ORTH Carolina is tlie fifth agricultural State in the Union. Its high rank has been at- ta ined as a result of the scientific investigations, demonstrations, and instructions promoted by State College in coriperation with the State Depart- ment of Agriculture. The majority of the people of the State employed in gainful occupations are devoting their energies to some form of agricul- ture, and the greater part of our wealth and pros- perity are derived from this great vocation. The art of cultivating the soil properly and living well at home, the value of selecting that form of agriculture which is in greatest demand, and the best method of turning the surplus prod- ucts into commercial channels that will be most profitable to the producer are matters of the great- est concern to the people of the State. The School of Agriculture has been reorganized for the pur- pose of rendering a much larger service to the State along these and other lines. The Experiment Sta- tion and the Extension Service have been more closely united with college instruction, and the courses of study have been so organized and the instruction so broadened as to offer much larger opportunities to young men entering college, and to farmers and other a.gricultural workers throughout the State. THE PURPOSE OF THE SCHOOL The purpose of the School of Agriculture is threefold: (1) To secure through scientific research, experimentation, or demonstration accurate and reliable information relating to soils, plants, and animals, and to secure from every available source reliable statisti- cal, technical and scientific data relating to every phase of agriculture that might be of advantage to our State; (2) to provide instruction in College for young men who desire to enter the field of general agriculture, or who wish to become professionals in agri- cultural education, or specialists in any field of science related to agriculture; and (3) to disseminate reliable information through publications and through exte nsion agents, and through a wise use of this information to give instruction to the agricultural workers of the State in the scientific, experimental, and practical progress in the various lines of agriculture.
