes good. When he begins designing we know his productions will be THERE. In the movie line he might acquire fame, but he is cut out for a more serious game. May he be in the future as he has been in the past! Enough. Luck to you, John!

His greatest desire was to get one “swat” at the Hun. This he missed by a mere chance, as the armistice was signed just as he was ready to sail. When the war was over he longed for the haunts of A.

History is the means, by which we measure our degree of advancement. The only way a class in a large institution, where many classes enter and stage four short years of life, can make it ' s history live is by a record of it’s accomplish¬ ments. FRESHMAN YEAR The class of 1919 entered the great gates of A. M. College on the 24th day of September, 1915, with the largest enrollment of freshmen ever known to the college at that time. They were live hundred strong and proceeded immedi¬ ately to elect their officrs that were to carry them through the lirst year of battle. The first difficulty that confronted the most inmpudent of men, for as freshmen we certainly were that, was the Cafe de le Sbisa. We were at loss as to what we were about to do for never did we dream that men ate such things as “saw-dust,” “shotguns,” and “Winchesters.” And it took us about two weeks to get the full significance of the names given all the different “eats” that ornamented the messhall tables. V __ “Wooniiow” Wilson Our Fish President. The men of the class had many wonderful times during this year of it’s stay at the place we now love so dearly. It was FISH this and FISH that and even Fish on the Athletic field. For we ha many good athletes even in our fish days. It was the Fish that beat Varsity in 1915. E. S.

SOPHOMORE YEAR In our Sophomore year things were more exciting and many things came to pass that will never happen at this great institution of learning again. As Sophs, we pro¬ ceeded to rule the freshmen as an iron hand should rule. We kept the Juniors in con¬ stant fear that they would wake up some morning and find their most beloved 1 oast- master gone. This was not only fear for one bright morning the Juniors did wake up and their “beloved” was gone, but he was returned in due time with a new suit of clothes on. It was during these dear days that we did disobey the Commlandant and have a stag dance at the Gym. and as a reminder of the occasion the Commandant let us stay on the campus for two whole months and watch the sun rise in the East and sink in the West. This confinement lasted until the ending of one half of our college msm Page K ' incty-tnuo course. And this is what we thought of it, “This year closes the first half of our college days. May the second half be as full of pep, successful undertakings, and harmony as our Freshman and Sophomore years.” D. H. HOWELL . . V. R. BRADY ..... J. B. HARDWICKE J. V.

Sec’y-Treas. .....H istorian JUNIOR YEAR As the third quarter of our term in this most wonderful place opened, many of the best men of the class were not on the Registrar’s roll. Many of the nolbe five hundred were in the numerous camps throughout our country preparing for action. For we are all the boys of Uncle Sam and we are ready at any time to answer his call. It was at this time that the Class of 1919 became Seniors. We were only taking Junior Subjects in College but were the highest class at A. M. at that time for the Senior had been called and not a man with A. M. training can ever let a chance go by, so those that had not been called went any way and left the Juniors to run the College. With a determination and will that can only be paralelled by A. M. men, the class of Campus Club 1919 became Senior in their Junior year and proceeded to prepare themselves and the men under them for the great war. At the end of the Junior year all the men were sent to Ft. Sheridan, 111., to a training camp and very few of them returned to take up the work of the College in the first part of their senior year. From Ft. Sheridan these men were Commissioned in the Army of the United States and scattered throughout the country. The college had many great changes to occur during our Junior year and one would not have been able to recognize the place if he had walked into one of the many new and beautiful buildings that were placed here and there over the campus during this year.

College in the last few months __ « of 1918, it looked as though there was CV not going to be a senior class to gradu- ' bj ate in 1919. Very few r of the Seniors re- turned and all of those were sent to a camp within two months after their re- l turn to college. This stripped the college of a senior class entirely for the first k part of the year, but just about that time some of the boys “Over There’’ made a dying tackle and knocked the Kaiser out. On this account the college sent out a M, be allowed to graduate in two short K terms beginning on the first day of Jan¬ uary, 1919. And it did. Many of the men returned have put their shoulders to the grind-stone and have been en¬ deavoring to make for the people of Texas one of the greatest colleges in the “Doug” Howell United States. It was at this time that Soph, and Junior ( ' lass President. the college changed its military tatics and organized the Artillery and the Sig¬ nal Corps units. The army officers that returned to the College as cadets, were given their choice of the Military training and many of them are now in “Cits” clothes; but this only broadens the class of 1919. And now it is that we enter upon our last lap. With many of the 1918 class as brothers we are about to go forth from the college walls to take our respective places in the world and to light the battle that only the men of 1919 can win. With a brotherly love as strong as rings of steel and as everlasting as the great ocean, we go forth with one of the most brilliant records that could have been accomplished by any body of men. W. E.

Loxgscope ............President W. T. Burns ............Vice-President W. F. Ha eilton ........SecVTreasurer Scott Alexander ............Historian N the fall of the year 1916 1 entered into the sanctuary halls of old A. M., a group of innocent-looking and well-meaning young boys, whose ambitions reached to the highest attainability of mortal man. Bliss, hap¬ piness, and ignorance was seen on the faces of these young men just enter¬ ing on their college career. Career, did anyone say! That theirs was to be a successful one was shown during the Freshman reception at the Y. M. C. A., and at the meeting of the corps on College Night. It did not take long for the “old boys” to realize that they had many wild “fish” to tame. As Freshmen, the class took to athletics as a duck takes to water. Although they were not eligible for the squad they organized a team with D. X. Bible, like¬ wise a Freshman, as coach. The best in the state was their record. Why should they not feel proud ? And so it was in track and basketball, our men winning easily from all state competitors. In many ways the Class of ’20 prove! to all that it had the real “ole A. M. pep.” As all fish think, so they thought that they were at this time the most important unit on the campus. But lo and behold ! It could not be, for the Juniors held their big feed and the noble Class of ’20 sought safety in the tall timbers and the neighboring grain fields, thereupon breaking many records in sprinting and high jumping. Before the end of their first year, America entered the great World War. Al¬ though many would not believe that such an event of international importance would materially affect the ( ' lass of ’20, it did, as the next year at college proved. In September, 1917, when the band of ’20 assembled again, many names were found missing on the roll. Man after man had answered the call of our nation. However, those who did return started in with a will to prepare themselves for the places made vacant bv graduates and those in the service. Under the leadership of TIBHzSZ f iWQ ?=t: .■ . • . •. ' ...: ■•. rr ' . ■� EJCtr r. ' .-.rrLi:. hW ; . Jack Mahan, as President, and J. C. Brown, as Vice-President, neither of whom are now on the campus, the J 20 class started in with a push to offset outside influ¬ ences. This year, our class made possible and captured the Southwestern Cham¬ pionship in football. With eight of the thirteen letter men on the team belonging to our class, were we not justly proud? In basketball, track, and baseball the ’20 class was well represented, and elsewhere one found the ’20 men upholding the name and honor of old A. M. In the fall of 11)18, when the class was want to return to its Alma Mater with its full strength, many of its members could not. Only a very few returned and of these still fewer remained. Uncle Sam had called for more men and the depleted roil of the Class of J 20 gave mute evidence of how nobly the class had responded. During such trying times, class organization was not attempted. College and its activities were at a standstill as far as the Class of 20 was concerned. In January, 1919, almost everyone returned to complete the unfini shed work, and many were the scenes of joy and happiness as the old classmates clasped hands. At the first meeting, E. M. Longscope, of Houston, was elected President and W. T. Burns, also of Houston, as Vice-President. With these two men at its head, the Class of ' ’20 stepped firmly forward into what proved to be the most eventful of all years thus far. The success of the Junior class depends upon its ability to stage a banquet and so successful was ours that all Sophomores were elected unanimously to the Royal Order of Sack Holders. I). X. Bible, the most popular man of the class, is back again after having chased Huns in France. Xenophon left immediately after the 191? football season and joined the aviation of the Signal Corps. The Class of 20 is proud to have him back again, for without him the class would not be complete. All in all, the Class of 20 has undergone more experiences than any other class in the past. To have had one year in the “good old days, with which we were pleased and never will forget; to have had one year of championship teams, of which we were proud; and to have had one year under the new regime when “fish are not “fish and enjoy Senior privileges, at which we are highly disgusted is indeed a varied career. Should present conditions fail to improve we hesitate to state just exactly what next year holds in store for us. FINIS. Pnge One Hundred-six | v.; Splli mm HwB ■SfiEpC!

Day ................Historian KPT EMBER, 1917, saw the beginning of our class; and no doubt there has never before been a better, harder working, or more conscientious group of fellows gathered together as a class, in the history of A. M. College. Immediately upon our arrival, we were introduced to the “old boys,” in a very forceful and impressive manner. The introduction was not al¬ ways a formal one, and usually had as a forerunner, a “table talk” by member of the great family of cadets. Our class was organized under the direction of the “old boys,” and we elected as our president, H. S. Cavitt; and as Vice-President, B. E. Hanly. It was under the wise and unerring leadership of these two men that we became such a wide¬ awake and important part of the college. To these men belong the credit of bring¬ ing us up to the high standards which we have attained. We were brought closer together and soon knew each other so well that we were a single body, instead of two hundred and two separate individuals. We pulled together, our class spirit grew, and we began to awaken to a new view of life—the view of a college man. Upon awaking from his dreams—that he is a man of might and knowledge— the Freshman sees that he is in fact very far from being the smartest man in the world. He is-at once brought down from the heighth of dreamland, and his air castles are more or less destroyed. He sees his mistakes and realizes that he must take a new start from a new point of view—the point of view of a college man. These and many other things we were taught, and only by the aid and personal attention of the “Sophs” were we brought to realize these facts so quickly. After commencement, May 28th, we were very widely scattered. Many joined some branch of the army or navy, while others returned to their work or to their home. Even though we all did not get to go across, those who remained over were working at some industry essential to the winning of the war. We feel that we were very patriotic, and have done our best to “rout the Hun.” In September, 1918, the majority of the “’19 two-year class” returned to A. M. College to join the S. A. T. C. Some went to other schools, some were al¬ ready in the army or navy, and a few stayed with their work. Under the S. A. T. C. regime the members of our class, with but few excep¬ tions, were in the vocational section. For three months our class was practically lost. We did not pursue our regular course of study, and were no longer in the two-year class, as we were working for Uncle Sam. The S. A. T. C. was demobil¬ ized on Dec. 20, 1918, an dwe were once more free to go where we would. On January 3, 1919, we returned to continue our work. We found that most of our old classmates had been discharged from military service and were on the campus ready and eager to take up their work where it was left off. A few of our members changed to the four-year course and we are wishing them good luck in their new work. The majority, however, realizing the good features of the two- year course, and being very enxious to get out into the world and try their hands at the hig game of life, continued their course, and we are now doing the best of work. A more determined and more studious class would indeed be hard to find. The practical results of our efforts will be realized in later years, and it is my prophesy that our class will be represented among the great and leading men of the nation. the new f-W-J -• ' k ' Hundred-ten Page One Hundred-eleven The Class O f 1921 . tyf-rrr . jB HP P aySSn ' Mi NHMpMWTubflbMC £3MahQL 0M § np nmor?

HE largest Freshman class in the history of the college was formed in the Fall of 1917 when over 700 “Fish” arrived at old A. M. and were intro¬ duced to college life. The upper-classmen were untiring in their efforts to see that these “Fish” were properly brought up. The class was organ¬ ized, pep meetings were held, and the spirit of old A. M. was infused into them. Perhaps no Freshman class has ever shown more spirit, nor more loyally supported the college teams, and their support was not in vain, for it was in this year that the great Southwestern football team was formed. The team was never scored on, the final score being 270 to 0. The class gave to the squad three of the most valuable men it had, Higginbotham, Elam, and Garth. Early in the year, the class was organized. J. It. Scudder was elected Presi¬ dent; W. H. Spaulding, V ice-President; J. M. Caldwell, Secretary-Treasurer. Hot long after their arrival, according to custom, a large “ J 21” glared from the very top of the stand pipe; and then followed the “cushless” period. The “Fish” assumed an air of “who cared for Tush” which fooled no one. Then came those wild days of terror, when it was rumored that the Junior banquet was to be held. The “Fish” took to the woods. There were “Fish” every¬ where except in the dormitories. The horse-barn was converted, in a remarkably short time, into a lodging place. Many preferred to be unhampered in case of emergency, and slept in the open. In 1917-18 there was a great deal of moving. These were woeful days for the “Fish.” To them it seemed that college life was just one trunk after another. Men were changed from one company to another, companies were broken up, whole companies were moved from one building to another. When the college gave part of its dormitories to the soldiers, men were crowded three and four in a room, but there was very little complaining. Everyone felt that he was undergoing these hardships for his country, and did it ungrudgingly. At last the school year of 1917- J 18 came to a close. Many had dropped out, as is always the case, on account of scholastic deficiencies, or for other reasons. Those who remained were light-hearted, and looked eagerly to the future. The class had passed the first and most important stage of the process of the survival of the fittest. There remained those who were undaunted by the trials of the Fresh¬ man—those who were willing to pay the price of an education. The Fall term of 1918 was vastly different from its predecessor. During the summer, the government had passed laws requiring men eighteen years or over to register, and providing for Student Army Training Corps to be established in col¬ leges and universities throughout the country. Far less than 700 of the Class of 1921 returned to college. Many had joined the service, some had gone to training camps and received commissions. Those who returned had their minds and hearts in the war; the quest of knowl¬ edge was forgotten. There were many “Fish,” and although some effort was made to bring them upon accordance with long established customs, the college spirit seemed to have been submerged under the clouds of war. waft §3$ m wlS! Page One Hundred-Thirteen At last the S. A. T. C. was formed and the men assigned to three war-strength companies, with newly made lieutenants over them. Those were the dark days. There were military duties from Reveille until Taps. There were formations and rumors of formations. There were studies to be prepared with no time to prepare them. The whole system seemed to be worked on the plan of “let not your right hand know what your left is doing,” and it was indeed a problem for mere human beings who require sleep to find sixteen hours a day to devote to military activ¬ ities and duties. In November the armistice was signed, and orders were received for the demobilization of the S. A. T. C. The dark clouds had blown over. On the twentieth and twenti-first of December the men were given their discharges and allowed to return home for the Xmas holidays. On the 3rd of January, 1919, the new term began. Very few of the numerous “Fish” returned. Most of the Class of 1921 returned with a determination to make up for the lost time during the previous term. It had been decided to divide the school year into three terms instead of two. Men arrived at college all during the second term. The old spirit was revived. An election of officers was held: R. G. Higginbotham was elected President; A. L. Forbes, Vice-President. The Freshmen and Sophomores were separated; there were six “Fish” companies and three Sophomore companies. It began to look as if the “Fish” ' of 7 22 were going to be sadly neglected. By the end of the second term there was more or less unrest among the “Fish” as well as the Sophomores. The third term began with a very unpromising aspect. It seemed as if the pep had died out altogether. F company was broken up, and its members distrib¬ uted among the other companies. The “Fish” were running wild. This was a mat¬ ter of great concern to the Class of ’21, who felt that it was responsible for their - upbringing. There were murmers of dissatisfaction, and things seemed in a very bad way until on April 18, the “Fish” raised a red and white flag with 22 on it from the top of Leggett Hall. This was the last straw, as it were, and that night about eleven o ' clock the Sophomores raided the “Fish.” The “Fish” took to the brush, pursued closely by Sophomores. Many things were impressed upon their memory and elsewhere. The old spirit had returned. From then on the situation appeared more promising. On the 19th of April the saddest event in the history of the class took place when J. C. Adams, one of its most beloved members was killed in a motorcycle acci¬ dent. His death was a shock to the entire student body, and particularly to the Class of ’21. His memory will live with them through life. As the end of the school year drew near the Sophomore class seemed more closely united than ever before. Class spirit and loyalty were ever stronger, and there was not a man but was proud of the fact that he was a member of the Class of ’21.

College with the expectation of stopping over a few days and then going to an Officers’ Training School, and there receive our Commissions as Second Lieutenants. But it wasn’t quite that way. Getting registered was quite a task as there were about 1500 other ambitious Freshmen trying to do the same thing at the same time. The first morning when Reveille blew we all jumped out of bed with a smile over our faces. It was nice to think that we were really at college and that we were soon to become real soldiers. The next day of importance was when we marched to the Parade Ground to take the Oath of Allegiance to the United States Government. A few days later we signed the enlistment papers and began drawing our $1 per. in the meantime the young Lieutenants (Shavetails) from Fort Sheridan arrived and took charge of the companies, drilling us two hours daily and reading to “Army Regulations in Time of War.” They also taught us how to scrub floors — and among other things to pick up matches and cigarette stubs from the com¬ pany areas. Time passed and we began to get a little tired of arising at 5 :50 A. M., of saluting, scrubbing, drilling, and “Everything.” It seemed as if we were never to get to an Officers’ Training School as only about twenty boys had been sent by this time. On the morning of November 11, 1918, we were awakened by the Power Plant whistle which sounded very doleful indeed at that early hour of the morning. We soon found out what that meant. Some of the boys were glad and some of them were angry because they knew that they would never get to go “over there” as the armistice had been signed. We continued drilling and scrubbing until Dec. 20. On that date Reveille blew at 3 :50 A. M., we turned in our rifles and blankets, had breakfast, were paid off, received our discharges from the U. S. Army and caught the noon train for our homes. There were two regular and one special trains leaving both ways to carry the 1800 boys who were leaving. On returning on January 3rd we found a very different place indeed, as we did not have to get up for reveille, to scrub any more floors, or to do K. P. duty. Out of the 1800 boys who left in Decemberthere were only about 800 who returned. These of course were of the highest type of young men. They were very friendly and lovable,—the Sophomores being away down in Bizzell Hall. When our baseball season neared it was decided that we needed a new grand¬ stand very badly. So it was decided that it was up to the Class of ’22 to build one as a memorial. I feel very proud in saying that our class is the first class in the history of the college to build a memorial in their Freshman year. ;®e s R3£ejSW issui II mmmasmLR Page One Hundred-eighteen m Page One Hundred-nineteen Page One Hundred-twenty Page One Hundred-tiventy-tivo Page One Hundred-tvjenty-three Page One Hundred-t menty-four MPIiEmS mssi page One-Hundred-twenty-five A .H.

H vi Page One Hundred-fifty-one E uinu nf 19IB 3FootbaU paaon iST writing a review of the football season, no apology is offered. The cadets who were in school know more of the team, its record and its spirit than 1 could tell of here in this short space. To the old men who were in the Service, away from College, a few words might be of interest. It is always hard to follow a team of champions, but in September it “looked good. 5 ’ Woodrow Wilson, Higginbotham, Mahan, Elam and Alexander of the 1917 squad were on hand and hard at work the first day, and our “fish” prospects seemed able to maintain their reputations. We were very much disappointed when our October schedule was cancelled by the S. A. T. C. authori¬ ties. About that time the influenza hit us and hit us hard. 1 hardly recognized the squad on my first appearance at practice, after a 17-day absence with a case of “flu” all my own. But in ten days we were ready again. Then just before the season finally opened with Ream Field, we suffered the hardest blow of all, Higgin¬ botham went to the Aviation Service, and Woodrow Wilson and Mahan went to Training Camp. The power of the line and the human motor-cycles from the back- field could not be replaced—we missed them all year, but we were glad to lose such men to the “Bigger Game.” The scores can be found elsewhere—they are out of place here. With the fastest team in this section we had but one dry field. On that day we beat the Camp Travis huskies in a bloody battle. Baylor was easy, even in the mud. South¬ western showed a strong team, but we out-played them and won on a break. We met Texas next, and in Austin on Clarke Field. The scort 7-0 does not show the difference in the teams. Texas won because they had a better team in every de¬ partment, except punting—they were heavier, taller, older, more experienced and playing on their own field. To lose was no disgrace. I never saw a gamer fight than we put up. I know it is hard to lose to Texas—and unless one saw the game Page One Hundred-fifty-two he cannot reconcile himself to it. Brit to see these light, green men fight was a satisfaction. For one memorable hour they stood up and took a terrific punish¬ ment—took it willingly and bored in for more. Tubby Graves. The championship of the Southwestern Conference hung in the balance till the final whistle blew on Thanksgiving day. The Aggies emerged from that fray with second honors. A remarkable season was 1918 in many ways. A. M. had the lightest team in years but her fight and her ability to take untold punishment at the hands of heavier teams were wonders not to be forgot. The Farmers suf¬ fered defeat only once—defeated but not conquered. S. A. T. C. regulations, added drill hours, practice hours cut in half, in addi¬ tion to the “flu” and very disagreeable weather, made a season of difficulties. When “Tubby” Graves was out for nearly a month, “Hec” Edmonston and Mike Cassiday fell right into his shoes and “carried on” like veterans. With only two letter men —an end and a quarter—Coach Graves turned out a team that the student body should admire and be proud of. “Tv. imiii ass! JB b Page One Hundred-fifty-three The Aviators of Park Place, Houston, came up for our first “go round.” The game was played on a field of mud and water—as a result, slow and uninteresting from the spectator’s point of view. “Dirty tactics” featured—coming from the Aviators’ eleven. Pierce, center, broke his hand in this game. A. M................ 7 Park Field............ A. M...............12 Camp Travis........... 6 In this fray the younger players showed that they had worlds of fight and endurance. Out¬ weighed both in line and backfield, the team fought for their very lives. An ideal game from the stands. A. M. scored, then Camp Travis. The two teams battling to a tie—the issue ever in doubt. In the last few minutes A. M., with a series of brilliant end runs, carried the ball 50 yards to within 3 yards of the goal. Time out—30 seconds more to play—one more play would win or lose. Amid breathless silence Harrison barked a signal and dropped back to pass—ends and halves jumped into Travis’ territory seeking an opening— there was one—a throw to Alexander and victory. Page One Hundred-fifty-four ' gg A. M...............19 Baylor ................ The annual game with Baylor during the Cotton Palace Celebrity is always one of marked interest.

Texas having a much heavier team had the edge on us in the mud. The ystarted oft with a rush and shoved a touchdown across in the first quarter. Then the Aggies displayed their renowned quality of never-giving-up. The heavier Longhorns would advance only to be hurled back by the Farmer Machine. The Aggies were charging down the field for a touchdown when the final whistle blew.

The first game of the Farmers in Austin re¬ sulted in a victory for the Longhorns after a ten- inning scrap. The playing of both teams was re¬ markable. Higdon allowed but four hits and Gillet allowed but one. The second game resulted with another victory for the University team. Hig¬ ginbotham;, our star pitcher, was in poor form, due to a long absence from the game, and was replaced in the sixth by Bigney, who held the opponents to one hit the re¬ mainder of the game. THE SOUTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY GAME. A. M............. 0—5 In the final game of the season showed Hig- Southwestern....... 1_0 ginbotham in his old form. The feature of the game and probably the most brilliant play that has ever been made in Texas was produced by Rigney, who, after having to jump from the ground to catch a hard drive to short, fell and rolled over about three times, but held on to the ball all the while, and rising to his feet, threw a runner out who was trying to steel second. It was a clever play with which to finish one’s college base¬ ball career.

HE A. and M. track team of 1918 may be called our War-Time Track Team. From the very first call for candidates, the war showed its effects on the team. Only a very small percentage of the track material in college was available by the latter part of the season due to the gradual exodus of men into the various branches of the service, and of those who remained, eligi¬ bility due to lowering of scholastic work as a result of the general war Page One Hundred-seventy-one m l activity and unrest, claimed a full quota. At the beginning of the season, prospects were very bright. Enough material was in school to easily “clean up” on everything in the conference, but the track Jonah was soon at work. Measles and mumps laid low some of the best mateiial, and practically a month of training was lost by these men. The best hurdler and two of the best sprinters in the state were low in scholastic work and later went to Officers Training Camp. The best javelin and shot putter in school and the best broad jump man were declared ineligible, and the season opened with the Baylor Dual Meet at College, Apr. 4, without a single letter man in the lineup. ffUGHONTC R5 RAH RAH R4 RAH RAH RAHi RflfyRAW RAH!

Jonas who had been unanimously elected captain, the team defeated Baylor to the tune of TS 1 points to UO 1 points. In this meet Jonas, Sheram, Mahan, Lee, Hugon, Tyler, McQuillen, Watson and Wendt did good work and piled up the points. In this meet two men deserve special mention in grit and head-work displayed. In the 880-yd. run McQuillen was spiked by a Baylor runner. Rather than continue the race, he dropped out, the Baylor man was disqualified, and A. M. was given first and second rather than first and third which she would have taken had Mac contin¬ ued the race. In the 220-yd. dash, Hugon ran a beautiful race on a strained ankle, easily winning in the last fifty yards. Two weeks later at Austin the same team gave the University the closest run for a dual meet that was ever staged on that field. The meet was all to the good for the Farmers until just at the relay. The State team won this event after a hard fight ,and edged out ahead in the broad-jump, the final score being 571 2 m I r m Page One Hundred-seventy-tivo against Sl 1 in favor of State. In this meet Mahan showed the javelin heavers how to throw the spear, taking just two trials, and letting his mark of 116 ft. 8 in. stand. This is a new record for the college, and exceeds the Conference record. Jack also demonstrated his versatility by taking the pole vault, winning points in the shotj and running a plucky 220-dash. Sheram was hardly beaten at the finish of the 220 hurdles after losing a shoe and running the last 150 yards on the cinders with one hare foot. The Southwest Conference Meet at Norman, Okla., on May 11, will always remain a blue letter day in the minds of the A. M. men who entered the meet. As soon as the elements discovered that there was to be a track meet, it started pouring down rain, and the beautiful clay track was covered four inches deep in water. About the middle of the afternoon when it showed signs of ceasing, the officials decided to mark out a course on the Oklahoma campus and around the drive, and the show began. The hurdles were run over flower beds, with some of the take-offs on cement walks, the sprints were run on a damp lawn, also hitting or dodging flower beds, the distance events were run on soft cinder drive, and the tiP! TUBBY’S VICTORIOUS SOCCER TEAM shot had to be dug out of the mud and washed after every heave. Perhaps the biggest disappointment of the meet was to take second to 141 ft. in the javelin. Stein Lee showed real form by taking a place in the half, the first competition he had entered in that event during the season. Probably the prettiest demonstration that there are no quitters at A. M. was the last event in the meet,—the relay. 1 Page-One Hundred-seventy-threi mi i iiiiBmnriim) p ininrmiTnrrrmnnTr-nrjjjT Page On: Hundred-seventy-fivi Haaket Hall 1319. ITH the return of many students from the army at the beginning of the second term Basketball stock took a tremendous rise. Captain Long- scope was first to arrive, followed by McQuillen, Forbes, and Tighe all within a week, and under Coach Driver the whole squad was soon at work. A large number of likely looking Fish reported for practice and of these Williams and Mitchel leceived letters. “Eddie ' ’ Longscope, Captain. The team went well throughout the season and would have tied with State University had it not been for the unfortunate occurrence at Waco. A. M., 31. T. C. U., 12. T. C. U. flushed with success at two victories over the Rice Owls were first to fall before the Aggie machine. The Horned Frogs were clearly outclassed from the beginning and the game was never in doubt. A. M., 40—35. Southwestern, 12—15. Southwestern put up a game fight and showed lots of speed but were unable to cope with the well balanced Farmer Bunch. The Pirate forwards had very few chances at goals while the Aggies ran up point after point. Page One Hundred-seventy-six m •■Vi: A. M., 24—36. Marines, 8—12. The Galveston Marines were next on the list and met the same fate as our other opponents. In this series Forbes blossomed forth as a star of the first magni¬ tude giving promise of what he later proved of being—the best center in the state. A. M., 41—39. Baylor, 8—5. In this series the Aggies had small difficulty in overwhelming their opponents, the visitors being able to make only three field goals in the two games. A. M., 24. T. C. XL, 23. This game was the first one away from home. The nervousness of the team and the strangeness of the court accounted for the slight margin in the score. Feature of the game was the football tactics of the Horned Frogs. A. M., 25. S. M. XL, 18. The second game on foreign shores was won by the Farmers with Forbes and McQuillen starring, the former making five field goals and clearly outplaying Me Knight, S. M. XJ s star center. A. M., 56—24. Baylor, 18—26. In the third game of the series with Baylor the Aggies completely routed the Bears on their own court, running up the largest score of the season. After three games away from home Coach Driver desiring to rest his first string men, sent the substitutes in against Baylor in the last game of the series. The Bears, seeing their chance rolled up a lead on the second team and when the regulars were rushed in there was not time enough left to retrieve victory. The scores of the other three games show conclusively the relative strength of the two teams. Ho alibi is offered for this game. A. M. 19—22. Texas XI., 28—15. An even break in the first series with State caused much interest and suspense in athletic circles. In the first half of the first game the Longhorns took a big lead, and although the Farmers outplayed and out-scored them in the second half they could not overcome the lead of the Yellow and White. The second game was a: complete reversal of the first with the Aggie team working so smoothly that there were no particular individual stars. A. M., 30—15. Texas XL, 19—22. The second half of the series was more or less a duplicate of the first half with the Aggies surpassing the Longhorns in first game and in the first half of the sec¬ ond. The first game was won by the machine-like teamwork of the Farmer five with Tighe doing some excellent work at forward. These games ended the Collegiate season for the Farmer quint. The season was one of the most successful in the history of the school. Eleven out of fourteen Collegiate games were won with a total score of 533 points against their opponents 295. Considering the afet that only two letter men remained as a neucleus of this year’s team this record is one to be proud of. ' %4 .

Power Lift Tractor Disc Gang’ Plows Three and Four Furrow The P. O. No. 1 Power Lift Disc Plow has the same dependable, positive power lift device as that used on the famous P. O. Little Genius. Tractor operator controls plow from his position at steering wheel. Only one trip rope required. One lever operates front furrow wheel, and another the land wheel, both levers being used for regulating depth and leveling plow. When discs are in ground front furrow lever sets ahead and within easy reach of operator, but when discs are raised, this lever swings back over plow out of way. Levers and bottoms counterbalance by heavy springs, making them easy to operate. Lever provided for raising rear end of plow to give discs ample clearance for transporting. Great clearance under beams and between discs insure good work in trashy ground. Hitch construction holds wheels rigidly as plow moves on straight course but allows them to caster naturally in turning to right or left. Rigidity of hitch permits plow to be backed. Wide range of vertical and lateral hitch ad¬ justment. Rear furrow wheel controlled by front fur¬ row wheel. Has adjustment for securing proper set of rear wheel in hard or soft ground. Hitch equipped with wooden break pin. Discs are 24 inches in diameter, and re¬ volve on chilled bearings, with hard oil lubrication. Discs can be set to cut 8 to 10 inch furrows, and 6 to 10 inches deep. 26 inch discs can be furnished on special orders. Scraper arms have ball and socket joints, giving very close adjustment. Scrapers may be as shown in cuts or of moldboard type. Made in 3 and 4 furrow. The frame con¬ struction makes it easy to convert the 3 to a 4, or the 4 to a 3 furrow. Will plow 10 inches deep.

Avery Sons’ organization —experience acquired in practically every farming region on the globe. Avery plows blazed the trail for American farm implements in many foreign lands and have during three generations played a leading part in making the United States the farm machinery headquarters for the world. In our designing rooms were originated many implements whose use has added to the comfort and happiness of millions, by reducing the cost of producing the food they ate and the clothing they wore. While proud of nearly a century of growth and achievement, we are not resting on the laurels won in the past. Our extensive designing department keeps step with the march of progress by turning out from month to month improved types of implements that enable the farmer to do a better and an easier day’s work. To tillage implements of proven quality, we have recently added the famous CHAMPION Harvesting and Hay Machinery a line which has gained steadily in prestige during sixty-nine years.

From that one anvil in a little plow shop there grew up a great plow factory. Around this factory there grew up a group of other factories, each devoted to the manufacture of a particular class of farm tools for the John Deere Line. Correctly designed tools, of the best material and workmanship, for the use of the modern agri¬ culturist are the products of these factories.
