Its wide range of courses and efficient instructors have attracted not only stu- dents of agriculture from other states but from foreign countries as well. The departments of animal husbandry and dairy husbandry are equal to the strongest in the United States. Both the stock judging and dairy judging teams have won con- sistently in contests. The famous President Taft cup was presented in person to one of State's dairy judging teams at the National Dairy Show. The Little International Live Stock Show put on by the students of agriculture is one of the largest and best. State is one of the thirteen colleges which stages such an interesting contest. The work of the agronomy department of the college has a national reputation. Progressive farmers throughout the state are making use of its selections of seed. Acme durum wheat, Cole oats, Advance rye, Alta corn. and many others are heralds and boosters of the agronomy department of State College. The horticultural department, with its beautiful gardens and orchard, are known world wide. not for their beauty but for the wonderful work that has been accomplished there. The Compus cherry, the Opata, Sapa, Waneta, and Hanska plums are all products of these gardens. Besides Dr. N. E. Hansen, who directs this work, has produced many hardy ornamentals and an excellent large raspberry. The Cossack alfalfa, for which South Dakota is famous, was introduced from Russia by Dr. Hansen. With the development of the new fruits and many other horticultural products, the selection of high producing and disease resisting grains, the development of one of the best strains of dairy cattle in the world, an outstanding work in rationing for beef cattle and swine, and the introduction of an especially valuable type of sheep and alfalfa from Russia, State college has attained international recognition and has fulfilled her mission to the people of the state.
