This is just another way of saying that the agriculture of the Old Line State is un- usually diversified. To serve that widely diver- sified agriculture to the fullest extent is the aim and function of the College of Agriculture of the University. As now organized, the college includes twelve departments and pro- vides courses that prepare its graduates for all kinds of farm life and lucrative positions in allied industrial fields. Courses are changing constantly to meet new trends. For example, rapid development of the poultry industry in Maryland has resulted in many new and different types of courses. Mechanization of farm and home operations, together with such developments of freezing foods, has required additional and different instruction. A big help to the students are advisory councils composed of leaders in their respective lines in the state.
