The School Of Agriculture Ag. Enrollment Up By 15% Enrollment in the School of Agri- culture increased approximately 15 r f over last year. The first increase in several years, it is expected that this growth will continue for several more years. The present enrollment is 449. With the emergence of agriculture from just farming into a big, high- ly technical industry, the School of Agriculture is placing more emphasis on the basic sciences — chemistry, physics, and math — and on business and communications. The School of Agriculture was founded in 1903, and now consists of twelve departments of instruction. The largest department is General Agriculture, with an enrollment of 97. Animal Husbandry, with an en- rollment of 96, is the second largest department. DR. LOUIS N. WISE, Dean DR. JOE BEARDEN Dairy Department DR. C DALE HOOVER Agronomy

DEAN ROBERT T. CLAPP The School Of Forestry Forestry Enrollment Reaches 141 141 students enrolled this year in Mississippi State University ' s baby school, The School of Forestry. Work in the Forestry School, like that in most schools, was not limited to classroom work, but included many interesting and educational hours of work in the field, putting classroom principles into practice. Physical facilities for forestry instruction are centered about the Northeast Mississippi Experimen- tal Forest, an 8,000 acre tract owned by the University and man- aged by the School of Forestry. This property, which furnishes valuable source materials for the foresters, lies within 11 miles of the school and is well stocked with a variety of timber species, tree species, and age classes. Mississippi State University and the School of Forestry, serve the people in a twofold way: educat- ing competent foresters and con- ducting research to Keep Mis- Forestry Students Keep Up With Latest Forestry Methods
