Gilson, the College writes in forestry from Brownsville, Texas, where he is assessor and collector for Cameron county water improvement district No. 6. We have had some experience fighting off "the wolf" while pioneering here, but I guess we have won and the future looks bright now. We have now eight acres of fruit bear ing its first crop, and I believe we have the world beaten for flavor. As the Rio Grande Delta is a newly developed country you probably haven't learned its full history. Our soil is sedi mentary and likened in fertility to the val ley of the Nile. O ur region is practically frostless. Last year we shipped over 10,- 000 cars of cabbage, beets, carrots, pota toes, green corn, lettuce, peppers, etc., in proportion. The fruit industry is the new est industry but we ship approximately 300 cars annually, and from now on in crease will be enormous. the The population is largely of northerners who come here to escape the winters of the north.

Record m VIEWS AND COMMENT m of its the from the beauty of The latest College tradition to pass out barbecue went with the transfer ceremony accustomed place in front of Wells hall to the new athletic field south of the river. Since the custom was inaugurated the ox has been roasted and the cider and sandwiches given out in the hollow which had come to be known as Barbecue hollow. Each year the bonfire had left its mark through the entire season, for grass would not grow where the fire had burned deep into the sod. This mar on the Campus has been abolished as have the paths across the Cam pus which have been replaced by brand new asphalt sidewalks. Both are undoubtedly improvements and still there is a question as to what constitutes an improvement. If close association of the barbecue with a cer tain spot on the Campus adds to the regard for M. A. C. and if the paths, which have long been a harping point for Campus journalists, brought back happy memories to the old graduate which nothing could improve replace ments actually improve.
