Department of Agriculture, carry teachings into farm and home practice in 66 counties of the Commonwealth. This work in the field is supplemented by that of subject-matter specialists who, with the county representatives, bring to the field the latest findings of research to be applied to agriculture and home eco- nomics. Most of these investigations, which seek to extend the boun- daries of agricultural knowledge, are made in response to requests from farmers trying to solve production problems in the most efficient manner. The School has allied itself actively with many projects, including the 4-H Clubs, Future Farmers of America, Victory Gardens, and others. The School offers preparation to students in the following 16 cur- ricula: Agricultural and Biological Chemistry, Agricultural Economics, Agricultural Education, Agricultural Engineering, Agronomy, Animal Husbandry, Bacteriology, Botany, Dairy Husbandry, Forestry, Horticul- ture, Medical Technology, Poultry Husbandry, Pre-Veterinary, Wood Utilization, and Zoology and Entomology. lui ll ini ng ': -'- H sn-4 ' Yi-- 29
