[in mi HE chief aim of the Horticultural Department, of the Kansas State Agricultural College, at least so it appears to the students, is to keep persons ofT the gi-ass. Divers and many signs and con- trivances are used for this purpose, from the stern call of the head of this department to barricades of barb wire, varied styles of art, and rhetoric. In addition to thus guarding the grass the Horticultural Department runs a snow plow when necessary, mows the lawn, trims the trees, plants the flower beds, and at- tempts, in its feeble way and with its restricted appropriations, to keep the campus in apple pie order during Commencement week and the first week of the fall term. In addition to this, it teaches the students of all agricultural courses, plant propa- gation, market gardening, fruit growing, spraying, landscape gardening; and the short course boys have a condensed course in frait growing and gardening; the young women of the Domestic Science and Art courses have a term in kitchen gardening, landscape gardening, and floriculture. Probably the most popular work offered b°y the department is that in pomology I and II, in which studies the student has an opportunity to become acquainted with the varieties of fruits grown in Kansas. Usually the department manages to trade fruit with a sufficient number of states of the north-east and north-west to give a student a fair idea of all the commercial varieties of apples. There have never been enough boys in this course to fill all the positions that are waiting for them when they attain their degrees. The lines of work to which the horticultural course leads seem to be that of practical orchard work, as foreman and superintendent, teachers and assistants in high schools and agricultural colleges, and work in experiment stations and the United States Department of Agriculture. ' The head of this department answers many inquiries upon the various phases of horticulture; lawns, gardens, orchards, flower beds and mushroom culture. Many an out- of-town boy and girl relies upon the Horticultural Department to furnish the bouquet for the wedding. So far we have never failed to get the flowers to the happy couple on time, even if they had to be ordered bv ' phone and shipped by telegraph.
