Agriculture Division Sponsors Annual Little American Royal FEBRUARY 5. Tonight marked the 19th an- nual showing of the Little American Royal, student livestock contest, which has long been one of the most popular features for visitors at Kansas State College during Farm and Home week. More than 100 animals, including dairy cattle, horses, beef cattle, hogs and sheep were paraded around the gaily decorated arena of the livestock pavilion in the fitting and showing contest. These animals were owned by the College and were assigned to the various student entrants early last month. The students, as exhibitors, were rated by judges on the basis of the appearance of the animals they were showing and the manner in which they displayed them. DEAN L. E.

AS AN ASSISTANT to the head of the Division of Agriculture, Dean C. W. Mullen acts as administrator of curricula affairs for agriculture students. He is a master at remembering names and faces.
