AGRICULTURE Taking a leading position in developing and maintaining courses of interest and usefulness to the returning veterans, Dean W. R. 1-Iorlacher, as head of the College of Agriculture, has raised the enrollment of the College during the second semester. In addition to his being the head of the College, Dean Horlacher is Director of the Agricultural Experimental Stations and of the Agricultural Extension Service. The Exten- sion Service carries results of Agricultural experi- ments to farmers throughout the state and thus works toward the improvement of farming in Arkansas. The division which has developed into the pres- ent-day college started in 1872 with the Univer- sity itself. The College of Agriculture made its appearance as it now exists in 1905. As one of the newest buildings on the campus, the Home Economics Building is also very Well- equipped. Clothing labs, living room and dining room, nursery school, and the Bacteriology lab are located in the building. For training, the boys of the College get to try out methods of farming on the University Ex- perimental Farm, about two miles north of the campus. This excellent Experiment Station was formally organized in 1888 and developed out of one small farm purchased along with land for the University. They raise cattle, pigs, oats, Wheat, and barley. At the University dairy, the dairy products are marketed, letting the Agri students follow their products from the farm to the market. Dean Horlacher came to the -campus in 1936 and three years later he was made Dean of the College of Agriculture. DEA S. LAW In 1944, Dr. Robert A. Lellar returned to Arkansas from VVashington, D.
