Agriculture DICAN XV. L. BLIZZARD The farm, best home of the family, main source of the national wealth, foundation of civilized society, the na- tional Providence. The following departments comprise the school of Ag- riculture and each department grants the baccalaureate de- gree in science: Agriculture Economics, Animal llusbandry, Agriculture Education, Agriculture Journalism, Agronomy. Dairying, Entomology, llorticulture, Poultry llusbandry, and Sociology and Rural Life. To the School of Agriculture falls the task of training men who will not only be farmers of tomorrow, but will be qualified to be leaders in the manifold phases of Work connected with agriculture. It has been found that a very 33 small ercentage of the graduates of the School of Agricul- p 'rw n ture actually engage in farming, but the majority of them become County Agents, Smith-Hughes teachers, ljxperiment Station employees, or enter the Soil Conservation Corps. Forestry, Reforestration, or any one of the many national agencies set up with the prime objective of improving the lot of the modern farmer. Upon their shoulders falls the re- sponsibility of leadership. The school of Agriculture has many activities of interest to the student body designed for the purpose of fostering good scholarship, friendly rivalry and earnest work. The department organizations are educational and are valuable in developing initiative and leadership characteristics among members of the agricultural student body. Besides the school of Agriculture there is also the Agri- culture Experiment Station. It is operated solely for the benefit of the farmer or for people, other than the farmer, who are connected with agriculture. It is the lilxperiment Station that determines proper crop rotations, crops or varieties of crops. lt also furnishes practical feed rations for the different types of livestock, and solves innumerable other problems that confront the ag1'iculturist. The Oklahoma Agricultural and Nlechanical College is the only college in Oklahoma authorized to train teachers of vocational agriculture under the provisions of the Smith- llughes Law or the Federal Vocational ljducation Act. This training is the responsibility of the Department of Agricul- tural Education. The School of Agriculture is today more than ever be- for fulllilling its place in our national crisis. Page 29
