DIVISIO GRI IIE GRICULTURAL advances are based on educa- tion. This educational job was given to the land- grant colleges over fifty years ago in a loosely-knit bill. Since then the colleges, Iowa State included, have de- veloped an educational program based on the farmer's requirements - determined through the extension serv- ice and through the requests of the sons of the farmers. Farming has become a specialty-and the field of agriculture has developed specialists. With an average of 30-50 thousand dollars investment for each farm worker-an amount surpassing industry's average- Lhe farmer, the rural advisor, and the agricultural educa- tor have been forced to specialize. Seed now comes from commercial producers. Hor- mones are being fed to red meat animals. Experts studv genetics. These advances are startling, but the future, now developing in the minds of these agriculture grad- uates, promises even greater things to come. DEAN FLOYD ANDRE

GITATION by Iowa farmers, for agri- culture instruction, coupled with the Land Grant Act of IS64, culminated in the formation of Ames College. From the original 264 acres of experimental and model farms south of the college, Iowa State experimental agricultural activities have grown to serve the state and nation through re- search, extension and resident instruction. The Iowa Agriculture Experiment Station was first established in l888. Now, working with a yearly budget of nearly jl33,400,000, re- search Workers probe into agricultural prob- leins and return an estimated S5300 to Iowa farmers for every invested dollar. It is through the joint efforts of agricultural Ist row: Bickham, Davis, Schmidt Cpres.j, Riegle, Meyer, Lockwood. 21111 row: Newton, Turner, Kay, Glass, Sorensen, Remy, Odem. 3rd row: Mell- skog, Cornelius, Sherman, Roy, Schwartz Cadvisorj, Cosgriff, Koning, Borcherding Cv. pres.J, Swanson Qsec.J. 4th row: Boulton ftreas.j, Wal- ker CGuild rep.b, Voigt, Gear, Tweeten, Miller, Heaberling, Bruene. and home economics extensionists that research findings are brought to the people in under- standable, applicable form. On the campus itself, through resident in- struction, men and women are trained for life work in the business of farming and related agriculture fields. Determing what information reaches the stu- dent and how and by Whom these facts are pre- sented is partially the choice of the students. The faculty relies heavily on teacher and class rating committees including students se- lected by Agriculture Council. This repre- sentative body also sponsors divisional events, including the All-Ag Banquet, the Harvest Ball and two divisional open houses. Q . vw. M1 1 -.w is : uMx
