Back Rau'-Mr. DeXVees, Mr.Douglass. 0 Sirrillq' -Mr. Hudelson, Mr. Young, Mr. Green. AGRICULTURAL EDUCATIO D0 T199 Have az Vicfwy Garden? Books, tables, chairs, desks, apparatus, bulletin boards, and University Farm all help make the Agriculture department tops, but it is six men, the staff that really top things off. VVay back in 1920 Mr. C. XV. Hudelson, a pioneer in the field of agriculture, came to Normal. Mr. Hudelson brought to the campus along with his ex- ecutive and farm-managing abilities, a conviction that everyone must have a hobby. His is collecting articles of historical and sentimental value-especially Indian artifacts. His vocational specialties are agronomy and genetics. Mr. Thomas Douglass has been a conscientious worker in the department since 1928. ln spite of his responsibilities with the horticultural aspect of the department work, he finds time to attend basketball games, and go hunting and fishing occasionally. Something Wrong with the tractor, or do you want to remodel the barn? just call in Mr. O. L. Young if you need any good counsel. He's quiet, friendly, well versed in his field, and likes woodwork and sleight-of-hand tricks for avocational interests. Xlr. William DeVVees has a compound specialty of dairy husbandry and adult education. He likes to spend free hours at home with the family and a book or the radio. lf you are having trouble with rationing or balanc- ing the budget, see Mr. john Green. His chief inter- ests are agricultural economics and home landscaping -with an occasional eye for taking pictures. Mr. Lavern Laubaugh ion leave of absence for the presentj comes from Nlichigan where the men are full of zip, fun, and enthusiasm. His specialty is animal husbandry, his past-time ioy is gardening and hunting. Also under the watchful eyes of this agrarian group is the University Farm, some ninety-three acres of real farm land where ag maiors can put into practice all those new-fangled ideas about rotating and soil treat- ment. Strictly up-to-date is this mass of sprawling acres. There's nothing antiquated in the methods the Ag. department advocates about harrowing, plowing, or planting. These tillers-of-the-soil not only know all about pruning and grafting lnot the political kindly but they'll be only too glad to show you around an arboretum or pinetum any time. Here they are-these sons of Ceres-six busy men. lncidentally, l've been having a little trouble with that little hunk of herbaceous material that I brought from home. VVonder if they can help me? 20 lid 'i l ,Ll ,ii i if ii' la li'- Fi , l 2'1 ir- ,v il' 7 lil' 7 iivaf i fl rig?
