DEPARTMENT OF POULTRY SCIENCE Tlie Poultry Science Department of State College, as in other states, conducts tliree main lines of endeavor, namely: Resident Training, Experimental, and Extension Work. It has a part in assisting in every phase of an industry that hrings over twenty million dollars to the producers of the State, annually. Teaching: Graduate studies toward the degrees of Al. v ' , M. Agr., and Ph. D. Undergraduate studies leading to tlie degree of B. S., and fitting the student for work along the lines of teaching, research, or extension in poultry, and the variou.s lines of poultry production work. Other courses for .■ gricultural students, as well as short courses in poultry production. Research : Covers the studies of anatomy and physiology of the domestic fowl, and disease and disease control. Spec- ially fitted lalioratories and hospitals arc provided for this work. i.)u. l Ai rr I )k. Kf.khKh DEPARTMENT OF VETERINARY MEDICINE No course in . nimal llusliandry is complete and up-to-date unless it includes at least a general knowledge of the common diseases of domestic animals. The possession of such knowledge implies ,in obligation to tlic livestock owner, to the affected animal, anil to the public in general. To the livestock owner, it means that he has a soi-rce of help in case of sickness among his animals; lo the animal affected, it conveys the subconscious information that, in luan, it has a lieli)er and friend rather than an enemy; and, to the general public, it means that one of its greatest sources of food is protected and conserved. The veterinary work at the Col- lege is so arranged that the student in Agriculture is recpiired to take such work as will make him a better caretaker of his animals in health as well as in sickness. W ' ork leading to a degree in Veter- inary Medicine is offered, but tliis is not emphasized. AGRICULTURAL ENGINEERING The course in . gricultural Engineering is designed to give the student an engineering training with an agricultural viewpoint. A thorough grounding in agricultural principles is given, as much time is devoted to purely agricultural sub- jects as possible, and the application of engineering to agri- culture receives its share of attention. The need of such engineers is being felt more and more each year as the demand grows for farms to be better equip- ped with power machinery, farm buildings and home con- veniences and more land to be claimed by drainage, irriga- tion, and clearing. Graduates of this course arc prepared for service in the following lines : with the colleges and government in teach- ing extension and Experiment Station work; with manufac- turers of farm machinery, gas engines, tractors, other farm equipment and farm buildings : in advertising, sales and de- signing work: with engineering and contracting firms doing irrigation work and drainage work : and with farm and trade journals.

Students will) specialize in crops have the opportunity if taking alnuist any course they desire in subjects ther than crops. While the crops courses are primarily intended to train students in successful crop production, the Department offers exceptional opportunity for spi-ciali ation in plant breeding, cot- iiin classing, grain and hay grading, and experi- niental research. The personnel of the Dci)artnient consists of Pro- fessor W. II. Darst. who has charge of the courses offered in ccreaK, legumes and grasses, crop im- piovemeiil, grain and hay grading, and Professor j. 11.

The cc|uipment used in teaching h ' icld Cro|is is as high grade and complete .as used by any other institution in the country. Tlie students specializing irth Carolina . t.itc compare very favorably with eroji students of the leading ille.ges of the l. ' nited States.

Training in 1 lorticulturc leads to orcharding, to vegetable gardening, to the business of the florist, or to the field of orna- mental gardening. I ach has its various phases and specialties, to which introiluction is given, and each may be undertaken from the standpoint of the producer, the teacher, the extension worker, or the research scientist, thus niiiltii)lying the aspects of the field to suit the desires and re(|uireiiients of the most exacting natures.
