AGRICULTURE The Division of Agriculture is the oldest of the seven Schools of Michigan State College. In the early days of our college only Agriculture was offered by what then was the Michigan Agricultural College. The three main functions are: resident instruction in Agriculture and Forestry, Experiment Station and Research, and Extension Service. The aim of the resident instruction is to prepare students for successful farming and prepara- tion for the various technical positions in the research and education field of agriculture. The Experiment Station conducts research in the problems that relate to agriculture, such as livestock, soils, poultry, farm management and other fields. County agricultural agents of the Extension Service carry the teachings of the college into every corner of the state, bringing to the farmers the latest and best information available to help guide them in their operations. Agriculture presents a constantly broadening field. lt needs specialists with a scientific background such as this school produces, men trained for actual farm operations, to serve in vocational high schools and industries related to agriculture. Graduates of Michigan State College in agriculture and forestry may be found in the following major lines of Work: General Farming, Producers of Certified Seed Grain, Breeders of Purebred Livestock, Packing House Superintendents, Lumber Merchandising, Research Workers in State, Federal Experiment Stations, Specialists in Plant and Animal Breeding, Teachers in Agriculture.
