Animal Husbandry OR the Animal Hus- Fbandry Division at the University Farm, this has been a year of progress. An enrollment of 1170 students in our Classes has tended to keep us out of mischief, and trying to find a way to do experimental work in ad- dition has kept the mem- bers of the Division staff upon their toes. Experi- ments in feeding rice by- products to hogs, sun- flower silage t0 dairy cows, and the fattening of three cars of steers from the range are in progress. We judged live- stock at twenty-seven fairs last Fall, and have attended many meetings of breeders and livestock associations. Nearly five hundred 7 and 30-day ad- vanced registry records of dairy cows and over six hundred years records have been authenticated. The advanced registry for grade cows is going, and one for fine wool sheep is now under way. PROF. GORDON H. TRUE In the dairy cow competition that closed January 1st over seven hundred - cows completed yearis records. The showing of the division at the International Livestock Exposi- tion at Chicago this year resulted more spectacularly than heretofore even, and spread the name of California wherever stockmen meet throughout the world. Over 53 per cent of the Agricultural College prize money was won by the University of California animals. At the: Cali- fornia National Livestock Show at San Francisco a similar record was made. the University furnishing several champions. A new departure, that of sending out student livestock judging teams, resulted in the boys bringing home from the Pacific International Live- stock Show at Portland, Ore., much silver and glory. The dairy cattle judging team won second and the Jersey trophy given by the Western Dairy Instructors, Association, and the livestock judging team won first in both beef cattle and hogs, winning the Portland Cattle Loan Companyis trophy, and third in all classes. Stockniens Week was the best it has ever been, The association meetings of the week were better attended and were Characterized by a greater interest than ever. 12

.L tbundly 2 4.. Division of Pomology 1TH California the leading fruit grow- ing State of the Union and the acreage in orchards constantly in- creasing, the Pomology Division naturally occu- pies a prominent position -not only because of the instruction Which it gives to a large number of Farm School and Univer- sity students, but from the service Which it ren- ders through Short Cours- es and Extension work to the citizens within its borders. Since plans have been approved for the new Horticultural Building, to be ready for occupation next Fall, fa- cilities for giving class room and laboratory work Will be greatly increased. It is thus felt by Dr. J. C. Whitten, Head of the Di- vision, and also by each of the staff at the Farm PROF- F- W- ALLEN that a larger service can be rendered than has previously been possible. The large orchards at the Farm are of great value in connection With familiarizing the student With the different fruits and their habit of growth, and in furnishing material for such laboratory exercise as spraying, pruning and grafting. The advantage of securing actual practice in these operations is apparent from the fact that during the past holiday season 34 10f the more experienced students spent their entire time in pruning commercial orchards. Although teaching work occupies most of the time of the staff members at Davis and Berkeley, yet a large number of experiments are being conducted. The Deciduous Fruit Experiment Station at Mountain View, Where only investigational work is carried on, has secured some very valuable results in disease control. Blight, the greatest enemy of the pear grower, promises, through the discovery of resistant root stocks and improved methods of treatment to become a less serious menace. Many fundamental problems demanding access to well equipped chemistry and plant physiology laboratories are conducted at Berkeley, while those relative to methods of pruning, spraying, interplanting and the growing of cover crops, requiring orchard facilities, are conducted . at the University Farm. 13
