C44 HE College of Agriculture is more than a group of buildings on the western end of the Wisconsin campus. It is a statefvvide program designated to promote higher standards and methods for Wisconsin's farmers and homemakers. County agents and extension workers in nearly all of Wisconsin's 71 counties directly contact farmers and their Wives through meetf ings and home visitations. Efficiently integrated under a central administration are the three divisions of the College -educational, extension, and research. As well, the department of Home Economics, a division of the College, provides similar functions for the women of the State. First to have a department of rural sociology, dairy industry, or agronomyg first to have county agents or a Short Course, Wisconsin's College is one of America's ranking 'Agriculf tural schools. Research and discovery of methods, and techniques promoting agricultural methods and improving American living standards have been our College's program. The yearly increase in enrollment in Agricultural and Home Economics courses, the conf stantly increasing numbers of extension workers, and the progressive developments in method and discovery make towards the continuous expansion of the throbbing, pulsing complexity that is our College of Agriculture. ,ff-f'
