Twentieth Century Agricultun Arthur Brown Associate Professor of Dairy Husbandry Dairy Husbandry A college graduate in the field of Dairy Hus- bandry may enter many fields of endeavor related to this science. Aside from the fields of commer- cial dairy farming, dairy farm management, breed- ing purebred dairy cattle, and dairy supervision he may enter the professions of teaching, adminis- tration, research, and sales. The Dairy Husbandry majors at N.A.C. are instructed in the latest com- mercial practices, as well as the techniques and theories lying behind them. Practical work is com- plemented by technical courses and courses in the varied sciences. It is this varied program that enables graduates in this field to meet the keen competition found in the dairy industry today.

Animal Husbandry Animal Husbandry deals basicall) with the breeding, feeding, and management of livestock. Although many graduates in this field are engaged in the practical phases of purebred and commercial beef cattle, swine, sheep, and horse production a great variety of allied fields are also open to the graduates of this major. These allied fields may be government work in research, extension services, marketing, or inspection: in the meat packing or commercial feed industries: or in the profession of teach ing. Whatever the graduate chooses for his life ' s work he is well prepared. He receives his theoretical background from courses in the basic sciences and applied animal sciences, while he gains practical experience from actual work with farm animals.

Demands the Best Techniques Food Industry The Food Industry is devoted to training its students in the practical and technical aspects of food processing and preservation. The men may either major in Dairy Processing or General Foods. Besides courses dealing with specific foods there are also manv subjects applicable to the general realm of chemistry and microbiology which have been found to be of great value. The methods of study are such that first the physical and chemical aspects of a particular food are discussed thor- oughly, and only then are processing procedures taught. Stress is placed on laboratory work which demonstrates the problems in industry on a small scale, and offers corrective procedures. With such rapid advance and changes in industrial technology and equipment, frequ ent field trips to modern food factories have been found to be very helpful. (;e(,rge E.
