For tvventy-eight years agricultural education was the only course ol instruction. At that time Applied Science was added to the curriculum. The extension division ol this department has provided beneficial personal contact with the farmers through- out the state. Stott members are located in every county and lend aid to farmers vvith particular problems. ln 1888 the Experiment Station was established. Through scientific experimentation, valuable knovvledge ol agricultural methods and practices arose. This information is novv distributed to interested persons by printed bulletins and Radio Station WKAR, ovvned and operated by the college.
